Tyson Fury has supported the fight and in the process angered Carl Froch.
Many fans and pundits have been left disappointed in the fight being made but āThe Gypsy Kingā told The Stomping Ground that Paulās fight against Tyson is āfantastic for boxingā.
This is despite a huge 30 year age gap and āIron Mikeāsā inactivity since he retired in 2005.
And Furyās comments have been slammed by former super-middleweight world champion, Carl Froch.

Speaking to Instant Casinos he said: āNo, itās not good for boxing.
āFor Tyson Fury to say that itās good for boxingā¦ he needs to look in the mirror, have a look at what heās done.
āHave a look at what professional fighters do and what they go through, and then think to himself, this is Jake Paul, a performing clown jumping in there with a 57-year-old man, who is a legend and an icon in professional boxing.ā
Froch is not exactly a fan of Jake Paul and has offered to fight him on multiple occasions and once again challenged him to a scrap.
He continued: āHeās an absolute f****** idiot for fighting Mike Tyson. Itās wrong. It should be stopped.
āListen, I hope Tyson goes in there for 30 seconds, unleashes hell on Jake Paul, flattens him and does boxing proud. Jake Paulās been dead disrespectful as well in his build up. Heās been biting ears off and trying to mimic Mike Tyson and copy him.
āI just donāt find it funny. If he had any bollocks about him, heād fight me, wouldnāt he? Iād love to punch his teeth down the back of his throat.ā
