Roy Jones Jr has given his assessment on the Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul clash.
The fight was recently announced much to the dismay of the fight community but money talks.
‘Iron Mike’ was last in action in a exhibition bout against Jones Jr in 2020 and the boxing legend has made a worrying prediction for ‘The Problem Child’ claiming that Tyson is still a dangerous opponent for the YouTuber-come-boxer.

Speaking to The Lunch Club he said: “The Jake Paul Mike Tyson fight is not an exhibition, I’ve heard it’s been upgraded to a fight.
“If it’s a fight, it’s very intriguing how it may turn out because Jake Paul has gotten a lot better as a boxer over the days but Mike Tyson even at 58 or however old he is, is still Mike Tyson.
“When I boxed him, he still punched like Mike Tyson. If he hits anybody square on the chin it’s going to be problematic, I don’t care who it is. I like Jake Paul, he’s a good guy and he’s doing good with his boxing stuff. I think it’s a good promotional situation for him and Mike, they should do really good numbers especially having upgraded to a real fight.
He concluded: “If Mike comes out and does what Mike normally does, then it’s going to be a tough situation for Jake. If Jake can stay away from him for four or five rounds, then Jake has a chance but he’s going to have to do a lot of manoeuvring to stay away from him.”
