Jake Paul will fight 57-year-old Mike Tyson and boxing fans are already calling it rigged
Jake Paul might not always go against the best active fighters when he steps into a boxing ring, but there’s no denying he picks names that draw the most eyes (and money). And his next fight will likely be the biggest yet.
In a live event airing July 20 on Netflix, Paul is set to fight none other than former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. And though it may sound like a crazy idea on first mention, it’s important to remember Tyson will be 58 years old by the time of the fight. So, it’s not crazy to think a 27-year-old in top shape could potentially hang with the champ.
Fans on social media weren’t convinced, though. They’re already calling the fight rigged, saying that’s the only way Paul will be able to go toe-to-toe with Iron Mike. They might be on to something.
