The eSport character of Mike Tyson took home the eAli Trophy after 12 rounds of war with eMuhammad Ali.
Mike Tyson won the inaugural ‘eWBSS Heavyweight Legends’ Tournament’ Sunday night with hundreds of thousands of fight fans watching the final via Facebook.
The three judges scored it 114-111 in favour of Tyson after a closely contested bout. The final was everything imaginable when you pair prime versions of Ali and Tyson. A titanic battle over 12 rounds. A highly skilled drama with the two of the most renowned boxers in sports history, The Greatest and The Baddest Man on the Planet.
