Carl Froch accuses jake paul and mike tyson About “disrespecting” boxing by agreeing to the fight and hoping Tyson “sees reason” before doing so.
Paul and Tyson, 57, who seem to attract endless attention, have agreed to terms to fight on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, but will they fight in an exhibition or in a sanctioned professional boxing event? It is still unclear whether he will compete in the match.
Paul, 27, fought and won against Ryan Borland in Puerto Rico in early March. Tyson retired from professional prizefighting in 2005 after consecutive losses, but his unpleasant exhibition against then-51-year-old Roy Jones Jr. in November 2020 was, in many ways, the world's first fight against the coronavirus pandemic. It showed how much he was struggling to adapt.
Mr. Froch retired in 2014 at the age of 36 in good health, and his dedication and professionalism played a major role in shaping his post-retirement life.
On Monday, he was the guest of honor at a luncheon hosted by the Boxing Press Club in central London to celebrate his Hall of Fame career, but underscoring how mismatched Friday's fight was, he said: anthony joshua and Francis Ngannouhe instead revealed that it was Paul and Tyson's future that represented his biggest concern.
“That clown, damn Jake Paul is fighting Mike Tyson,” he said. “I'm going to go by myself. [Froch On Fighting YouTube] Channel and absolutely slam Jake Paul right away. I've done it several times. I'll really punch him. I'll also give Mike Tyson a little shout-out.
“He's such a big name that he's always been able to make money on his own, Mike Tyson – he doesn't have to jump on Jake Paul. And even if he was going to lose, he's actually 25, If he gets hit by someone who's 26 years old, he's going to lose the fight, he's almost 60 years old.
“It's very disrespectful to our sport to put someone like Mike Tyson, who is an icon in this sport, in the same category as a performance clown who can't fight like Jake Paul. It turns out you can't fight Fury newbies. They have kids that follow them, so they come and make their fortunes. This demographic following Jake Paul is not realistic. They You can make money with it, but fighting Mike Tyson is disrespectful. It's a disgrace. I'm going to correct him – I say it. It's wrong.
“I hope Mike Tyson sees sense. He's very articulate sometimes, he gives good interviews, he expresses himself well, but at nearly 60 years old, he doesn't think like that. You don't want to get in the ring with a bunch of 20-somethings.”
There had previously been speculation about a fight between Paul and Froch, but recently John, the father of another prolific up-and-comer, Tyson Fury, has announced the possibility of a fight with the retired super middleweight. We were talking about sex.
“I'm not going to step into the ring with John Fury,” he continued. “I wouldn't do that. I would do it for charity, make sure I'm wearing 18-ounce gloves, and maybe just give him an arm punch — if that's what he really wants. Once you get to the point, and you can raise money for charity. It would be nice to give something like that back, but he's not serious. He's just a schmuck, isn't he? John Fury? I feel a little disappointed.
“This crossover fight, this YouTube fight is ridiculous, but this is not pro boxing. I keep saying it. It should be called 'martial arts' instead of 'pro boxing.'for them to give [Francis] After the Fury fight, Ngannou moved into the top 10 in the world rankings – which was pathetic.
“'AJ' did to Ngannou what you would expect to happen to an opponent fighting for the second time professionally. He was with a former two-time champion and Olympic gold medalist. He just reprimanded him. He stood there and threw two or three lazy left jabs, and AJ must have thought, “What's going on?” Could you have taken a free hit here? ”
“Boom. He hit him with all his might, and he landed – of course he landed.
“Purists who know this sport don’t take it seriously.”
