Former four weight class world champion Roy Jones Jr. said he favors blogger Jake Paul to fight legendary veteran Mike Tyson.

"The Paul and Tyson fight is not an exhibition bout, I've heard it's being relegated to a fight. If it's going to be a fight, it's very intriguing how it could go because Jake is much better now as a boxer, but Mike Tyson even at 58 years old is still Mike Tyson. When I boxed with him, he still punched like Mike Tyson. If he hits somebody in the chin, it's not going to be pretty. But I like Jake Paul, he's a good guy, and he's doing well in boxing," Jones Jr. said.

Recall that 57-year-old Tyson and 27-year-old Paul will share the ring on July 20 in Arlington USA.
