Although Tyson retired in 2005, he has agreed to return to the ring. YouTuber Jake Paul challenged the 58-year-old legend to a boxing match, and Tyson accepted.

The fight was originally scheduled for July but was postponed to November 15th due to Tyson’s health issues. Despite the matchup, not everyone believes it’s a good idea for Paul to fight Tyson.

UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier has weighed in on the bout, stating that it’s a lose-lose situation for Jake Paul, as Tyson could potentially end his boxing career for good.

“That is my concern. Because what if this looks like a 58-year-old man fighting a 28-year-old man, where Mike can’t dig deep?” questioned Cormier. “I think it’s a lose-lose for Jake Paul because if you beat up Mike Tyson, everyone loves Mike Tyson.

“What if Mike knocks him out though? Then it’s over. Everything’s done. It would be an all-time backfire. Nothing like that has ever happened in the history of the sport.”

Jake Paul made his boxing debut in 2020. Since then, the influencer has fought 11 times, with 10 wins and one loss. His sole defeat came against Tommy Fury in 2023, but Paul has since bounced back with four consecutive victories.
