Jake Paul admitted after his win over Mike Tyson on Friday night that he held back after he saw the legendary boxer slow down in the third round of their bout.
Jake Paul admitted after his victory over Mike Tyson on Friday night that he held back during his fight against the boxing legend because he didn’t want to 'hurt' him. Tyson, 58, gave boxing fans every hope that he might still have some gas left in the tank during the first two rounds of the eight-round bout, but that hope quickly faded by the third as Tyson began to slow down. When asked if he took his 'foot off the gas' at that point, Paul confirmed that he did.
' 'I tried to give the best fight I possibly could, but when someone’s just surviving in the ring basically, it’s hard to make it exciting. I couldn’t really get him to engage me.' JAKE PAUL-MIKE TYSON SNOOZER DRAWS HARSH CRITICISM: 'NOT GREAT FOR BOXING' During his post fight interview, Tyson said returning for his first professional bout in nearly two decades wasn’t an attempt to prove anything to anyone. It was for him alone.
