 I don't even want to watch it. Jake Paul is a clown who's built his "career" on not fighting serious boxers. His mere presence disrespects the sport. And Tyson is a former legend who's now a senior citizen far out of his prime. For him, this is all about the payday. He has no incentive to give it all he's got. But for Paul, this is about saying he fought Tyson and won, pulling a bait & switch by pretending he's fighting Tyson in his prime when really he's fighting a geriatric shadow of the monster Tyson used to be. I think this "contest" is a disgrace, and I want no part of it.
