Paul and Tyson will face off in the ring this summer in one of the biggest fights of the year, but legendary boxing trainer Teddy Atlas has questioned whether the ending has already been agreed.
Boxing legend Teddy Atlas has questioned whether Jake Paul and Mike Tyson have “agreed” on the outcome of their fight.
Paul, a social media sensation, will face former heavyweight world champion Tyson on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Many details of the fight, including number of rounds and weight, are unknown at this time, but Paul and Tyson will not be wearing headgear.
Paul has previously spoken out against the grounds that his fights are being “fixed,” such as when a fan claimed that his punch that dropped UFC legend Anderson Silva in an October 2022 fight didn't actually land. He has denied any false conspiracy theories. Atlas also shut down talk of Paul's fight being scripted, although he did admit he had concerns about facing Tyson.

“Unless this is a contract with WWE, which I don't know if it is, but I think all these matches are legitimate, so I've never said that before, and in fact “That was the case before. But this game makes me question it,” Atlas said. his his youtube channel. “I don't doubt Paul's integrity. In fact, I like his integrity. I like what I see in the guy.
“What I'm saying is that if there was ever a time for me to question it, now would be the time. Unless Paul is that confident, Tyson is too old now. But I don't think he's that good, because that's what Paul's been doing all along.'' Tyson leads with a left hook, but maybe Paul thinks he can hit Tyson with a right hand, to me. I don't know.
“All I know is that this is the first time I've said, 'Is there an agreement? Because if there isn't, Paul might be making a mistake.' I'm surprised he's taking such a risk. Power: “Even as he gets older, he doesn't lose his charm. He still has speed in his combinations. He still has that style.''
There's a huge 30-year age difference between “Iron Mike” and Paul, meaning he'll be 58 by the time he steps into the ring. Tyson last fought fellow legend Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition in November 2020, and Paul also competed in that event, knocking out NBA star Nate Robinson in his second professional fight.
