Former MMA fighter Kirill Sidelnikov admitted that it was difficult for him to watch the fight between the former boxing champion Mike Tyson and blogger Jake Paul.
On Friday, Tyson, 58, lost to Paul, 27, in an eight-round boxing match by unanimous decision. The fight took place in Arlington (USA). It was previously reported that Paul’s fee would be $40 million and Tyson’s would be $20 million.
“The fact that Mike is somewhat fit is good, but it was a little difficult to see such a great athlete get beaten by a blogger. Because there’s no other way to call it. It was clear that Mike was going through a difficult time. 58 years old, you also have to understand.
The most terrible thing was not to observe how he moved in battle, but how, after the bell, he went to his corner and sat down. There you could really see his age and the fact that it was a bit difficult for him. It’s sad to see this. In our heads, Tyson is such a living person, you understand. And seeing him in such a role is not as it should be, let’s put it that way,” Sidelnikov said at the Championship.
Tyson had his last official fight before the fight with Paul in 2005. In total, the ex-champion’s record includes 50 victories (44 by knockout) and seven defeats. The 27-year-old Paul’s boxing statistics are 11 wins (7 by knockout) and one loss.
