“One of the greatest to ever do this”: Jake Paul exclaims with bluster before Mike Tyson’s bout as the terrible reality remains
Mike Tyson will face Jake Paul in Dallas on November 16 (AEDT) in just over two weeks.
You understand what that entails.
False remarks and phony bravado are set to flood the market in an attempt to maximize profits for both men.
You would be tempted to intervene and prevent what may very well be a major assault if you were at the pub and seen a man in his 20s punching on with a man who was getting close to 60 and had recently turned to using a walking cane.
When Tyson and Paul square off for eight two-minute rounds wearing 14-ounce gloves in the middle of November, the hazards are the same, but it appears that no official is willing to stop an event that, if it goes wrong, might traumatize the entire world.
The primary distinction that sets this situation apart is the widespread perception that Mike Tyson is not your typical man approaching retirement age.
Some have speculated that Tyson’s endurance may be an issue since he recently published a video in which he dropped a sparring partner and released brief training footage of him firing monster combinations.
In Dallas, Texas, Tyson, who is 20 years old and the youngest man to ever hold the heavyweight title, will face an older fighter who has ulcer issues and hasn’t competed professionally since 2005.
Despite this, Paul told Nine’s Today that a victory over his nearly elderly opponent would make him an eternal boxer.
“People believe that I’m a kind, cheerful social media content producer. Paul remarked, “I’m a killer, but I like to have fun.”
“This is my destiny; this is what I was raised to do.
“I’ll defeat him and take on the role of boxing’s spokesperson. People will have to accept that whether they like it or not.
“I was born to do this and I will be world champion and I will go down in the boxing hall of fame as one of the greatest to ever do this.”
False claims and phony bluster were things we warned you about. Here’s another dose, then.
In the Countdown series for the fight, which will be released soon, the former champion stated: “I’ll be immortal if I win. I would rather die in the ring than in a hospital bed.
Perhaps the most troubling aspect is that Tyson sounds more credible than Paul for some reason.
The age difference between the boxers has been discussed a lot, but less has been said about the terrible outcomes that might occur if a 27-year-old man brutally beats a 58-year-old.
What would happen if boxing’s biggest nightmare played out on Netflix in front of 700 million potential spectators worldwide?
Paul wasn’t asked that question, but we wanted to add a little more bluster to divert your attention from the terrifying possibilities that could unfold on November 16.
“Tyson is dropping people in sparring, he looks the best shape he’s been in, that’s what his coaches are saying,” Paul stated to Nine.
“I intend to outbox him and prove my abilities to the world. There will be a war.
“Being in there with someone of his caliber is an honor and a dream come true, and it’s going to be a spectacle and one of the most entertaining nights the sport has ever seen. He and Muhammad Ali are two of the most well-known fighters in the world to have ever done it.
“I was born to do this and I will be world champion.”
He continued: “All of Australia tune in, I’m going to Kangaroo kick Mike Tyson in the face.”
Boxing has a remarkable ability to transform untrue statements into unpleasant realities.
Hopefully, that won’t occur on November 16.
