Would you watch Mike Tyson fight Logan Paul?DAZN
The DAZN Boxing Show discussed the rumoured spectacle

The DAZN Boxing Show first discussed the subject three years ago, but now the fight is a reality. Here is what some experts thought:

The DAZN Boxing Show discussed rumours that Logan Paul would next fight Mike Tyson.

55-year-old former world heavyweight champion Tyson last fought in November against another former champion, Roy Jones Jr. Tyson had the best of the eight rounds, which was ultimately scored as a draw.

In the aftermath of the fight he has been linked with other exhibition fights but now it seems the older Paul brother could be his next opponent in the ring.

Barack Bess exclaimed: “Oh, God, it's supposedly happening, the fight I always wanted to see!”

Akin ‘Ak’ Reyes was sceptical of the novelty value, saying: “Now speaking of wanting to see that. isn't a fight that you actually really want to see. Is there any interest? Are you done with these type of fights?"

Bess explained: “It's not a fair question because little kids fighting in the street is always a spectacle for people. There's always a crowd around every fight wherever you go. So and you're talking to a guy who loves to see fighting. I'm addicted to this violence. So that's something I would want to see. 

“I think it's something that will sell because even though it's really just a spectacle, even though only one person can win... I think the majority of people want to see somebody with the last name Paul lose. They want to see that they want to see him not just lose, but get knocked out. 

“And Mike Tyson seems to be that candidate that can knock out Logan Paul. People wanted to see that with Floyd versus Logan. They didn't get to see it. So this is just brilliant by Logan Paul, if you ask me. It's not a fight I actually really care about but I'll be sitting down there watching.”
