Jake Paul not concerned with Mike Tyson's health
Tyson experienced a health scare earlier this year, which caused the fight to be postponed by a few months. There was concern within the boxing community for Tyson. However, Paul does not share this concern and claims that Tyson will not need a backup.
Paul's reassurance during an interview with TMZ was not just about Tyson's health, but also about the inherent risks of the sport. He stated, "He’s doing great. He’s super healthy behind the scenes and feeling great. That’s what we’re focused on, and there’s not a backup currently." Paul continued, "You can get seriously hurt or injured in there. So, if you’re not in there to go to war, then you should just get out."
Predictions for Jake Paul-Mike Tyson
Teddy Atlas: 'Risky for Paul'
In a recent interview with Seconds Out, Teddy Atlas said: “The first couple minutes could be a little risky for Paul against a guy who was the youngest heavyweight champ and a guy with one of the greatest combinations of speed and power in the history of the heavyweight division. For one or two rounds, could it be a little hairy? Yeah. If he don’t catch him, or he don’t hurt him, then the gas tank starts to putter, if that happens, then the young man would have the advantage. Even a young man who’s far less accomplished in the game.”
PredictEm: Jake Paul
Loot Levinson writes: "I’m betting on Jake Paul at -195 betting odds. I think this Bovada number has a chance to dip with some casual money coming in on Tyson, but I think it’s the prudent move. Tyson can still move pretty well, but against a youthful guy who isn’t an altogether pushover, it’s just an uphill battle for a man his age, as much as part of me wants to be wrong."
Roy Jones Jr.: Mike Tyson
In a recent interview with FightHype, Jones — who fought Tyson in an exhibition in 2020, Tyson's last appearance in a ring — said he believes Tyson will win:
"It’s a young lion and an old lion. It’s a great situation for them. It gives Jake a chance with Mike being as old as he is. I think it’s a great opportunity for both fighters but I still think Mike is gonna be a little bit too much for Jake."
Adam Burke, VSiN: Jake Paul
Burke writes, "Paul is fighting a huge name here in Tyson, but it is hard to have any idea what to expect from the former champ. Paul’s youth and progression into being something of a respectable fighter are the reasons why he is favored in this bout. Say what you will about fighting MMA guys masquerading as boxers, but those are guys with good cardio and some more recent data points on fighting with their fists than Tyson."
Nate Diaz: Mike Tyson
In an interview on the ''All the Smoke'' podcast, Diaz said that while he respects Paul's youth, speed, and nothing-to-lose attitude, Tyson is still his guy. Diaz believes that the pressure that comes with Paul being expected to win could play a role in the result as well.
