Tomorrow night in Arlington, Texas at the AT&T Stadium, Jake Paul will face boxing legend Mike Tyson in one of the most controversial fights of all time. Many have been critical of it, including Paul’s arch-rival KSI.
KSI, like Jake Paul, was originally a YouTuber and has turned to boxing as well as music to further establish himself.
He recently was defeated by Tyson Fury’s brother Tommy in an event that incredibly did over 1.3 million PPV buys, showing the huge interest in ‘misfits’ boxing.
Paul was also defeated by Tommy Fury in February 2022. He has since gone on to fight the likes of Nate Diaz, Michael Perry, and Andre August.
However, this fight is different, he is facing one of the best that this sport has ever seen.
‘Iron’ Mike Tyson whilst he was once the most feared man in the sport, now is 58 years old and is nowhere near what he was.
It is set to be a professional fight, with 8 2-minute rounds.
The fight is expected to be witnessed live by 65,000 people, making it the largest crowd Tyson has fought in front of ever.
27-year-old Paul due to his age, actually has a chance, which many have said is a sad state of affairs.
One of these critics is KSI.
On his Twitter/ X account he tweeted, “Jake Paul will knock out Mike Tyson. This will not be close at all. Boxing is a young man’s game and Mike is 58 years old. They’re sending a lamb to the slaughter and it’s disgusting.”
KSI has said that he expects Paul to knock Tyson out and that he is horrified that the fight is even taking place.
KSI and Jake Paul are yet to face off against each other but is expected that this will eventually happen due to the huge demand for it.
The fight whether boxing purists like it or not, will be one of the most watched fights of the year.
