Roy Jones is ready to fight Paul instead of Tyson.

Former world champion Roy Jones Jr. said he is ready to replace Mike Tyson in a fight against blogger Jake Paul.

"I'll probably get in shape for that fight as I've never thought about it before. But in the situation with the postponement of the Tyson - Paul fight, I think it's a great idea. I'll be ready and in shape, because if their fight doesn't happen, I'm the perfect option to replace Mike Tyson in a fight with Jake Paul. I'm thinking about it. If a fight with Paul is available, I'll go for it.

I have never considered a fight with Paul as I only think about being the best version of myself. I'll find out everything in the ring. Of course, a fight with Tommy Fury has been discussed, and I was once asked if I would fight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in an exhibition fight, and that's crazy. I would have said yes to that, but now that option has come up and it makes sense to get in shape to face Jake Paul, as it would be one of the biggest fights of the decade," Jones said.

Recall that Paul's fight against Tyson was supposed to take place on July 20, but the organizers postponed it indefinitely.
