"Perfect chaos": Kyrgios meets with Mike Tyson while in Los Angeles for UTS teasing upcoming project between two sporting enigmas

Nick Kyrgios met up with Mike Tyson and hinted at a future project.

The Australian tennis player has been away from the ATP tour this year due to injuries and is still recovering from a torn ligament in his right wrist. During his downtime, Kyrgios has been exploring different opportunities and teased a yet-to-be-revealed project with Mike Tyson.

He shared a photo of himself with the former American boxer on Instagram, sparking curiosity about what they might be working on together.

Later, the 28-year-old tennis player posted another photo to his Instagram story, showing himself in a recording session that appears to be an interview or a discussion between Tyson and Kyrgios.

Mike Tyson, one of the most influential boxers in history, won six heavyweight titles, making him one of the greatest of all time. Kyrgios' post with Tyson, as the boxer blows smoke from his mouth, reminded some fans of the controversy surrounding the Australian last year.

“Didn't you once tell a referee that you can't stand the smell of weed?” asked one of Kyrgios' followers.

In his second-round match at the 2022 US Open, Kyrgios received a warning from the chair umpire for offensive language. On that occasion, the Australian got upset because he smelled marijuana coming from the audience.

'It was f***ing marajiuana. It was smoke. Obviously I'm not going to complain about food,” he said.

The injury that kept him out of Wimbledon is in the final stage of recovery, which prevented him from participating in this week's Ultimate Tennis Showdown (UTS). However, he was present coaching Frances Tiafoe. After announcing that he wouldn't be at SW19, Kyrgios had commented .

“I tried everything to be able to play and I am disappointed to say that I just didn’t have enough time to manage it before Wimbledon. I’ll be back, and as always, I appreciate the support from all my fans,” he said on a letter before Wimbledon.

Kyrgios' comeback could be seen soon, as he is registered to play in the ATP 500 Washington Open starting on July 31st, a tournament he won in 2022, and which will serve as preparation for the Canadian Open.
