Last Friday, Jake Paul secured his 11th victory in professional boxing by defeating Mike Tyson. However, a heavyweight world champion believes it wasn’t a true challenge and has now called out Jake Paul for a fight for the title.
Jake Paul spent several months hyping his fight against Mike Tyson. The YouTuber convinced the 58-year-old boxing legend to come out of retirement and step into the ring.
It quickly became apparent that Tyson’s age was a factor. The legendary boxer appeared fatigued after the first three rounds, making it easier for Jake Paul to secure the victory by unanimous decision.
