I rate Jake and I get why he wants to do this but seeing Iron Mike most likely knocked out at the age of 57 is extremely sad. It’s not a fair fight if this is serious..

According to fans, Paul fighting Tyson, who is way past his prime isn’t a fair fight, and lamented the match-up. Most fans called out Paul for not facingboxers in their prime. However, some X users also refused to count out Tyson and threw their support behind the veteran boxer. It would seem that hardcore Tyson fans believe that the 57-year-old boxer could still outclass Paul and hoped to see the latter get knocked out during the bout.
Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson will be streaming live on Netflix, on August 09, 2025.
