Tyson calls Paul a ‘kid’
It will be an uphill task for US boxer Jake Paul to beat the 58-fight veteran Tyson, who plans to make that experience count by ending the bout in emphatic style.
In an official statement released via ESPN, Tyson said, “Paul has grown significantly as a boxer over the years, so it will be a lot of fun to see what the will and ambition of a ‘kid’ can do with the experience and aptitude of a GOAT.
He added further, “It’s a full-circle moment that will be beyond thrilling to watch, as I started him on his boxing journey on the undercard of my fight with Roy Jones, and now I plan to finish him.”
