Mike Tyson Set To Box A Shark During Shark Week

New York Post – “Live every week like it’s Shark Week.”

That is a quote from the character Tracy Jordan on “30 Rock.” But it also applies to Mike Tyson and his latest opponent in the ring.

The former boxer will glove up for a match with America’s favorite fish in a new special on the Discovery Channel, “Tyson vs. Jaws: Rumble On the Reef,” which will air Aug. 9 during the network’s famed Shark Week.

The face-tatted Tyson will “square off” against a shark “in the name of research,” reports Entertainment Weekly. No sharks were harmed while making the show, and it is not explicitly clear how Tyson and the aquatic animal will interact.
