As a longtime boxing enthusiast and former fighter myself, I must say I find myself torn between admiration for Jake Paul’s audacity and concern for the legendary Mike Tyson‘s health and reputation. Having stepped into the ring myself, I can appreciate the dedication, discipline, and skill required to compete at the highest level.


As a gamer, I’ve found myself in an unexpected corner of the limelight recently. An old-school boxing champ has thrown his gloves into the ring, challenging me if I manage to beat Mike Tyson. He’s warned he’ll give me a good slap if I win – quite the showdown, isn’t it?

A variety of people outside the fight world – from combatants, boxing analysts, to enthusiasts – have voiced their opinions on the matchup between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. The significant age difference and Mike’s health concerns, which necessitated a postponement initially, are topics that have been widely discussed.

As a passionate boxing fan, I’ve got to express that while some fighters support Jake’s challenge against Mike, many others are vehemently urging “Iron” Mike to reclaim his glory and knock down the YouTuber-turned-boxer. They aim to uphold the purity of the sweet science.

Boxer Amir Khan, a previous light-welterweight champion, is among those who believe Tyson will win against Jake. In fact, he’s gone as far as jokingly threatening to give Tyson a slap if the 58-year-old boxing legend gets defeated by him.

As a loyal friend, I’d step up to defend him if someone were to hurt Mike Tyson. If that were to happen, I’d be more than willing to offer a firm rebuke, or as they say, give him a good talking-to. That’s just what friends do, I suppose.

Previously, the Olympic silver medalist who once won praised Jake as a “skilled combatant” and expressed “worry” about their mutual friendship.

Khan expressed some worry, stating unequivocally that he was completely on board with this. With each confrontation he enters, particularly given his current age, there’s a question of commitment. Khan believes he will commit, but the level of dedication remains uncertain.

Isn’t it concerning when former world champion boxers are losing to YouTubers instead of rising stars or established fighters? Such outcomes don’t portray boxing in a positive light.

After his fight against Tyson, Jake is expected to transition into MMA, and it’s rumored that the Professional Fighters League (PFL) has plans to arrange a “reputable” opponent for him next year.
