RTF Aims to Revolutionize the Boxing Ecosystem
Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson has joined the Web3 social networking platform Ready to Fight (RTF) as an ambassador. Tyson, a legendary boxer who became an undisputed heavyweight at age 20, is said to bring credibility to RTF, which is aiming to “revolutionize the boxing ecosystem.”
The Web3 social network app, which Ukrainian professional boxer Oleksandr Usyk leads, is described as an application that assists professional boxers worldwide in overcoming common challenges. The app’s backers argue that it can potentially alleviate some of the challenges faced by boxers, such as finding a sparring partner, a manager, or building a boxing team.
Simplifying Monetization for the Boxing Community
In an announcement shared on Instagram, Tyson explained why he has teamed up with RTF and what boxers and fans should expect in return for joining. He said:
Ready to Fight is the first boxing social network that helps boxers and the boxing community with all their business and needs. Boxers can easily build their training teams and this network is good for boxing business and fans as well.
Tyson claimed that the network puts users directly in charge of everything boxing-related which in turn makes it easier for the boxing community to monetize.
According to a statement from RTF, Tyson joined the network just as it prepares to list the RTF token on four undisclosed cryptocurrency exchanges on April 24. In addition to Tyson and Usyk, the Web3 network is also supported by World Boxing Council (WBC) President Mauricio Sulaiman. Equipment expert Russ Anber and rising talent Sky Wee have likewise endorsed RTF.
