Only if there was a specific way to defeat Mike Tyson, many of his vanquished opponents could have stood a chance. Lucky for Jake Paul, who will fight Tyson on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, Roy Jones Jr. has got his back. Having faced Tyson back in 2020 in an exhibition bout, ‘Captain Hook’ has firsthand experience of being on the wrong end of Tyson’s punches.

So, while appearing in an interview with Shane Mosley, who has trained Jake Paul for the AnEsonGib fight, Jones Jr. revealed the only way Jake Paul could win. Quick note: Mosley recently revealed ‘The Problem Child’ has bulked up, weighing in at 230-pounds, compared to Tyson’s 220-pounds in the last fight. Despite that, the weight is not the only difference maker, according to Jones.

Speaking to Jones, Mosley quickly asked for Jones’ prediction for the fight. In response, the former world champion said, “[I will tell you] what happens [if] they fight a real fight? And [if] Mike is in shape like he got in shape for me, [it’s] gonna be very problematic for Jake Paul.” However, Jones believes the opposite could also happen, especially since Paul is 230-pounds.

Considering the possibility that Tyson doesn’t show up in shape, Jones said, “[If] Jake’s 230 and Jake knows how to push him back and not get caught, those big shots early Jake can win the fight.” At the same time, Jones suggested everything depends upon how Tyson is preparing for the fight.

Revealing, “I don’t really know what’s happening. I’ve seen small clips of Mike,” but if Tyson is sparring and is busy getting in shape, Paul might not have a good time because per Jones’ experience fighting Tyson, “He’s very hard to hit,” said Jones. While Jones has etched the things Paul needs to do to win, Mike Tyson had predicted the outcome long before signing the deal.

Tyson predicted a win against Jake Paul two years ago!

According to an 8 March 2024 report from Ben Davies of talkSport, Tyson didn’t just see the fight against Paul coming, he was confident about winning it. “It will be so f***ing easy,” Tyson had said when asked about a potential showdown with Paul two years before. It’s also worth mentioning that Tyson has spoken highly about Paul’s rise in the sport and his skills.

However, “[Jake’s] punches you can see coming a mile away, you can see that coming a mile away. I’m 55, I can see that coming a mile away,” Tyson added. He even suggested that he would beat “these f***ers [Jake and Logan Paul]” with ease, and there wouldn’t be any need for boxing. The only thing Tyson said he would need is 30 straight days of training, and with that, he wouldn’t even have to focus on his diet.

Even though Jake Paul has climbed up to 230-pounds, Roy Jones Jr. believes it would take more to beat Mike Tyson in a fight. However, there will be a 30-year age difference when the fight does happen, so everyone will have to wait to see whether Jones’ prediction holds ground. Do you think Paul can beat Tyson?

Jake Paul will be fighting Mike Tyson on July 20.

A former opponent of Mike Tyson’s has sent a warning to Jake Paul about what to avoid during the fight.

On July 20, Tyson will come out of retirement and take on Paul at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The fight is set to be streamed on the popular platform, Netflix, who wrote on social media: “It’s JAKE PAUL vs. MIKE TYSON — yes, really! — in a LIVE BOXING event at AT&T Stadium you won’t want to miss. Airing live on Netflix Saturday, July 20 #PaulTyson.”

Earlier in the month, Tyson confirmed the rules for his much-anticipated bout against YouTuber turned-boxer Paul.

Recently, one of Tyson’s former opponents, Roy Jones Jr has sent Paul a warning about facing the boxing legend.

He told Shane Mosley: “If they fight a real fight and Mike is in shape, it’s going to be real problematic for Jake. If he’s not in shape and Jake doesn’t get caught with big shots early then he will win.

“Jake is not going to fight in close and Jake can’t stay away from him because Mike is going to close the gap real quick. I thought I could stay away from him and I couldn’t stay away from him, I know that I’m better at staying away from people than Jake is. That’s why Jake put the weight on.”

Jones added: “He knows he isn’t going to be able to stay away from him, he is hoping that a bit of muscle will push him backwards and keep him off him. [Mike] is getting big enough to try and tie him up when he gets close and push him back right away. Jake doesn’t fight as well as going backwards as he does coming forward.

“I just saw Jake yesterday, he’s 230 pounds. He’s big, really big. He said that he feels as fast as he was at 185lbs and he’s still young. He looked like he was comfortable in the weight, so I know that Mike Tyson has to fight in close. He likes to bob and weave and get close.”

Jake Paul has been warned that he will likely be unable to take Mike Tyson’s power.

The YouTube star is set to meet heavyweight legend ‘Iron Mike’ in a showdown on July 20, with the former undisputed world champion known for his ferocious power throughout his hugely fruitful career.

Despite now being 57, Tyson has shown off the natural power he still possesses in short training clips, which have left some fans urging Paul to call off the clash.

And Roy Jones Jr, who was Tyson’s most recent opponent in an exhibition in 2020, has claimed it felt like a mule was crushing his chest when his rival landed body work.

He said to boxing legend Shane Mosley: “Mike Tyson is still the strongest puncher that I’ve ever been in the ring with.

“The first time he hit me in the chest, it felt like a mule had kicked me in the chest.

“And if he hits anybody with a shot like that, they are either going out or down, especially guys who are not used to being hit like that.

“With these types of people like Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis, these guys are bigger and can take it.

“But Jake Paul, I don’t think he’s going to be able to take that.

“It might hit him on the chin like that, we’ll see, but it’s going to be tough [for him].”Jones Jr shared the ring with some fearsome fighters in their primes including Bernard Hopkins and James Toney, but named Tyson as the hardest hitter despite being years from his prime.

His and Tyson’s relaxed encounter ended in a draw given the rules, but it was widely acknowledged that Tyson looked the better of the two.

Despite being far from his prime, Paul has suggested he is fearful of stepping in the ring with Tyson when reacting to his training footage.

Tyson has been crushing the pads with trainer Rafael Cordeiro, and fans have warned Paul to back out given the thunderous sound of the punches.

The former heavyweight carried an 88 per cent KO ratio in his professional career, with 44 of his 50 wins coming inside the distance.

Paul will likely need to weather the early storm to have the best route to victory, although it is expected the fight will be under exhibition rules according to Tyson.

Boxing and social media star Jake Paul admits he’s nervous about facing legend Mike Tyson in the ring after watching his epic training footage.

Tyson will take on Paul on the 20th of July at the 80,000-capacity AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The bout will be screened on Netflix, making it the platform’s first move into live boxing.

The co-main event will see Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano go head-to-head. The Irish star famously beat the Puerto Rican two years ago in New York in what was one of the biggest fights ever in women’s boxing.

Tyson impressed fans at a recent meet-and-greet in Virginia after showing off his six-pack and impressive physique. Ever since the confirmation of the fight, the former professional boxer has uploaded several clips of him training ahead of his showdown with the YouTuber.

The 57-year-old hasn’t fought a professional fight since 2005, but did fight Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition match in 2020, which went down as a draw.

Leading up to the fight, Tyson is clearly leaving no stone unturned. ‘Iron Mike’ will have celebrated his 58th birthday by the time he squares off with Paul.

That said, when looking at his recent training footage, you’d think that he’s still in his prime, as the American looks fast, powerful and explosive.

Paul, 27, admits the clips have made him a little nervous. During a conversation on the BS/w Jake Paul Podcast, ‘The Problem Child’s’ brother Logan Paul asked: “When you see Mike Tyson hitting those pads, do you get a little nervous?”

He replied: “Yeah. It’s motivating, I think it is good to carry fear into the ring and with you on a daily basis when you’re training because it makes you better.”

That said, the YouTuber-turned-boxer then delivered a warning to his future opponent just three months before they’re set to square off in the ring.

Despite Tyson recently confirming that the fight will be an exhibition, the former heavyweight champion has since voiced his fears over fighting ‘The Problem Child.’

“Right now I’m scared to death,” Tyson commented to Fox News on the subject of going into the ring with Paul. However, the heavyweight boxing legend was quick to dispel any belief that this fear was abnormal for him prior to stepping into the ring, going on to deliver ‘the coldest message’ to his upcoming opponent.

He added: “I was afraid of the Roy [Jones] fight. I was 100 pounds overweight. I was, however old, 54, 53, and I said, ‘Let’s do it.’ I always believed that adversity and nervousness pretty much catapulted me into success. If I didn’t have these feelings, I wouldn’t go into this fight. I have to have these feelings to fight. Without them, I would never go in the ring. As the fight gets closer, the less nervous I become because it’s reality, and in reality, I’m invincible.”

Mike Tyson is gearing up for his upcoming bout with Jake Paul. The 57-year-old boxing legend took to social media on Monday to share a training video, showcasing his speed and athleticism as he prepares to face Paul this summer.

The highly anticipated showdown between Tyson and Paul is scheduled for July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and will be broadcast live on Netflix.

While Tyson may have lost a step or two since his retirement, he appears to be in excellent shape and ready to pose a significant challenge to the 27-year-old Paul. Tyson’s last fight was in 2020 when he faced Roy Jones Jr., resulting in a draw.

Paul has had a promising start to his boxing career, amassing a 9-1 record with six knockouts since he began boxing in 2020. His only loss came against Tommy Fury last February.

However, Paul has since bounced back, winning three consecutive fights, with his latest victory coming against Ryan Bourland in March. Despite his recent successes, Paul understands that facing Tyson will be his toughest challenge yet.

“My sights are set on becoming a world champion, and now I have a chance to prove myself against the greatest heavyweight champion of the world, the baddest man on the planet and the most dangerous boxer of all time,” Paul said in March.

Heavyweight legend Tyson will take on YouTuber Paul in Texas this summer in a controversial fight which has split opinion

Mike Tyson has been backed to beat Jake Paul by Ryan Garcia – despite the boxer having been a champion of the YouTuber in the past.

Heavyweight legend Tyson will take on social media star Paul in Texas this summer despite having not fought professionally for almost 20 years. His last outing in the ring was a bore draw in an exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr in 2020.

But Tyson, who will be 58 on fight night, has received support from Garcia who was an early backer of Paul who burst on to the boxing scene having made his name from viral videos.

Garcia, who shocked Devin Haney in New York last weekend, said: “I love you, Mike. You look good. I’m going to your fight, I’ll be there. I’m with you in everything, remember that, always in spirit. I got you. Love you, Mike.”

Paul and Garcia met while they lived in Los Angeles with the latter introducing his new friend to boxing. But after Paul knocked out Ryan Bourland in the first round of his last fight earlier this year, Garcia admitted he regretted their allegiance.

He said:”Okay enough, it’s on. I’m going to have to do this! I’m going to end this JAKE PAUL BOXING THING. BRING IT ON JAKE IM DEAD F****** SERIOUS F*** YOU! HIT MY TEAM UP.”

“I can’t do this s***. I feel so f****** bad for introducing Jake Paul to boxing. I f***** up. I can’t allow this to happen. I can’t. I can’t. He’s disrespecting my sport. He’s disrespecting everything. I just, I don’t know — call my team, Jake. F*** you.”

Paul didn’t hold back in his response, saying: “You seem like you’re losing your mind and acting thirsty and desperate. You’re saying you’re a billionaire when you’ve had one money fight. If you do want to fight, to me, that’s light work. You got no footwork and as long as you’ve been in the game, I’m a better boxer than you.”

Although the former heavyweight champion’s economy will receive a huge boost for his fight in July, ‘Iron Mike’ is securing another success outside the ring.

Mike Tyson didn’t succeed in managing his fortune properly when he was a boxing superstar, but things seem to have changed a lot since then. Tyson’s fame has helped him to overcome his financial issues through exhibition fights, appearances on TV shows and movies, and his Hotboxin with Mike Tyson podcast. And now he will have the chance to make lots of money by taking on Jake Paul in an exhibition boxing fight in July.

But his best punch comes from cannabis. TYSON 2.0, the premium cannabis brand of the boxing living legend, and Carma HoldCo Inc, the parent company that operates it, made a big step toward expanding from North America to Europe. They teamed up with the multinational pharmaceutical company PHCANN to exclusively cultivate, manufacture, and distribute TYSON 2.0 products across Germany and the UK.

“Collaborating with PHCANN to bring my premium TYSON 2.0 cannabis products to Germany and the UK is a natural move as industry heavyweights,” said Tyson, co-founder, and chief brand officer of TYSON 2.0.

“I’m excited to make our world-class products available to medical cannabis patients in the region. Together, we’re setting new standards and delivering something that no one else is bringing to the table”, he added.

PHCANN International CEO Sasho Stefanoski said the partnership is a key move for the cannabis industry in Europe:

“We embrace this opportunity as many countries look toward regulatory changes. To partner with the TYSON 2.0 brand and join forces as well-respected industry leaders put us in a position where we can lead the charge in pushing industry boundaries.

Meanwhile, the PHCANN International Co-Founder Yuval Soiref expressed that “TYSON 2.0′s extensive selection of acclaimed cannabis products, will be available to German and UK patients this summer – on track to make it one of the largest cannabis brands in the world”.

The partnership takes place a few weeks after Tyson and the former wrestling legend Ric Flair teamed up with Elevated Labs in New Mexico through Carma HoldCo, a big move growth strategy in North America.

The Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight just got bigger. Not to be outdone by his brother, Logan Paul, announcing a new baby, Jake rolled out a stroller of his own to help him reveal a huge announcement that fans have been dying to see.

The news of the co-main event is sure to bring even more eyes to the blockbuster Netflix special on July 20th at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas.

The Paul-Tyson fight is already expected to be a groundbreaking event. It is Netflix’s first live sporting event, and it will be aired globally on the platform to subscribers with no added pay-per-view cost.

Despite officially being an exhibition fight, it has potential to be one of the most viewed fights of all time. Tyson’s legendary heavyweight career combined with Paul’s marketing mastery, played out with the backdrop of Cowboys Stadium on the world’s biggest streaming platform is a perfect storm.

And that’s before you get to the first fight to be added to their card, which will be a rematch of the biggest fight in women’s boxing history.

Mike Tyson has been incorporating sprint training into his preparations for the Jake Paul fight.

The boxing legend uploaded a video to social media of him running a 30-yard dash ahead of his upcoming clash with the Problem Child on July 20.

For a middle-aged man, he certainly looked impressive, but supporters have been left divided.

One fan posted on X: “He looks old.”

Another added: “Looking terrible Mike.”

Meanwhile, a third had a differing opinion, stating: “Mike Tyson looks better than 90 per cent of male people and he is almost 60 years old. Amazing.”

When Tyson and Paul square off in the summer it will be a battle of age versus experience.

Paul is 30 years ‘Iron Mike’s’ junior at 27 but has nowhere as many fights under his belt.

The ex-Disney star has fought ten times (9-1) in the paid ranks since turning professional in 2020.

By contrast, Tyson has competed in 58 professional boxing bouts (50-6-2).

However, the last time we saw him compete in a pro bout he looked a shadow of his former self as he retired on his stool against Kevin McBride at the end of the sixth round.

That was 19 years ago when Tyson was 38.

Since then, he has returned to the ring twice.

The first, a playful non-scoring bout with Corey Sanders, and the second, a Staples Centre spectacle against fellow boxing icon Roy Jones Jr.

Although nothing has been confirmed at the time of writing, Tyson insists it will be an exhibition with ‘real fight’ rules.

“This is called an exhibition, but if you look up exhibition, you won’t see any of the laws we’re fighting under,” he told Fox News.

“This is a fight. I don’t think he’s faster than me. I’ve seen a YouTube video of him at 16 doing weird dancing.

“That’s not the guy I’m fighting. This is a guy who’s going to try and hurt me, which I’m accustomed to, and he’s going to be greatly mistaken.”
