‘I don’t fear for Mike at all’
Four-weight world champion and the last man to share a ring with Mike Tyson, Roy Jones Jr, has given his fight prediction.
Speaking on the latest episode of talkSPORT Boxing, Jones Jr was asked whether Tyson will win against Jake Paul.
To which he said: “In my humble opinion, if Jake Paul struggled against Tommy Fury how in the hell are you going to beat Mike Tyson?”
He later added: “You can’t beat Tommy Fury and a guy who hasn’t been world champion, how you going to beat Mike Tyson, who is the youngest heavyweight champion of all time?
“To me, this is my opinion, I can’t see that happening.
“Now, this is Hollywood we live in nowadays, the social media is about Hollywood, it’s about what happens, who makes the most money.
“So that being said, it’s hard to say what’s really going to happen.
“But I think we actually know that a real Mike Tyson even at 60-years-old, still destroys Jake Paul at 27, at 25 at 23, no matter how old he is.”
Jones Jr has full belief Tyson can handle anything Paul throws at him, as he continued: “I don’t fear for Mike at all.
“When I fought Mike four years ago, in round six, seven and eight, Mike was just as active as he was in round one, two, three, because they were two-minute rounds, so that’s perfect for Mike.”
