The 32nd annual “Shark Week” kicks off August 9 on Discovery Channel, and we’ve learned today that this year’s main event will see boxing legend Mike Tyson… battling a shark?!
An official press release details brand new special Tyson vs. Jaws: Rumble on the Reef, “Legendary boxer Mike Tyson is training to make his way back in the ring with a very unlikely sparring partner. Iron Mike will go toe to fin with one of the ocean’s top apex predators when Shark Week 2020 begins on Sunday, August 9.”
“With famed ring announcer Michael Buffer calling the shots, these two heavyweights will square off underwater, where Mike Tyson will try to score a TKO over the massive shark. And don’t worry, no sharks were harmed (or bitten) in the making of this episode.”
“I took on this challenger to overcome fears I still deal with in life,” said Tyson. “I equate this with overcoming my fear of getting back into the ring at 54 years old. I learned from this experience doing Shark Week that whatever intimidates me, I am still able to step up to the challenge of overcoming anything that would prevent me from accomplishing my life’s mission of reaching my highest potential in life and bringing me closer to God.”
Take a bite out of the teaser trailer for the bizarre special below!
Entertainment Weekly recently teased that “Shark Week 2020” will feature 20 hours of brand new programming, “including a special that marks the 20th anniversary of Air Jaws.”
The site continues, “You will swim the globe and visit such places as New Zealand, Australia, and South Africa to learn how the pandemic lockdown — which reduced the number of people playing or working in the oceans — has given sharks the opportunity to reclaim the oceans.”
The official schedule is coming soon.
