Tyson will be 58 years old when he fights Paul this summer, but people on social media say 'Iron Mike' shouldn't be messed with despite his age.
Jake Paul has been warned that Mike Tyson could “severely hurt” him in a boxing fight.
“Iron Mike” will return to the ring on July 20th when he takes on YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul at the 80,000-seat Dallas Cowboys Stadium. Despite the 31-year age gap between Tyson and Paul, the controversial bout will be sanctioned as a professional bout by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
Paul has faced heavy criticism for agreeing to fight Tyson, who has required a wheelchair and cane to support him in recent years. British boxing legend Amir Khan believes Tyson, who will be 58 on fight night, could still knock out Paul despite not having competed professionally since 2005. There is.
“No one expected a match like that to take place,” Khan told Gambling Zone. “Mike Tyson is a legend in the game and someone you don't want to get too involved with. He's older now and has been retired for a long time, but he's obviously done some exhibitions. .
I can't believe what Jake Paul thinks. I think he could get hurt badly because he's fighting a great heavyweight. Is it just hype that Mike and Jake posted at the same time? This is unrealistic and I hope Mike doesn't end up hurting him. At the end of the day, I like Jake, but Mike is not someone I want to mess with or put on an exhibition.
“Especially when I'm so much smaller and lighter. I don't know how this fight is going to go. Is it really going to happen? It's surprising and shocking me. I beat Mike Tyson by knockout.” 50 Even in his teens, he's still a dangerous man that you shouldn't touch.”
Tyson and Paul will wear 14-ounce gloves and no headgear for the bout, which will last eight two-minute rounds. Paul will be looking to improve his professional record to 10-1 with a win over Tyson, who lost to journeyman Kevin McBride and finished his professional career at 50-6, 2 NC.
