A lot is been going on in the fight world especially in boxing. Jake Paul after winning his last bout in the first round via knockout was in the lookout for a fresh new challenge. Paul sent the fight community in a frenzy after he revealed who his next opponent is going to be. As it turns out Mike Tyson is coming out of retirement to take on the Youtuber.
Many were not impressed by the uncanny matchup including former UFC champion Kamaru Usman. He certainly did not hold himself back when giving his thoughts on Jake Paul’s new opponent.
Kamaru Usman goes down hard on Jake Paul
Seems like Usman has been enjoying his time off from fighting. He started his very own podcast with two-division champion Henry Cejudo. He was not a fan of the fight announcement of his favorite boxer Mike Tyson and Youtuber Jake Paul. Kamaru said,
I understand wanting to be a boxer as well and being a professional. But at some point someone has to be guiding this kid’s career. Do you want to be taken seriously as a boxer or do you want to be the famous Youtuber who did the boxing thing. Because I do think he’s talented and I do think Jake Paul can get good at boxing.
He added,
Do you expect me as a professional fighter as a real fighter to respect you?

Kamaru Usman made it clear that he does not respect the decision of Jake Paul taking on uncle mike. He gave Jake his flowers by calling him a skillful athlete and thinks Jake can be world class if guided in the right direction. Many will agree its not wise for the 57 year-old Tyson to take on an opponent who’s almost thirty years his junior.
Mike in his prime was considered the most dangerous and the most brutal fighter to ever exist. Time will tell if it was a safe decision taken by the boxing legend as they prepare throw down the gloves on 20th of July later this year.
