Tony Bellew
“I'm personally concerned about that, but listen, I don't know what was agreed upon between the two of them. It would be terrifying for Mike Tyson to return to the boxing ring against an opponent more than 30 years younger than him. That's a little strange. I'm hoping this fight will be a little circus-like and a little scripted because I don't want to see Mike get hurt in any way. ”

he [Tyson] I'm older now. I hope he comes out healthy. I think it's Jake Paul [wins] Because of my youth -That's all.Personally I think [influencer boxing] Really good. I think boxing die-hards don't like it because they think, “Why are they disrespecting our sport?”but I think he brought so many people into boxing that it would benefit others as well.. It helps everyone watching. ”
Tyson Fury
“I think it's great for boxing. Mike Tyson is a legend. There are boxers on YouTube.He came into the game and blew it up. And he has millions of followers, millions of views, and millions of eyes. Good, bad, or indifferent. Some love him, some hate him. So, I think it's a really great sight for boxing. It brings a lot of people to the game. Listen, who am I to say, “Oh, Mike Tyson shouldn't box, or Jake Paul shouldn't box,'' good luck to them. They're both going to make what I call a ton of money with it. So, isn't that what it's about? ”
