"Perfect chaos": Kyrgios meets with Mike Tyson while in Los Angeles for UTS teasing upcoming project between two sporting enigmas
ATP
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.
“Perfect chaos. Something big coming," he wrote.
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.

- Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
