Jake Paul furious with Mike Tyson for what he has done since pulling out of fight
Jake Paul has been left angry after seeing Mike Tyson partying in Europe since the heavyweight legend was forced to pull out of their boxing fight due to an ulcer flare-up
Jake Paul is angry with Mike Tyson after seeing the heavyweight legend partying since he pulled out of their boxing match.
Paul and Tyson were scheduled to face off this month in Texas, but had to postpone the fight until November 15 due to Tyson suffering an ulcer flare-up. Instead, Paul will now fight former UFC fighter Mike Perry on July 20, but has been disturbed by his future opponent’s recent activities.
“He’s doing great and Jake is p***** because he sees in Europe, living life, doing appearances, celebrating his birthday and he’s like, ‘I thought he was injured, what’s going on?’,” Paul’s manager Nakisa Bidarian told the MMA Hour. “I talked to team Tyson yesterday and they said he’s back, not doing boxing training but doing strength and conditioning and he feels great.”
“The planned fight between Paul and Tyson has faced widespread criticism due to the 30-year age difference, but Bidarian defended the match. “Anyone can get an ulcer, or an injury.
“Mike Tyson and Jake Paul make sense because of the age, from my perspective. If Mike was in his early 30s, given Jake’s experience, there’s no sense to that fight. Age is the equalizing factor. When you look at Mike Tyson at age 27, he was 40-1. Jake Paul is 27, he’s 9-1.
“Jake Paul’s been a professional for four years, at that point, Mike Tyson was a professional for 14 years. What makes it exciting and real is there’s a chance that either guy can lose.
“If you ask the vast majority of the public, everyone thinks that Mike Tyson is gonna knock out Jake Paul. I think as long as he has a clean bill of health, which he did, and he 100 per cent will if we move forward with November 15, then of course that fight should happen.”
Paul will to go head-to-head with Tyson in an eight-round clash, marking the latter’s first return to the ring since his exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr in 2020. The last time Tyson tasted professional action was when he failed to answer the bell against Kevin McBride nearly two decades ago.
