Mike Tyson will make his second comeback to boxing against Jake Paul. Now, a legend of the sport has delivered a bold prediction for Iron Mike in his bout against the YouTuber.
Four years ago, Tyson decided to put the gloves on once again to fight Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition match. The bout ended in a controversial split draw, which left Iron Mike with the desire for another contest.
At the age of 58, there weren’t many boxers interested in fighting Tyson. However, Jake Paul emerged as a potential rival, with the YouTuber trying to make his way into professional boxing in recent years.
