10 fights, 9 wins, 1 defeat
Those who criticise Paul seem to be tired of themselves. They don’t pay attention to his wins in boxing. Yes, he lacks techniques, but he keeps on progressing, beating a rival after rival.
There are still plenty of reasons for criticism, however. One of them is a seven-second video posted by Paul on social media, where he knocks down his sparring partner and then sends threats to Tyson. According to many boxing fans, the blogger broke an unspoken rule: sparring sessions should remain behind the scenes. Whatever happens in the gym should not be made public.
Some blame the blogger for his decision to beat the old legend only for a profit. It’s getting clear that even many fans of Mike Tyson don’t actually believe in him now.
What to expect from Paul in the fight against Tyson?
Paul turned his jab punches into perfection in his fight against Bourland. He was aggressive, his punches were tough and he was capable of turning back into position to keep his opponent in the distance to avoid the punches.
This is what he’s supposed to do against Tyson, too. Paul needs to keep the distance, avoiding a clinch.
All Jake needs to do is to try to beat the opponent because of speed and his jab punches. If he manages to keep Myke in the distance, Paul can win by decision.
Paul’s chances of winning
Considering the age of Mike Tyson and how long he didn’t fight, we should admit that Mike Paul can win by decision.
Jake’s unlikely to have enough techniques to break Mike's defence. However, double and jab punches from the distance can stop Tyson. He will miss some of them, trying to get closer.

Mike Tyson
-
The youngest heavyweight world champion (at the age of 20). Undisputed heavyweight champion in 1987-1990. The toughest man in sports according to ESPN. Fought 6 out of the 10 most paid boxing bouts. Ended his professional career in 2005.

57 fights, 50 wins, 6 defeats, 1 draw in an exhibition fight.
When Mike shares the video from his training, you always think how he manages to keep the speed of punches and strength at his age of 57.
Even considering how fresh he looks, the fans didn’t expect him fighting the notorious 27-years old blogger in 2024. Mike has been trying to get his image back. He’s already given his prediction for the bout.
The main question we should ask before the fight is whether we believe that it’s going to be a real rivalry, or the plot of the event is already written as in wrestling ‘competitions’.
What to expect from Tyson in the fight against Paul?
Mike will definitely try to make the distance shorter to punch with in his most famous style. The legend will make 3 or 4 consecutive punches to break the defence.
He realises that Paul will not sustain the pressing, if he will be cornered and will not be able to have some distance. Mike will keep his classic style with pressing and famous punches
Tyson’s chances of winning
He will have some chances to win only if he manages to desktop void the blogger from punching. Mike is likely to surprise his opponent in the first rounds. Yet he’s unlikely to be able to last long.
To beat Jake in his current form, Tyson will need more than one perfect punch. He will need a couple of series of them with possible knockdowns and some breaks to change the position.
Anyway, the fists of the legend still have something from the past. If Jake is cornered he can be knocked out.

Tyson vs. Jake Paul: Prediction
The main problem of exhibition fights is that the audience never knows what is the deal between both sides. Sometimes knockouts are prohibited, sometimes a fight is supposed to end in a particular round.
Of course, professionally, Mike has the advantage. He’s seen many various opponents in his career, Jake’s unlikely to surprise him. On the other hand, Jake is not a junior blogger anymore. His last fights have proved that he doesn’t take boxing as a hobby now. His timing, ability to feel the distance and jab punches will help him win by decision.
Although betting on someone to win seems to be a bad option in this case. Most likely, the plot of the fight is already written. It may either be a good farewell for the legend or transfer of the glory to a new generation.
My prediction is Full fight.
