It's safe to say former super middleweight champion Carl Froch is not fond of the fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson.
The announcement was made last week that Paul will face the boxing legend on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, and it is one which has been met with a mixed response.
Paul impressed in his last fight on March 2 when he knocked out Ryan Bourland in the first round of their contest and it was expected that he would continue to face more difficult opponents as he progressed in the world of professional boxing.
Instead he will face an opponent who will be 58 years old come the first bell and Froch is not pleased with Tyson's decision to step into the ring with "The Problem Child".
"It’s so disrespectful to our sport, to put somebody like Mike Tyson, who’s an icon of the sport, in with a performing clown like Jake Paul, who can’t fight," Froch told Boxing Scene.
“We saw he can’t fight against a novice in Tommy Fury; they come along and earn fortunes because they’ve got children following them. This demographic that follows Jake Paul – it’s not realistic.
"They can make money from it, but to fight Mike Tyson is disrespectful; it’s disgraceful. I’ll be putting him right – saying that. It’s wrong.
“I hope Mike Tyson sees sense. He’s very articulate at times, and he gives some good interviews and represents himself very well, but when you’re nearly 60 and you’re in that mindset, you don’t wanna be getting in the ring with a 20-something year old.”
