Mike Tyson will attempt to beat a man more than 30 years younger than him when he faces Jake Paul but is confident about getting the job done as he talked himself up
Mike Tyson has laughed off the 31-year age gap between him and Jake Paul ahead of their rescheduled bout.
There has been plenty of criticism over the decision to put the two men in the ring given their age gap. The last time Tyson boxed professionally was in 2005, when he lost to Kevin McBride. His last entry into a boxing ring was against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020 when their exhibition ended in a draw. The heavyweight icon said: “He’s supposed to be the young guy, I’m supposed to be the old man, he’s going to run all…night? I think he should try it. He’s a younger man, he should be able to handle punches from an old withering man like me. Listen, you can’t compare me with other people my age because other people my age haven’t been training as long, consistently as me.
Paul has stopped his last three opponents with victories against Andre August, Ryan Bourland and Mike Perry. Throughout his time in boxing, the American has had to deal with comments regarding his career change and constant references to his previous endeavours.
