Bandai Namco Entertainment has announced that boxing legend, Mike Tyson will head the Tekken 8 “The Art of Fighting” panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2023. Along with Mike Tyson, MMA’s only Grand Slam Champion, Cris Cyborg, and WWE superstar Xavier Woods (Austin Creed) will also be present at the panel.
Tekken 8’s The Art of Fighting panel is scheduled to take place on Friday, July 21 at the San Diego Convention Center (Room 6BCF). Panelists will share personal stories from their professional careers and look at what led every one of them to embrace the art of fighting. They will be sharing their personal experience with fight culture in games and entertainment as well.
The panelists along with Tekken director Harada and producer Murray, and with shout caster Goldenboy guiding the conversation, will lead to unforgettable fight stories and unmissable moments. Bandai Namco promises to feature an immersive Tekken 8 installation during SDCC 2023 with artwork, DJ, cosplayers, temporary tattoos, playable stations, and more.
