The league is supported by the All India Mixed Martial Arts Federation. Interestingly, this is the first time where an MMA competition will be contested by teams representing their countries, with India going against UAE in the first 1 bout. In another first in combat sports, the league will have live scoring.
Apart from that, Salman Khan’s bodyguard Shera has also joined the boxer to give him security. Just like Justin Bieber, Will Smith, Paris Hilton, Michael Jackson and Jackie Chan, Tyson has also chosen Shera as his bodyguard. As per report of Mumbai Mirror, Shera was quoted saying. “This is Mike Tyson’s first trip to India and we are going to make sure he is comfortable. I’m personally taking care of him and will be stationed at his hotel in suburban Mumbai through the duration of his stay. We have done a recce of all the places he will be travelling too, including a mall, the location of his dinner with a select group and the after party.”
Shera also stated that he has taken permission from Salman to give Tyson a security. He further stated, “I took his permission before taking this responsibility. I work exclusively for him and Bhai is always my first priority. I spoke to him and he gave me a go-ahead as he isn’t shooting for a film then and will be busy with his (reality show) Bigg Boss so it is manageable.”
