Amir, 27, is one of Tyson’s five kids, and he will be joining the commentary team as he watches his father fight.
None of Tyson’s sons have followed in his footsteps and become professional boxers.
Amir has become a commentator, having been warned off the dangerous sport by his dad.
In August, Amir slammed influencer Hailey ‘Hawk Tuah’ Welch after she attempted to sing the lyrics to Jay-Z’s iconic track, Empire State of Mind.
He took to Instagram, saying: “This era of 15 minutes of intense fame to complete irrelevancy has gotten completely out of hand.”
Amir went on to lament the fleeting nature of internet fame, calling out the rise of internet celebrities.
However, he seemingly praised Tyson’s opponent, Jake.
He vented: “Only people from the internet that have… gained actual celebrity status are the Paul brothers and maybe the Speed, Kai Cenat, and Adin Ross… My kids and grandkids won’t have a clue who these streamers are lol.”

Tyron Woodley

Former UFC champion Tyron Woodley believes that this fight between Paul and Tyson is actually quite close because of Tyson’s advanced age.
The welterweight, who was knocked out by Jake Paul when they fought in August 2021, told TMZ: “It’s a very even fight, to be honest.
“It’s even because of the age of Mike Tyson. I think it’s an even fight because of the age of Mike Tyson. He’s completely, obviously, out of his prime.
“In his prime most of his fights were almost attempted murder, so literally Jake wouldn’t have stood a chance.
“Nobody would even commission or sanction a fight between him and Mike Tyson.”
Woodley also thinks that Paul is now choosing his opponents more carefully than before.
He added: “Jake’s always on a win-win situation.
“He’s fighting guys that if he loses, ‘He lost to this guy. You lost to Tyron, you lost to Anderson Silva, you lost to [Nate] Diaz.’
“So he’s always in a position where if he wins he goes up, if he loses it’s like, OK, he took a risk, he took a chance.”
Woodley defended his own title four times since 2009.

Wade Plemons is a famous YouTuber and is usually seen on DAZN’s broadcast interviewing fighters and talking about fights in general.
In 2023, Plemons uploaded a video to his YouTube channel in which he spoke about a potential KSI vs Jake Paul match-up.
He stated in the video, titled ‘KSI vs Jake Paul.. Is NOT Happening’, that a fight between Paul and Floyd Mayweather would sell more PPVs.
Such insecure clowns. Wade is quality. Plays it down the middle.
Jake Paul on KSI
It appeared to strike a nerve with KSI, who went on a furious rampage on X (formerly known as Twitter) and he posted: “Man, f*** Wade.
“This Wade guy plays all sides. Trying to please everyone. You are so fake, omg. F*** you and everything you stand for, you two-faced c***.
“This man acts like he knows everything about boxing. He doesn’t know s***. You’re not that guy.”
But KSI’s manager Mams Taylor, who co-owns Misfits, appeared to sack the American live on a Twitter Space.
Taylor remarked: “Have fun on KingPyn.” In reference to a rival crossover boxing promotion.
Paul then appeared to defend Plemons, calling KSI “insecure.”
He tweeted: “Such insecure clowns. Wade is quality. Plays it down the middle.
“Says things about me I don’t like, but that just means he’s keeping his opinions real. Now back to my vacation.”
Plemons himself was an all-around athlete who excelled in football to become a noted receiver for Tennessee Tech University.
