Tyson vs. Jaws – Rumble On The Reef Announced For Shark Week
Discovery Channel’s “Shark Week” kicks off August 9 with an interesting attraction featuring Mike Tyson battling a shark. Famed ring announcer Michael Buffer will also be involved in the television special.
The official press release provides details on the episode
Legendary boxer and entrepreneur Mike Tyson is taking on a new challenge…and he picked the most unlikely training partner. Iron Mike will go head to head with one of the ocean’s top apex predators in TYSON VS. JAWS: RUMBLE ON THE REEF. With famed ring announcer Michael Buffer calling the shots, these two heavyweights will square off underwater, where Mike Tyson will try to score a TKO over the massive shark… all in the name of research. And don’t worry, no sharks were harmed (or bitten) in the making of this episode.
I took on this challenger to overcome fears I still deal with in life,” Mike Tyson stated. “I equate this with overcoming my fear of getting back into the ring at 54 years old. I learned from this experience doing Shark Week that whatever intimidates me, I am still able to step up to the challenge of overcoming anything that would prevent me from accomplishing my life’s mission of reaching my highest potential in life and bringing me closer to God.”
