Mike Tyson has left his former opponent Evander Holyfield stunned ahead of his fight against Jake Paul.
Tyson will return to the squared circle this summer in July against ‘The Problem Child.’ The social media megastar turned professional boxer has made quite a name for himself over the years. Interestingly, in just over four years in the sport, Jake Paul has become one of boxing’s most talked-about names.
Jake Paul currently boasts a professional record of 9-1 and has fought some big names in combat sports. For his next fight, he will take on Mike Tyson. At 57 years old, Tyson seems to be training really hard for their upcoming clash.
Mike Tyson recently posted a video on his Instagram where he was seen sprinting. The video also brought out a reaction from Evander Holyfield, who commented on the post with a shocked face emoji. Take a look at the video below:

“I say in your prime you couldn’t draw a million people, man. What are you talking, you couldn’t sell out arena. Who at 58 could sell out an 80,000-seat arena?

But if he fought them the only people that will come are the people that like him.”
It’s safe to say that Tyson is raising a very valid point here. That said, it will be interesting to see how the fight does.
