US heavyweight boxing legend Mike Tyson has denied giving his support to a blockchain-based platform for fighters dubbed Fight to Fame, which is allegedly a fraudulent scheme.
I am not involved with Fight to Fame or their countdown website, nor will I be involved with anything related to Fight to Fame now or in the future. Any media reporting my current involvement isn’t accurate.

Earlier this month, VentureBeat reported that Tyson would serve as the founder and chairman of the venture’s sports and competition committee.
Prior to that, Cointelligence released its research into the project and founder and CEO Shi Jianxiang, labelling Fight to Fame “a total fraud.”
