Many analysts give Jake Paul the advantage due to his age. The YouTuber-turned-boxer is 31 years younger than Mike Tyson, which could help him a lot in terms of agility and stamina inside the ring.

Nevertheless, Mike Tyson thinks that he has a unique trait that will make him win against Jake Paul. Iron Mike is confident that he will get the victory thanks to a special edge he has: his natural instinct to fight.

“There’s a fundamental difference between me and Jake,” Tyson said in the Netflix documentary about their fight. “He’s a manufactured killer. Television and papers made him a killer. He’s manufactured. I’m a natural-born killer. That’s the difference.”

While Jake Paul’s age could help him in this fight, it is true that Mike Tyson’s muscle memory could be an even greater advantage. Nevertheless, many fans are doubtful about his preparation and determination to face the influencer.

Can the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight be postponed again?

The fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson was initially set for July 20. However, Tyson suffered an ulcer flare-up during a flight to Los Angeles a few days before the bout, making it impossible to take place.

Both pugilists will undergo medical tests a day before the fight. If the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) doesn’t deem Tyson healthy enough to fight, the bout may be postponed again or even canceled.
