Heavyweight legend Mike Tyson will return to face Jake Paul in July. Tyson has not fought in almost years. The last time Tyson entered the ring, he fought Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition bout. Many combat sports athletes have given their takes on the upcoming fight. Former Tyson foe Lennox Lewis became the latest one to give his take on the upcoming bout.
Many people have previously criticized Paul for fighting retired MMA fighters who have never boxed. Jake Paul addressed the criticism and took it to a new level. Fighting an elderly boxer has not pleased anyone. Subsequently, Lewis shared his predictions for the fight on Instagram. He used the UFC gameplay demo to illustrate his point. This is what he wrote:
So I hear @miketyson will be fighting @jakepaul. I'm not quite sure how that will go, but it could be something like this.Lennox Lewis via Instagram
As such, Lewis shared what the fight will look like through UFC gameplay between Paul and Tyson. The video showed Paul and Mike Tyson inside the octagon. The film ends quite swiftly and abruptly. Tyson landed a solid overhand right strike to knock Paul out cold. Lennox Lewis believed the same could happen.
Lewis decided to side with his contemporary, just like MMA fighters decided to side with their contemporaries over Jake Paul. Age is definitely a factor, and how well Tyson can take a punch remains the biggest question. Out of nostalgia, many fans have chosen to believe in Tyson to defeat Jake Paul in July.
Jake Paul denies Logan Paul’s claims of rejecting the Mike Tyson fight
Logan Paul vs. KSI became the start of influencer boxing. Nevertheless, Logan or KSI did not find huge success other than monetary benefits. On the other hand, Jake Paul became successful in boxing. He has beaten multiple MMA fighters with more combat experience than him.
In addition, Logan recently claimed he rejected the offer to fight Tyson because of his age. However, Jake rejected those claims while appearing on a stream with Adin Ross. Furthermore, ‘The Problem Child’ revealed that his team worked exclusively to secure this fight with Tyson. As such, Jake stated that his brother lied about being offered to fight Tyson.
Logan Paul has yet to come out and refute Jake’s claims. In the past, the brothers had a heated confrontation on the Impaulsive podcast. Only time will tell if Logan confronts Jake about calling him out on the rumored Tyson fight offer.
