No one can doubt the greatness of Mike Tyson. Many analysts and fans regard him as one of the best boxers in history, with even Jake Paul praising him consistently ahead of their fight.

Anthony Crolla predicts a shocking outcome for the Tyson vs. Paul bout

The boxing community is excited to see Mike Tyson fight once again. At the age of 58, Iron Mike will face Jake Paul in a pro bout, with the influencer trying to establish himself in professional boxing with this match.

Many analysts have shared their opinions on this bout. Now, Anthony Crolla, a former lightweight boxing champion, has expressed his prediction, suggesting that the fight could end very poorly for Tyson or be relatively easy for him.

“I think it’s a bit dangerous, we don’t know what kind of place Mike Tyson will be in,” Crolla said. “He looked great in the exhibition with Roy Jones Jr.

“Jake Paul has improved, Mike Tyson’s age – it’s a mad one. It’s hard to even make sense of it, Mike’s approaching 60! It’s going to be either horrendous viewing or Mike Tyson would walk through him, and I’d think he’d make a lot of people in boxing happy.”
