He beat former NBA star Nate Robinson in the second fight of his professional career.
The 27-year-old referenced his crazy journey in the sport in a press release.
"It's crazy to think that in my second pro fight I went viral for knocking out Nate Robinson on Mike Tyson's undercard," he said in a statement.
"Now, less than four years later, I'm stepping up to face Tyson myself to see if I have what it takes to beat one of boxing's most notorious fighters and biggest icons. Within just two and a half years of founding MVP, we're about to produce the biggest fight in history, a fight in the biggest NFL stadium in the US, broadcast live, on the biggest streaming platform in the world - a testament to all we've accomplished in such a short amount of time."
