Furthermore, the world boxing idol also commented on his opponent, admitting that he considered him dangerous, despite having seen videos considered embarrassing when he was younger. Either way, ‘Iron Mike’ guarantees that it won’t be the same person who enters the ring with him.
“I don’t think he’s faster than me. I saw a YouTube video of him at 16 (years old), doing a strange dance. That’s not the guy I’m going to face. The guy who will come will try to hurt me, which I’m used to, and he will be enormously confused“, assured the boxer.
The next big boxing clash will take place on June 20th, in Dallas, in the United States. Another fact that draws attention is the age difference between the two fighters, as Jake is 30 years old, while Mike Tyson is already at the age of 58 and retired from professional fights for over 15 years.
