Mike Tyson Doesn't Expect Sexism In Sports To Change Anytime Soon

Mike Tyson doesn't think sexism in sports will disappear anytime soon.

During a HuffPost Live conversation on Monday about his show "Mike Tyson Mysteries," the former heavyweight champion said he was sure that UFC fighter Ronda Rousey could one day reach "God-status level," but sexism will be a mainstay in sports for quite a while longer.

"We've made tremendous leaps and bounds, but the country we live in is fanatically sexist and racist," he said. "[Equality is] not gonna happen in our generation or our kids' generation, but it can happen. We see how far we came so far. It can happen."
