In a heartwarming act of kindness, former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson has given $1 million to Serena Williams’ tennis academy, which was established by the 23-time Grand Slam champion. Serena’s supremacy and legacy in tennis, which match his own accomplishments in the ring, have long been appreciated by Tyson, a boxing icon.
The gift will help Williams’ Florida-based academy, which specializes in giving aspiring players the best instruction and guidance, develop new tennis talent. The academy is a symbol of Serena’s dedication to developing the next wave of tennis talent by providing them all the resources and direction they require to be successful both on and off the court.
Mike Tyson’s support for Serena Williams during her US Open meltdown against Naomi Osaka was deemed “unfairly targeted.”
Tyson’s participation demonstrates how two sports legends who have achieved success outside of their respective domains respect one another and that their influence goes well beyond their respective sports. This collaboration shows the value of giving back and leveraging their notoriety to bring about long-lasting change for both heroes.
