Mike Tyson Witnesses tennis match featuring Cori Gauff during a hemp event
Reworked Article:
Mike Tyson, the legendary boxer, found himself courtside at the Berlin Open tennis tournament, where a shocking upset unfolded right before his eyes. The unexpected defeat belonged to none other than the young star Coco Gauff, who fell 3-6, 3-6 to Chinese player Wang Xinyu. Tyson and his wife, Lakiha Spicer, were watchin' from a VIP box, chillin' with an ice cream, but Tyson bounced after the first set, accompanied by his entourage.
You might wonder why one of the most famous boxers in history is hangin' around a tennis court, right? Well, the answer lies in his new venture — Mike's in Berlin for the Mary Jane cannabis trade fair. Owner of multiple cannabis farms, Tyson peddles his weed products in numerous US states.
Interestingly, Tyson and Gauff share more than just a love for competition. At 15 years old, Gauff was trained in boxing by the heavyweight himself, and Tyson's been catchin' her tennis matches at the US Open. Other stars in the audience included musician Marius Müller-Westernhagen and basketball world champion Moritz Wagner.
Now, you gotta remember, it was rainin' like crazy, so the match between world number one Aryna Sabalenka and Swiss player Rebeka Masarova was delayed. But once the skies cleared, Sabalenka kicked some serious butt, winning 6-2, 7-6 (8-6) to advance to the quarterfinals.
Bummer for German player Eva Lys, who got eliminated in the opening round. Lots of top players in the tournament, preppin' for Wimbledon, which starts on June 30th. And hey, who knows? Maybe Tyson'll be back, rootin' for his boxing buddy Gauff in the future.
