At Mike Tyson had a unique style. But when asked about a fighter who reminds him of himself, "Iron Mike" does not hesitate to point to Isaac Cruz (24-2-1, 17 KOs).

The little-known "Pitbull" jumped into deep water and at the end of the battle went ahead after Gervonta Davis. In the end, he lost on points, but left a good impression. It was this that Cruz had many early victories over strong rivals. Short and stocky by lightweight standards, the Mexican will have his next fight on July 29. His opponent will be Giovanni Cabrera (21-0, 7 KOs).

“If I had to name someone who reminds me of myself, I would name Isaac Cruz. He is short and stocky for his weight and, like me, constantly attacks. Cruz most reminds me of who I once was. He stepped into the ring with bad intentions and delivered the biggest punches of his career to Tank Davis,” said Mike Tyson.
