evidence: According to posts on social media, US boxer Mike Tyson has said he’s willing to fight Algerian boxer Imane Khelif amid a debate over gender eligibility in boxing. But a spokesperson for Mr Tyson confirmed he said no such thing. One post with more than 1,200 shares claims: "Mike Tyson says he's willing to Box Olympic DUDE with all Proceeds to go to a Battered Women's Charity" alongside photos of the two boxers. Many other posts on Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), Threads and Instagram share almost identical text and images. But we could find no evidence Mr Tyson actually said this and there’s no mention of a fight against Ms Khelif on Mr Tyson’s social media platforms.
