Jake Paul will face the legendary Mike Tyson in his next bout. The announcement garnered a lot of attention. Mostly, it received negative attention for the age gap between the fighters. KSI and Dillon Danis have also made their remarks on the announcement. Here is what happened:

YouTuber and fellow influencer boxer KSI criticized the upcoming fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. Netflix announced the fight. Reports suggest that Netflix broadcasts the event without any PPV pricing worldwide. However, it received negative celebrity attention. This is what KSI tweeted: 

50+ years old. No one wanted this… So sad to see, man.

Mike Tyson last competed against Roy Jones Jr. in an eight-round exhibition in November 2020. There were discussions of Tyson competing in more exhibitions. It failed to materialize in the coming years. Almost three years later, there were rumors of Russian MMA legend Fedor Emelianenko fighting Tyson in Saudi Arabia.

In the end, Tyson will fight Jake Paul in Texas. Meanwhile, Jake Paul recently defeated professional boxer Ryan Bourland by TKO in the first round. It was also his tenth professional bout.

Jake Paul and KSI are YouTube rivals. They have teased a boxing match for a long time. The rivalry began when KSI called out Paul during his feud with Paul’s brother Logan Paul. Last year, KSI tweeted an offer to Paul for a fight at Wembley Stadium in 2023. The winner would take 100% of the purse. For some reason, it never materialized.

Dillon had recently made his boxing debut when he fought Logan Paul last year. Dillon Danis criticized Jake Paul’s decision to fight Mike Tyson. This is what Danis said: 

You're fighting someone who was born in 1966. Have some shame.

Danis’s comment reflects widespread skepticism about the match. The thirty-year age gap remains concerning. No Athletic Commision in the US even Texas would make it a professional. It will likely be contested as an exhibition bout. There is also a possibility of the fight getting canceled or postponed if Tyson sustains an injury. As one gets old, the chance of getting injured also increases. Only time will what will happen in the Paul vs. Tyson bout.
