Two-time Super Bowl champion quarterback Peyton Manning has been a busy man in retirement with the success of his Monday Night Football Manningcast alongside his brother, Eli, as well as his numerous commercials, production work, and his array of media appearances, most recently popping up on the panel at The Olympics in Paris.
According to a recent report, Manning will also be serving as a special guest at an upcoming Mike Tyson event.
Tyson has a fight with Jake Paul scheduled for November 15th, and according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Manning will be a special guest at the press conference during Fanatics Fest NYC on August 18th at the Javits Center where Manning will join Ryan Clark on stage and be a part of the activities and the face-off before November’s fight.

The Tyson/Paul fight was originally scheduled for July 20th, but had to be postponed after Tyson suffered an ulcer flare-up on a flight.
Tyson is at a significant age disadvantage in the fight but has a world of experience in his 58 years, while Paul has just 10 fights under his belt at age 27 and receives a ton of criticism coming from his YouTube background and carefully selecting his fights to enhance his record.
Fans have never heard from Manning in the boxing world, so it will be interesting to see what he has to say about the fight.
If he’s able to fire off takes at the Olympics even though football isn’t in the games, he should be just fine providing a little spice for the fight.
