Iron Mike has been uploading quite impressive training videos of himself throwing explosive punches. While most people have expressed their concern for Tyson, he believes that he will win. Paul, on the other hand, boldly stated that the former champion is underestimating his skills inside the ring. As such, during an interview with Fox News, Paul stated:
I think he’s underestimating me. I truly, I truly think that.Jake Paul via Fox News
Paul also stated that it is a heavyweight fight, which gives Tyson a certain advantage over him. However, even though Tyson is bigger and stronger than him, Paul stated that he is instead faster and fresher. He used the word fresh to point out his advantage in terms of his youth, agility, and endurance. The Problem Child also believed that he was smart inside the ring, but Tyson might be smarter.
He also stated that it is an honor to share the ring with such an esteemed champion. In addition, Paul believes that he is faster than Tyson, but the former champion does not think so.
Tommy Fury reacts to Jake Paul fighting Mike Tyson
Paul has certainly come a long way in terms of the celebrity boxing career that he started. As such, he is set to fight the heavyweight champion, Tyson. However, Paul’s first fight against a professional boxer was against Tommy Fury, which he lost.
Subsequently, Tommy Fury recently gave his opinion about the fight while appearing at Tyson Fury‘s press conference. He didn’t hold back while saying that Paul fighting an almost 60-year-old former champion is just disgraceful. The boxer further refrained from making any predictions for such an unfair fight.
Moreover, Fury was adamant that he would have never taken the offer to fight Tyson out of respect for the legendary boxer. He also remarked about how Jake Paul couldn’t defeat him, so he is now resorting to fighting a 60-year-old former professional champion.
