Tyson Fury recently shared his thoughts on the upcoming fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, amidst the build-up to his own bout with Oleksandr Usyk this weekend. Fury, who was named after the legendary fighter by his father, expressed his admiration for Tyson and his excitement at seeing him back in the ring at the age of 58.
Despite Tyson's age, Fury confidently backed him for a win, stating, 'If Mike Tyson hits anybody, I don’t care if he’s ninety, he’s going to knock him out, isn’t he? He’s ’Iron’ Mike Tyson, the baddest man on the planet.' The fight between Tyson and Paul, set to take place at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on July 20, will mark the first-ever live boxing broadcast on Netflix.
Fury also acknowledged Jake and Logan Paul for their contributions to the sport of boxing, praising them for attracting new audiences and bringing attention to the sport. He commended their success in making millions of dollars and emphasized the positive impact it has on the sport by increasing viewership and interest among young fans.
Expressing his support for the Paul brothers, Fury highlighted the benefits of their involvement in boxing, stating, 'It only makes it better for young people who don’t get paid because more people will see the fight and be interested in it. So, more eyes to the game, and it’s better.'
Fury's remarks reflect a broader trend in the boxing world, where personalities like the Paul brothers have been instrumental in expanding the sport's reach and engaging new audiences. As the anticipation builds for both the Tyson-Paul fight and Fury's own match with Usyk, fans are eagerly awaiting the outcomes and the impact these events will have on the boxing landscape.
