JAMES “THE BEAST” WILSON: THE BEAST IS READY TO BE RELEASED

JAMES “THE BEAST” WILSON: THE BEAST IS READY TO BE RELEASED

Posted by | Dec 23, 2019 | , , , , ,

James “The Beast” Wilson – In this day and age of heavyweight boxing, most fighters, if not all, are extremely tall, fighting at heights 6’6, 6’7, and beyond.

Standing at (6’0) and weighing in anywhere between 245lbs to 250lbs, Wilson would appear to be the prototypical size fighter for the division, during 80’s and 90’s.

One man in particular has paid attention of what Wilson brings inside the ring and that man is none other than former UNDISPUTED HEAVYWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION IRON MIKE TYSON.

Due to his size and resemblance, Wilson has often been compared to one of the greatest heavyweight boxers in the history of the sport.
