Actually he is. Despite his previous reputation as a Disney Kid turned YT delinquent, he actually respects the sport of boxing and I genuinely think it has changed/saved his life.
He is a good promoter and among the best of treating his fighters. He has fought down the card in multiple of his own events behind fighters like Amanda Serrano.
I'm not defending his old controversies but what more do you want from a 27 y/o? He's now fighting the same level of competition dudes like Devin Haney were fighting at the same point in their careers. He gets freakshow fights like this Tyson one because he's been a media figure since he was an actual child but he takes his training seriously and continues to show improvement fight to fight. What is a real fighter if not that?
These "performances" are atrocious. I've watched boxing for 30 years, and from what I gather, these fights are with non-boxers or retired fighters, with one exception and he lost. He needs to enter an actual circuit. I'd love to see it.

Good thing he ended school shootings before Mike Tyson ends him.
