Published: Nov. 15, 2024 at 3:35 PM ESTCLEVELAND, Ohio - Westlake native Jake Paul takes on Mike Tyson Friday night in the biggest boxing match in years. Mike Tyson is a boxer no one wanted to get into the ring with.Can the YouTube star hang with the former heavyweight champion of the world?Kim Keesler, the operations manager at UFC Gym in Middleburg Heights, says regardless of where you stand on Friday’s fight it’s still created a buzz around town.
”I think it’s very possible that we could see him excel very well. Training has come a long way since Mike Tyson started. Some people are like, ‘Eh whatever.’ But then there are definitely a lot of people who have been talking about it as they’ve been coming in,” said Keesler. Even though there is a huge age difference — Paul is 27 years old an Tyson is 58 years old — some boxing fans think Paul doesn’t stand a chance, despite his 10-1 record in the ring.
”You have the season veteran Mike Tyson, and then you have the young, ambitious Jake Paul. Both of them are going to bring both totally different fighting styles to the fight,” said Keesler.Copyright 2024 WOIO. All rights reserved.
