The highly anticipated fight between former champion and Hall of Famer Mike Tyson and the famous YouTuber turned boxing professional Jake Paul has been postponed to November 15. Tyson faces the challenge of recovering from a recent ulcer flare-up before returning to full-scale training. At 57 years old, it’s clear that his recovery time will not be the same as it was during his successful and controversial career.

The intrigue and potential of this fight have many celebrities talking about it. This time, it was former President of the United StatesDonald Trump who shared his thoughts on the bout. Trump appeared on the “IMPAULSIVE” podcast hosted by Logan Paul, Jake’s older brother. The power of social media to bring Trump onto a podcast is something unimaginable 30 years ago, making it wild to see Logan Paul interviewing Donald Trump. Trump, a well-known combat sports fan, has seen many fighters in the best rings throughout his 78 years and shared his opinion on the fight between Jake and Mike.

As Trump arrived and got settled, he was asked, “Jake or Tyson, who you got?” Trump didn’t declare a winner but instead gave his analysis of the fight. He said, “Look, Mike was fantastic but, you know, Mike’s a little older now and you guys can fight. You can legitimately fight,” referring to the Paul brothers’ aptitude and skills in the ring. He added, “It’s so amazing because I always thought a UFC guy or a top contender would be able to win even at 75 years old, but it doesn’t work that way. The clock is still the clock.” The anticipation continues to build as fans eagerly await this unique clash of generations in the boxing world.

Indeed, the clock is the clock. Youth and athleticism are Jake’s main weapons in this fight, while experience is Tyson’s. In this specific scenario, youth might have the upper hand. Trump, barring any other engagements, will likely be present at the future fight, though it takes place just days after the presidential election. It remains to be seen if he will attend as POTUS or as a runner-up to Joe Biden.
