LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal and Jerry West have all committed to attend the most significant heavyweight bout on U.S. soil since Lennox Lewis knocked out Mike Tyson in Memphis in 2002.
Magic Johnson, an ardent fight fan, had yet to request a seat as of Thursday afternoon, but Lakers front-row fan and Oscar-winning actor Jack Nicholson is expected to be there, along with fellow Hollywood stars Mark Wahlberg, Michael B. Jordan and Chadwick Boseman.
The celebrity list also includes actor Owen Wilson, Good Morning America host and retired NFL great Michael Strahan, along with Lewis and fellow former heavyweight champions Evander Holyfield and Michael Spinks. Espinoza’s former client, Tyson, has yet to commit.
Not bad, not bad at all.
