Sorry boxing fans, but the rumours and flyers are not true. Mike Tyson is not having a fight night party to watch Floyd Mayweather v Manny Pacquiao.

The former heavyweight champion of the world took to Twitter to confirm that rumours of a party at “Mike Tyson Mansion” were false and that he no longer lives at the address. Tyson has already caused a stir in Las Vegas after making comments about Mayweather following his claim that he is the greatest boxer in history.

Flyers had also been created and distributed to advertise a fight at Tyson former home.

Taking to his Twitter account, Tyson said: “I am NOT hosting a party fight night at ‘Mike Tyson Mansion’. If you got a flyer & was misled into thinking I would be there it's not true.

“People call the Vegas house I use to live in Tyson Mansion & it's misleading. I moved yrs ago & never plan on stepping foot in there again,” he added in a second tweet.

Tyson has already made his prediction for the ‘Fight of the Century’ with the 48-year-old retired boxer putting his faith in Pacquiao to seal victory in the £300m-plus mega-fight, which takes place in the early hours of Sunday morning.
