Khabib Nurmagomedov has admitted that even if he tried, he wouldn't become as good a boxer as the legendary Mike Tyson. Nurmagomedov, his manager Ali Abdelaziz, and Henry Cejudo recently appeared on Mike Tyson's Hotboxin' podcast.

"I am great in boxing? Umm, not like him, not like him. I wish, but not like him in boxing," said Khabib Nurmagomedov.

"Of course, I like this guy. He inspires millions of people around the world, you know, like very good example for the people. Great champion, you know. He's a legend," said Khabib Nurmagomedov.
