There is another legendary heavyweight who also wants to fight ‘The Problem Child’

Mike Tyson and Jake Paul faceoff

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson were supposed to fight on July 20 but a medical issue forced ‘Iron Mike’ to postpone the even to November. Since Netflix already has the scheduled event, they found Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship star Mike Perry to take Tyson’s place. The fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson is still happening, according to both fighters. There is another legendary former heavyweight champion of the world who recently offered his opinion on this future fight and he even made a plea to his contemporary to not hurt Jake Paul so much. Apparently, we could have a new mega fight in the cards between ‘The Problem Child‘ and a heavyweight who actually knocked Mike Tyson out.

As a way to state the obvious, it’s pretty clear that this heavyweight who just spoke to Fox 29 Philadelphia is calling out Jake Paul because he knows millions of dollars are potentially involved. This former heavyweight champion of the world is none other than Lennox Lewis, one of the few men hwo managed to knock out Mike Tyson when he was still active and young. Lewis has very specific ideas about the fight with Jake Paul and doesn’t believe Tyson is as old as people are making him out to be. He is convinced ‘Iron Mike’ will make Jake suffer. In your opinion, who would win in a fight beteen Lennox Lewis and Jake Paul?

When asked about the fight, Lewis said: “That’s a good question. I hope that Tyson saves a little bit of Jake Paul for me. Mike Tyson’s gonna win. Mike Tyson’s not that old. Don’t take him too softly. We’re one year apart. You can fight somebody like that and do well because the person you’re fighting is not a true fighter and there’s a hundred things that you’ve forgotten that he’s learning. Age will be a little bit of a determining factor if the fight goes on too long, but if they get close and Mike Tyson comes with his ten-second combination, if one of those punches catches him he’s definitely gonna go down.
