Jake Paul's next outing inside a boxing ring will see him face a boxing legend.
He will be taking on former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson in Dallas on November 15 after their initial fight date of July 20 got postponed.
Now former undisputed heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis has declared his interest in facing Paul after he has gone head-to-head with Tyson at AT&T Stadium.
"That’s a good question. I hope that Tyson saves a little bit of Jake Paul for me,” Lewis told Fox 29 Philadelphia.
Lewis was then asked to make a prediction and while he announced that he is backing Tyson to get the win, he did have warning for the American if the fight to reaches the later rounds.
"Mike Tyson’s gonna win. Mike Tyson’s not that old. Don’t take him too softly. We’re one year apart," Lewis continued.
"You can fight somebody like that and do well because the person you’re fighting is not a true fighter and there’s a hundred things that you’ve forgotten that he’s learning.
"[The age] will be a little bit of a determining factor if the fight goes on too long, but if they get close and Mike Tyson comes with his ten-second combination, if one of those punches catches him he’s definitely gonna go down.”
Lewis knows what it is like to share the ring with Tyson after the pair met in 2002 for the IBF and WBC heavyweight titles, and it was the former who got the victory with a knockout in round eight.
