Jake Paul next fight: What has been said?
Tyson will be aware of Paul’s impressive record, but he pointed out that the calibre of his previous opponents are nothing like him.
“He can fight boxers his level. I do not believe [he’s on my level], not at all,” Tyson told FOX4.
“[The fight will be] not long, because as soon as I catch him he’s gonna run like a thief.
“I don’t see how he’s gonna make an exciting fight by running all day.
“He’s supposed to be the young guy, he’s supposed to walk right through me, I’m an old man.
“He’s gonna run all f***ing night. I think he should try [standing toe-to-toe], he’s the younger man, he should be able to handle punches from an old withering man like me.
“I can’t wait for this evening to happen. I don’t believe Jake is taking this serious. I just don’t think so.
“I think he believes he’s the young guy and I’m the quasi-retirement charm and he thinks this is going to be an easy touch.”
