Nate Diaz thinks Mike Tyson will beat Jake Paul in their upcoming boxing match. Diaz, who fought Paul last year, shared his thoughts on the controversial bout set for November 15.
Paul won a unanimous decision over Diaz in August 2023. He dropped Diaz in the fifth round, but the MMA star hung tough and made it to the final bell.
Now, Paul's getting ready to face Mike Tyson at AT&T; Stadium in Texas. The fight will stream live on Netflix, but not everyone in boxing thinks it should happen.
Diaz is backing the former heavyweight champ. He told FightHub TV:
"I'm with Mike all the way. Mike is the man. Jake is young and explosive and has nothing to lose in every fight, that's what he has going for them. Everything is going to switch where he is supposed to be the guy that wins, it'll hit him a little differently."
Tyson last fought professionally in 2005, losing to Kevin McBride. He retired after six rounds. In 2020, he laced up the gloves again for an exhibition with Roy Jones Jr. That eight-round contest ended in a split draw.
Jones Jr has also weighed in on the Tyson-Paul matchup, giving his own strong prediction for the fight.
Paul's youth and recent activity give him an edge on paper. But Tyson's legendary power and experience make this an intriguing clash that's got everyone talking.
