Renowned UFC commentator and podcast host Joe Rogan has shared his prediction for the upcoming boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. Rogan expressed his belief that Tyson, despite being 30 years older than Paul, still possesses the formidable skills to dismantle his opponent.
The highly anticipated bout, set to take place in Texas on July 20, will mark Tyson's return to the professional boxing ring. The former unified world champion and the youngest heavyweight champion in history at the age of 20, Tyson holds an impressive record. He was also the first heavyweight boxer to simultaneously hold WBA, WBC, and IBF titles.
In contrast, Paul, a YouTube personality turned professional boxer, has been making waves in the boxing world with his recent victory over Ryan Bourland in his 10th professional fight. However, many critics have questioned the level of competition faced by Paul.
While some have raised concerns about Tyson's age and his last professional bout dating back to 2005, Rogan is convinced that The Baddest Man on the Planet still has what it takes to come out on top. Rogan highlighted Paul's recent fight against Tommy Fury, where it went to a split decision, showcasing Paul's fighting skills against a legitimate undefeated boxer.
"I don't give a f**k if he's 55, that's still Mike Tyson," Rogan exclaimed on his podcast. He praised Tyson's training under the guidance of renowned MMA trainer Rafael Cordeiro, emphasizing the power and speed that Tyson still possesses. Rogan also noted that during Tyson's preparation for his fight against Roy Jones Jr., state-of-the-art science and an agreement not to punch each other in the face were employed.
Rogan's prediction suggests that if Paul witnesses Tyson's trademark bobbing and weaving in the ring, he may feel the weight of the legendary boxer's presence. With Tyson's power intact and his speed still terrifying, Rogan believes Paul will likely have a daunting task ahead of him.
As the date of the fight draws near, fans and boxing enthusiasts eagerly await the clash between the seasoned veteran and the burgeoning YouTube sensation. The battle between Tyson and Paul promises to be a spectacle with potential surprises, and Rogan's prediction adds fuel to the already buzzing anticipation surrounding this unique matchup.
