Paul will face Tyson in a professional boxing bout next month - and one former referee is not happy
Jake Paul has received a stark warning that the additional padding in the gloves for his upcoming bout with Mike Tyson won't be to his advantage.
Scheduled for November 15 in Arlington, Texas, Paul enters the ring on the back of a victory against ex-UFC combatant, Mike Perry. Since his 2020 boxing debut, he's notched wins against notable opponents such as Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva, and Nate Diaz. Tyson, now 58, hasn't engaged in a professional fight since his defeat by Kevin McBride in 2005, although he did return for an exhibition match with Roy Jones Jr four years ago.
Speaking to USA Today, the 80-year-old expressed his view that the extra glove padding will do little to help the younger American, remarking: "That's still a small glove thinking about the power of Mike Tyson With Mike Tyson, it's so dangerous even for the referee because you got to be close, but you got to be far away to be able to allow them to do their thing.
Despite concerns about Tyson's well-being, Steele is confident that the ex-heavyweight world champ still has what it takes to win. "He's still dangerous. He has so much power... I just hope he don't end up getting hurt or hurt the other guy."
