By Mohamed Bahaa Boxing great Mike Tyson will be back on the ring to square off against YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in much awaited showdown later this year
Boxing great Mike Tyson will be back on the ring to square off against YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in much awaited showdown later this year. Originally scheduled for July 20, the fight was postponed owing to an ulcer flare-up suffered by Tyson, 58-year-old legendary boxer; fans will now have to wait until November 15 to watch these two square the ring at the AT&T Arena in Texas.
Lewis expressed his opinions on the bout in an interview with FOX29, characterizing it more as an exhibition than a major competition. He observed the rising tendency of so-called "YouTube fights," whereby social media celebrities enter the boxing scene. “That’s what I call them – exhibitions. YouTube fights.
Lewis knew Tyson's legendary power would be too much for Paul to handle when asked to forecast the fight's result. Lewis said, "Mike Tyson’s gonna win," Lewis declared, citing Tyson's ability to deliver devastating combinations that could easily overwhelm an inexperienced fighter like Paul. "If they get close and Mike Tyson comes with his ten-second combination, if one of those punches catches he’s definitely gonna go down.
