Though, the interaction was supposed to be on his preparation ahead of the world boxing championship starting in Khazakistan next week, but the boxing great chose to talk about Sachin instead.
From the little known facts to the mighty batting record, all you need to know about India's biggest sports icon.
Bye Sachin, let's hope all the talent that's been waiting to occupy the 4th slot in the Indian Test squad do justice to their selection.
I am one of those millions of Indians who have never been fond of watching cricket ball by ball. But for a few nail-biting cliffhangers, the fun for us ended the moment the batting maestro got out. We all grew up with Tendulkar as a cherished part of our lives, hope and pride.
The argument on who is the best batsman in the world has a few constants in the list, but none like Sachin; revered and admired by rivals and fans alike.
He isn't a man prone to flashy clothes, temper tantrums, adoring posses or controversial statements. Here is a look at some of the Master Blaster's words to remember.
"I have been living this dream every day for the last 24 years. It's hard for me to imagine a life without playing cricket because it's all I have ever done since I was 11 years old," said Sachin while announcing his retirement.
Team India achieved the mammoth total of 201 runs at the loss of four wickets against Australia at the Saurashtra Cricket Association stadium in Rajkot.
