Mike Tyson Launches Las Vegas Amateur Invitational

Mike Tyson is sounding the alarm on the state of U.S. boxing and launching a new amateur invitational in Las Vegas to help revitalize the sport.

The former heavyweight champion announced the Mike Tyson Invitational for March 12-14 in Las Vegas. The event aims to bring together top amateur boxers to elevate the sport's status and address concerns about its decline.

Tyson expressed concern that boxing is 'dying' at the grassroots level and lacks sufficient competition compared to other countries. He hopes the tournament will create more opportunities for fighters to develop their skills.
