VICE TV’s Second Episode of ‘The Verdict’ Premieres on March 31 Featuring Muhammad Ali vs Mike Tyson

On Tuesday, March 31 (9 p.m ET/6 p.m PT), the second episode of Christopher ‘Mad Dog’ Russo’s show The Verdict premieres on Vice TV. This particular episode is titled Muhammad Ali vs. Mike Tyson, as Russo is joined by a star-studded group, from journalists to a Hall of Fame Promoter.

The show itself is based on debating mythical matchups and controversial topics that are discussed in most social media circles. The Ali-Tyson episode is interesting and will make me tune in just to see where this conversation goes among the group debating it.

For those unfamiliar with ‘Mad Dog’ Russo, here is a little background.

“Christopher “Mad Dog” Russo has been one of the most influential figures in sports talk radio over the course of his legendary 40-year career. A member of the Radio Hall of Fame, he’s widely recognized for his role in popularizing the format. Russo is currently a weekly guest on ESPN’s First Take where his segments “What Are You Mad About” and “Mad Dog’s A-List” regularly drive hundreds of thousands of views on social media. He also headlines SIRIUSXM’s exclusive all-sports talk channel Mad Dog Sports Radio as host of “Mad Dog Unleashed” on weekday afternoons.”
