YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, 27, is set to take on legendary heavyweight Mike Tyson, 57, in July and Tyson's former opponent Lennox Lewis has no doubt who will win
Jake Paul does not have the defensive skills to deal with Mike Tyson , despite his opponent being 30 years older than him, according to Lennox Lewis.
Tyson retired from professional boxing in 2005 but did step back into the ring for an exhibition against Roy Jones Jr in November 2020. Nevertheless, Lewis fought and beat Tyson in 2002 and believes his vast amount of experience and nous inside the ring will trump Paul’s youth. “Tyson comes forward and he knows how to cut off the ring. It could be a matter of time, as how good is Jake Paul’s defence? I saw Mike a couple of weeks ago and he looked good. He was walking around without a shirt and showing off his body so he’s getting ready.”
Lewis has a very different opinion to Deontay Wilder, who has warned that Tyson could be left in a coma by the younger man. "I think it's bad the commission has licensed Mike Tyson because he hasn't been active in 20 years, so they should not just licence him because of who he is, that's how people get hurt, god forbid he gets hurt," he told Sportsbook Review.
