A fan @Karceno took to Twitter to ask Williams if she attended boxing matches.
Williams responded by saying that she does not attend boxing matches. Talking about the sport, she further added, “Its weird watching people fight beat up each other and I’m cheering.”

Tyson shared a post of the duo training together at The Boca Raton resort in Florida. He was also careful to mention his training partner’s physical prowess, saying, “She has some power.”
The clip shows Tyson initially teaching Williams the correct form and also instructing her on a few basic punches. Tyson then proceeds to hold the punching bag while Williams unleashes a merciless barrage of 77 punches before stopping.
‘Iron’ Mike Tyson was all praise for his eminent training partner. He took to Twitter to address his admiration, saying, “Wouldn’t want to get in the ring with this GOAT.”
Williams was not the only Tennis player who trained in boxing.
