Tyson Fury will be supporting Mike Tyson when the legendary fighter steps into the ring with Jake Paul later this month.
Tyson and Paul will be colliding in one of the year’s biggest events as one of boxing’s most dominant performers goes in with the popular YouTuber.
The veteran New Yorker is now approaching 60 years of age, but his experience in the sport combined with his power has some thinking he can cause a small upset.
Tyson has not fought professionally since 2005 when he was stopped by Kevin McBride, but he has participated in multiple exhibition bouts including a 2020 showdown with Roy Jones Jr.
Fury, named after Tyson, believes Tyson’s heavy hands can be a factor in the fight and he’s hopeful that the former world champion can get the job done.
“Listen, if Mike Tyson hits anybody, I don’t care if he’s 90, he’s gonna knock them out cold, isn’t he?” said Fury when speaking to The Stomping Ground earlier this year.
“Obviously, I have to back Mike Tyson. I’m named after the legend, and I’ll back him. As he always backs me, I’m backing Mike for the knockout. Come on, Mike.”
