Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson, on the one hand, promises Tyson’s return to the ring after Lockdown Knockdown against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020. On the other hand, it promises Paul the fight of a lifetime. On that note, Paul, who wishes to win a world title in the sport is excited to share the ring with ‘Kid Dynamite’, considering the match a matter of great honor. Meanwhile, Tyson wishes to “finish” Paul’s journey and reassert his greatness in the ring. But, columnist Skip Bayless is having a hard time digesting Paul vs. Tyson.
Therefore, in the latest episode of Undisputed, Bayless ridiculed the fight scheduled for July 20th. On that note, as he assumed fans thought Tyson would likely defeat Paul, ‘The Problem Child’ publicly disagreed.

Although Jake Paul’s manager Nakisa Bidarin expects Paul vs. Tyson to be the most-watched event in modern boxing history, several figures disapprove of the upcoming fight. While Stephen A. Smith showed great concern for Tyson’s health at 57, Skip Bayless found the idea of the match ridiculous. In Bayless’ opinion, a few people came up with the idea of Tyson vs. Paul inside a barroom while drinking. “Well, I’ll watch it. It’s like a barroom argument that came to life,” said Bayless.

“Guys might be having some drinks and say, ‘What if Jake Paul fought Mike Tyson like right now, what would happen?’ That’s just something you throw around and argue about it. ‘Mike Tyson would kill him,'” added Skip. “But, all of a sudden, it’s almost like that pipe dream of a fight came to life. And somebody said, ‘Let’s see what happens,'” the 72-year-old concluded. However, as soon as the clip came to Paul’s notice, ‘The Problem Child’ took to Instagram stories and wrote, “No, I don’t agree @skipbayless.”

As per Paul’s statements, neither was the idea of the fight stirred up in a barroom nor would Tyson defeat ‘The Problem Child’. In fact, in his latest YouTube video, Paul explained it all started four years ago. Having called Tyson his childhood hero, the 27-year-old hoped to stage the biggest fight of the 21st century against ‘Kid Dynamite’. With that said, what do you make of Bayless’ argument?
