Mike Tyson is a living boxing legend, but he was recently outboxed by a YouTube star. Now, ‘Iron Mike’ has made a shocking admission about the arm power Jake Paul possesses.

For many analysts, no boxer has ever been as fearsome as Mike Tyson. The American pugilist terrified most of his opponents, often using psychological tactics to dominate even before the fight began.

Tyson retired in 2005 after a loss to Kevin McBride. However, he returned for one last professional bout against Jake Paul, an influencer striving to cement his name in the boxing world.

Jake Paul sought the pro match to prove he’s a legitimate boxer. The 31-year age gap between the two fighters, however, worked heavily in Paul’s favor, allowing him to secure a dominant victory over the legendary ‘Iron Mike.’

Though Paul didn’t achieve a knockout, Tyson has since revealed his shock at Paul’s arm power, admitting he was surprised the bout didn’t end earlier due to the influencer’s strength.
