He has explained what Tyson can do to avoid defeat against Jake Paul
The boxing world is patiently waiting for the headline act of Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul and one unexpected person has aligned themself with Tyson.
A former opponent of Tyson, Evander Holyfield has been a regular interviewee in the build-up to July’s bout and he has tried to offer Iron Mike some advice for fighting at an advanced age.
The fight is set to take place on July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. By July 20, Tyson is going to be 58 years old, roughly 30 years older than his opponent.
Holyfield’s return to the ring at 58 years old
Holyfield beat Tyson twice during his professional boxing career and he made an ill-advised return to the ring in 2021 to take on UFC legend Vitor Belfort in a boxing match.
He was toyed with and comprehensively beaten, despite having infinitely more boxing pedigree than his opponent.
Holyfield was 58 years old when that fight took place and it was obvious that he should not have been in the ring, so naturally he has been asked to offer some advice for Tyson who finds himself in an identical situation.
“I don’t know how much confidence Jake Paul has, but he will be a lot quicker. If he stays close to Mike, then his chance of winning is going to be great. But if he tries to stay back from Mike, then he is going to get caught,” he said to Fight Hub.
“Mike is like a snake. He will pop out on you, but if you charge him, you can smother him because he pushes off his legs because he is too close. If you give him room, you are going to be messed up.”
