Roy Jones Jr was the last person to fight Mike Tyson

Roy Jones Jr., the last person to fight boxing legend Mike Tyson, has shared his thoughts on Tyson’s upcoming match against Jake Paul. Tyson is set to return to the ring on July 20 to face social media star Paul at the AT&T Stadium in Texas.

Despite being 58 years old, ‘Iron Mike’ is still a formidable opponent, with over 30 years of experience over Paul. The last time Tyson fought was in November 2020, going eight rounds with Jones Jr., while Paul knocked out NBA star Nate Robinson on the undercard.

And Jones Jr. shared a worrying verdict for Paul, declaring that Tyson still had plenty of power when they met a few years ago. Jones Jr. told The Lunch Club: “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 go really good numbers especially having upgraded to a real fight.

“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.”

 

Paul has boldly challenged Tyson to try and become the first man to put him on the canvas having never been dropped before. He has a 9-1 record as a professional boxer, with his only loss coming on points to Tommy Fury.

Paul and Tyson once got along well, even appearing together on an episode of Tyson’s Hotboxin’ podcast, which Tyson surprisingly stopped filming recently. However, things changed once their fight was announced.

Paul explained: “When you sign the contract, something changes, right? Even if we want to feel that, but it’s like we are facing off, obviously, I love him and respect him so much. I’m honoured to be going into the ring with him, but we are f****ing fighting each other,” on his BS podcast.”
