Mike Tyson is back this summer.

Tyson Fury is the latest figure from the fight world to offer his verdict on the upcoming Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson clash and he has no problem with the fight.  

Earlier this month, it was announced that the popular pair will fight in July and the bout has split opinion throughout the sporting public. 

Tyson is approaching 60 years of age and has not fought professionally since 2005 leading many people to criticise the contest.  

Paul begins the favourite due to having youth on his side, and Fury, who knows both combatants well, is a big supporter of the event. 

"I think it's fantastic for boxing. You've got a legend in Mike Tyson. You've got a YouTube boxer, he has come into the game and blew it up and he's got millions of followers and millions of views and millions of eyes,” said Fury when speaking on The Stomping Ground

“Good, bad, or indifferent. Some people love him, some people hate him. So, I think it's a really good spectacle for boxing.”
