Jake Paul and Mike Tyson are getting ready for a big boxing match. The two will face off on November 15 at the AT&T; stadium in Texas. Netflix will stream the event live, and it's expected to break boxing viewership records.
Paul, who started as a YouTuber, has become one of boxing's biggest attractions. He's had eleven fights so far, beating some big names like Tyron Woodley and Nate Diaz. But he lost to Tommy Fury, a novice professional boxer.
Floyd Mayweather, who used to be a champion in five different weight classes, shared his thoughts on Paul's boxing career. He said:
"Jake Paul, as of right now for what he's doing it's good for what he's doing, but when it's time to fight an actual real fighter, it's gonna be bad! But one think I like about him, one thing I do is that he's selling it and he's making good money and he's entertaining, I like that."
Mayweather thinks Paul should stick to fighting MMA guys and YouTubers. He believes Paul will keep looking good against those opponents. But when it comes to real boxers, Mayweather doesn't think Paul will do well.
When asked about a potential fight between Paul and Canelo Alvarez, Mayweather didn't mince words. He said Paul would get beaten badly by Canelo, adding there's no way Paul could compete with him.
Despite his criticisms, Mayweather seems proud of what Paul has achieved. He said:
"They know what they're doing. I can't knock him."
Mayweather knows Paul's family well. He fought Jake's brother Logan in an exhibition match back in 2021.
The upcoming fight between Paul and Tyson has got everyone talking. Tyson, a former heavyweight champion, will step into the ring with the YouTube star turned boxer. It's a match-up that's sure to draw a lot of attention.
