Back in 2005, an unlikely contender emerged in the boxing world. Kevin McBride, a towering Irish boxer, did what few thought possible. He made Mike Tyson quit boxing for good. Now, as Jake Paul gets ready to face ‘Iron Mike’ this Friday, McBride has some interesting advice to share. This advice definitely can save ‘The Problem Child’ from some unnecessary pain.
Fans would think a guy who beat Tyson would come out with some deep boxing strategy. Instead, his first piece of wisdom is hilariously practical. He advised Paul to keep a lookout for Tyson’s mouthguard.
“If Jake called me, I would say, ‘watch out if he spits out his mouthpiece’! That’s the only advice I’d have,” said McBride via Bloody Elbow.
The Irish fighter’s victory over Mike Tyson wasn’t just luck; it was a smart game plan. McBride used his bigger size to wear down the former champ. At eight inches taller and 40 pounds heavier, he literally leaned on Tyson until the legend couldn’t take it anymore. But Jake Paul won’t have that same advantage.
Speaking from his experience of actually trading punches with Tyson, McBride paints a vivid picture of Iron Mike’s power. He revealed that Tyson’s power goes through the body. That’s not the kind of endorsement that will help Jake Paul sleep well before this fight.

The social media star turned boxer recently declared that boxing is now his sport, not Mike Tyson’s. That is a bold statement to make to a man who used to knock out professional fighters before some fans could find their seats. The former heavyweight champion watched Paul’s callout video with a kind of amused patience. His response, though, was pure vintage ‘Iron Mike’.
“There is a fundamental difference between me and Jake. 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.”
The fight is set for November 15 at AT&T Stadium in Texas, and Netflix is broadcasting it as its first combat sports event. The streaming service that brought fans “Stranger Things” is now bringing them “Iron Mike vs. The Problem Child!!”
