One of Mike Tyson's former opponents is willing to step in and fight Jake Paul.
The 57-year-old suffered an ulcer flareThe former four-weight world champion never came up against Tyson during his pro career, but the pair of boxing legends met in an exhibition bout back in November 2020.
"Maybe I get myself in shape for that because I never thought about doing it before, but with the situation of the fight , I think that’s a great idea," he told"And I’ll be ready and in shape, because if the fight doesn’t happen, then I’m the ideal guy to substitute in place of Mike Tyson to fight Jake Paul. It is something I have been thinking about. If the fight is out there, then yes .
"I figure it out in the ring. There was obviously the Tommy Fury thing, and then the other day somebody asked me whether I would fight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in an exhibition, and that’s crazy."I would jump on it, but now that this thing has come up, it makes sense to get into shape Jake Paul, and it would be one of the biggest fights of this decade."
