EA Sports has announced that Muhammed Ali and Mike Tyson will both be on the cover of the next title in the boxing game franchise, Fight Night Round 4.
Why EA decided to put these two boxers on the cover together is beyond me, Ali is the GOAT, "Greatest of All Time," and while Tyson hit hard and sometimes bit harder, I would never begin to compare Tyson to Ali in the ring. But, still, this will be the first time "Iron Mike" has stepped into the virtual ring since his famed Nintendo game, (I'm not counting that garbage game for Xbox that had his named slapped on it) and EA is going to milk the fantasy matchup of Ali vs. Tyson for all it's worth.
“I’m honored to be on the cover of Fight Night Round 4 with Ali. He was a special champ, and I have the highest respect for him as a person and a fighter” said Tyson. “People always ask me if I think I would have beaten Ali if I had the chance to fight him when we were both in our prime. Now you can figure it out for yourselves. Fight Night puts you right in that ring and gives you the gloves to settle the score.”
I wasn't aware B-Hop was hired by ESPN,
but listening to Tyson talk always cracks me up
Fight Night Round 4 features an all new physics based gameplay engine that brings the most authentic interpretation of the sweet science to the videogame world. The action inside the ring will be faster than ever, delivering a true representation of the sport’s incredible speed, accuracy, timing, and power.

I don't think there's a button mapped for "ear bite" in Round 4...
