Mike Tyson is arguably the greatest man to ever enter a boxing ring. However, at 58 years old he is returning to the ring to face Jake Paul. He has named the key difference between him and his opponent.
The fight will take place next Friday at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Despite once being the explosive, powerful ‘Iron Man’, Tyson is certainly not what he once was, which has led many within the sport to fear for his health going into this fight.
None other than ‘The Cobra’ Carl Froch has come out in disgust when asked about what he thinks about the fight.
Jake Paul, once a Youtuber has in the past few years pursued a career in boxing.
Despite fighting the likes of Nate Diaz and Tommy Fury, Paul has never faced any boxer who is currently at a top level.
This had led to the likes of Matchroom’s Eddie Hearn labelling him an ‘average’ boxer, which Paul has not taken well.
The pair were set to face off back in July, however after Tyson suffered an injury resulting in him being hospitalised, the fight was postponed.
Controversially, the fight is set to be a licensed professional bout, with eight two-minute rounds, with neither fighter wearing head guards.
It is incredible to think that Tyson could have a defeat on his professional record handed to him by a former Youtuber.
On the newly released Netflix show ‘Countdown: Paul vs. Tyson’, Tyson has made it clear what he feels the key difference between himself and Paul is.
”There’s a fundamental difference between me and Jake, he’s a manufactured killer.”
”Television and papers made him a killer, he’s manufactured.”
“I’m a natural born killer, that’s the difference.”
Tyson has said the difference between himself and his opponent is that he is a born killer, whereas Paul is not.
Fight fans will be hoping that the legendary fighter suffers no injuries in this fight and the majority of fans are suggesting that the result will not have any impact on his legacy.
