Mike Tyson and Jake Paul are getting ready to face off in a boxing match. The two fighters will step into the ring on November 15, and Netflix will show the fight live to all ...
Tim Bradley, a former two-weight world champion, thinks Tyson will knock Paul out. Bradley watched some of Tyson's training videos and liked what he saw.
"Mike Tyson, knock his a** out, baby! At first, I thought about it, I was like this is kind of crazy but then I saw the rules. It said knockouts, knockdowns. It's official, it can happen. Two minutes – that's going to favour Mike Tyson."
The fight will be Tyson's first professional bout in almost twenty years. At 58, he's more than thirty years older than Paul, who started as a YouTuber before getting into boxing.
Bradley explained why he thinks Tyson has the edge. He said the shorter rounds will help the former champ. "He comes out in the first four rounds like he's always blazing, Mike Tyson, getting him against the ropes, banging him to the body, hitting him with power shots," Bradley said.
The fight was supposed to happen in July, but Tyson had to delay it because of an ulcer problem. ESPN reported on the postponement at the time.
Now, with less than a month to go, Tyson is training hard. Bradley noticed this in the videos he watched. "You haven't seen those little training videos, those aren't sped up," he said. He's sure Tyson still has his famous power, saying, "You know that the power is the last thing that leaves you."
Bradley believes Tyson can end the fight early. "He can get the knockout. Knock Disney Boy the hell out," he said, using a nickname for Paul.
The fight is set for two-minute rounds instead of the usual three. Knockouts and knockdowns are allowed, making it a real professional bout. Tyson says he's training better than ever and wants to end Paul's boxing career.
