Jake Paul and Mike Tyson are getting ready to face each other in the ring. The fight will happen on November 15 in Texas, and it's got people talking.
Paul, the 27-year-old YouTuber turned boxer, is actually the favorite to win. That's pretty surprising when you think about who he's up against. Tyson is a legend in boxing, but he's 58 now and hasn't been in a professional fight for a long time.
A lot of people are worried about Tyson's health because of the big age difference. Paul has a record of 10 wins and 1 loss, mostly against former MMA fighters. His only defeat came from Tommy Fury, which led to Paul and his trainer BJ Flores going their separate ways.
BJ Flores, Paul's former trainer, shared some thoughts about the upcoming fight. In an interview with Fred Talks Fighting, Flores said he still talks to Paul and gets updates on his training. He plans to be at the fight, but he can't tell us who Paul's sparring partners are.
Flores thinks Paul has a good chance of winning if he fights smart. He said:
"If Jake stays outside and boxes, taunts and feints and uses his legs a little bit to get Mike tired, I think he's gonna beat him for sure."
Flores advises Paul not to make Tyson angry. Instead, he thinks Paul should box from the outside, use taunts and feints, and try to tire Tyson out. But he warns that Tyson is still dangerous, especially early in the fight. Tyson's low center of gravity and explosive punches are threats, but Flores thinks Tyson's energy won't last long.
Paul is taking this fight seriously. He's in training camp now and seems excited about the event. He knows this is a big deal.
On the other hand, Tyson hasn't been in a professional boxing match for about two decades. His age is a big factor that has people concerned.
Not everyone agrees with Flores, though. Tyson's former coach thinks Tyson will win quickly.
Paul is looking to build on his recent comeback win. He got back to winning after losing to Tommy Fury, which was his toughest test so far against a traditional boxer.
The fight is set, and now we wait to see what happens when this unlikely pair meets in the ring.
