Tyson joins Indian MMA
THE former undisputed world heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson, pictured, will grace the launch of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) Kumite 1 League as a mentor in Mumbai on September 29.
The league will witness fighters from around the world roughing it out in the hexagon ring and the live beaming will be made available in more than 10 cities on PVR cinemas.
This will be the second time that the multiplex chain live beam a sports event after broadcasting the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Talking about the development,
Kumite 1 League CMD, Mohamedali Budhwani, said: “Yes, we do have Mike Tyson as our mentor but the league is just at its inception. I’m thrilled by the enthusiasm shown by PVR Cinema. The faith that they have put into the Kumite 1 league is extremely motivating.
I have personally taken it upon myself to make India a multiple sports nation down the years.”
The league is supported by the All India Mixed Martial Arts Federation. – IANS
