Dana White was not happy with the fight of the legendary former boxer at such a respectable age.
Mike Tyson shouldn’t fight blogger Jake Paul this summer. This is the opinion of UFC President Dana White, who is not enthusiastic about holding such a fight.
According to the functionary, the legendary boxer should not risk his health at such a venerable age. At the same time, White paid tribute to the former world champion’s ability to still attract attention.
“I love Mike Tyson, but I’m not a fan of anyone fighting our age. But obviously he’s grown up and he’s going to do what he’s going to do.”
I talked to his wife a few days ago, Mike is taking this fight seriously, preparing for it.
I think he’s one of the most unique men who continues to have an impact on new groups of people. Any other boxer of his generation had no way to make money without fights, and Mike made money without them.
Tyson still has that aura where when you see him in a restaurant you say: “Wow, Mike Tyson is here,” White was quoted as saying by talkSPORT.
Tyson and Paul are scheduled to meet in a boxing match on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, US. The match will be streamed on Netflix.
Mike Tyson will be 58 years old by the time he enters the ring, 31 years older than Paul.
It was previously known that Mike Tyson’s fight with the blogger may be canceled for medical reasons.
