Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson early preview & prediction
Our hearts of course want to see Tyson knockout out Paul and send him into retirement but that's probably not going to happen.
Paul is young, and he's been training and fighting for years now. He's got skills. But it's that age factor that will really be key here. Tyson is 57 years old, that's 30 years older than Paul who turned 27 in January. The age difference is wild.
We don't know the ruleset yet, and that could change things slightly, but probably won't affect the outcome all that much.
Jake Paul and Mike Tyson make their predictions
Both fighters have weighed in and given their predictions for the fight.
Paul tweeted, "My sights are set on becoming a world champion, and now I have a chance to prove myself against the greatest heavyweight champion of the world, the baddest man on the planet and the most dangerous boxer of all time. Time to put Iron Mike to sleep.”
Tyson also revealed his prediction for the match-up with Paul.
“I'm very much looking forward to stepping into the ring with Jake Paul at the AT&T Stadium,” he said. “He's grown significantly as a boxer over the years, so it will be a lot of fun to see what the will and ambition of a ‘kid’ can do with the experience and aptitude of a GOAT. It's a full circle moment that will be beyond thrilling to watch; as I started him on his boxing journey on the undercard of my fight with Roy Jones and now I plan to finish him.”
The fight takes place on July 20 in Texas. It will stream live on Netflix.
Is Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson real? Twitter doesn't think so
Both Jake Paul and Mike Tyson have confirmed they've signed a contract to fight each other
MMA Twitter has never been kind to Jake Paul and many are now doubting the legitimacy of the influencer's recent fight announcement.
Just five days after knocking out Ryan Bourland to pick up his ninth professional win, Paul dropped a bombshell on Twitter by announcing his upcoming fight would be the first boxing fight live streamed on Netflix against former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. The bout will reportedly take place in Arlington, Texas in the AT&T Stadium, the home of the Dallas Cowboys, on July 20.
While Paul and the Most Valuable Promotions initially broke the news, the announcement was simultaneously posted on Tyson's social media accounts as well. All three accounts — along with the official Netflix Instagram and Twitter accounts — also released an official trailer promo video featuring a face-off between the two boxers, showing evidence that the fight had been in the works for some time.
As the promotion expected, the news shocked the general public in the morning hours of March 7 in the continental United States. However, many doubted the legitimacy of the announcement due to the vast difference in age and size between Paul and Tyson.
