Who is Tipped to Win Paul vs. Tyson?
If you were to look at Mike Tyson’s professional boxing statistics alone, you wouldn’t doubt for a second that he could beat Jake Paul in the ring.
For instance, at the start of his career, Tyson won 26 out of 28 fights, winning 16 within the first round.
It helped the fighter rise through the ranks at a fast pace, resulting in him fighting many of the best boxers in the world at that time, such as James Smith, Tyrell Biggs, Michael Spinks, Frank Bruno, Donovan Ruddock, and Evander Holyfield.
However, as 58-year-old Tyson retired nearly 20 years ago, he likely lacks the speed, agility, and endurance to beat Paul in the ring.
Despite much criticism from the boxing community, 27-year-old Jake Paul has proven he has what it takes to win fights in the ring, as he has won 10 out of 11 fights since his professional debut in January 2020.
For this reason, Paul is the current favorite to win Paul vs. Tyson on Friday, November 15, 2024, and many boxing fans believe it could have a negative impact on Tyson’s legacy.
Does Mike Tyson Have Any Health Issues?
In addition to being 31 years older than his opponent, Mike Tyson has struggled with various health issues in recent years.
For instance, he revealed in 2022 that he suffers from sciatica, which could affect his focus and mobility on fight night.
Also, Jake Paul and Mike Tyson were originally supposed to face off in the ring on July 20, 2024; however, the fight was postponed to November as Mike Tyson experienced an ulcer flare-up.
What’s more, Denzel Bentley, a professional boxer, has expressed concern about Mike Tyson’s heart during the fight against Jake Paul.
Bentley said, “It is not the Mike Tyson that we know. We saw him make a comeback against Roy Jones Jr and couldn’t hurt him, so what makes you think he will hurt Jake Paul? All it will do is damage his record and legacy as one of our heroes. I won’t be watching it, to be honest.
“It is two-minute rounds, which means the pace will be really fast. Can his heart hold up to that? All I’m saying is, if I was 60, I wouldn’t want to train this hard. I think Jake Paul will win.”
