Michael Page, a mixed martial artist and a frequent commentator on sports-related topics, has expressed his disapproval of the upcoming fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. In an interview with Sports Seriously’s Tony Anderson, Page shared his thoughts on the highly anticipated match happening this summer.
Jake Paul, the YouTuber-turned prizefighter, has been promoting his fight with boxing legend Mike Tyson for months. The event is scheduled to take place on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. It will be available on Netflix, adding to the hype surrounding the clash between the 27-year-old Paul and the 57-year-old Tyson.
During the Formula One Miami Grand Prix, Paul made a bold statement in front of the Ferrari garage at Hard Rock Stadium, expressing his respect for Tyson while emphasizing his competitive mindset going into the fight. “I’m not gonna lie,” said Paul. “I respect Mike Tyson as a fighter and as a legend. But when it comes down to it, this is war – no holds barred.”
Tyson has been a vocal supporter of Paul’s transition from YouTube sensation to boxing phenomenon. In Paul’s Netflix documentary, Tyson praised Paul for his contributions to the sport and acknowledged that he has had a significant impact on boxing. However, for Paul, this upcoming fight with Tyson represents more than just recognition – it signifies a battle that he is prepared to face with all of his might.
Despite Tyson’s praise for Paul and recognition of his influence on boxing, Paul remains focused on preparing for the big day. While acknowledging his respect for Tyson, he is determined to give it everything during the match and leave nothing on the line – showcasing not only his dedication to boxing but also his competitive nature.
In conclusion, Page believes that while there may be some hype surrounding this matchup between two legends in different sports backgrounds; ultimately it will come down to skill vs skill in ring combat making him uninterested in seeing such kind of spectacle happening .
