Shane Mosley Jr., 33, is currently in urgent need of a new promotion or a renewed contract with Golden Boy. Although he is near the end of his prime with no major title on his resume, Mosley Jr. is averse to following in the footsteps of Mike Tyson and fighting in either his 40s or 50s. In his latest appearance on The Rich Eisen Show, Mosley Jr, besides lauding Jake Paul, revealed if he would face Mike Tyson before hanging his gloves!

Although Mike Tyson has turned 58, he wants to and will face Jake Paul this November at AT&T Stadium, Arlington. Should this decision taken by Tyson motivate other boxers to continue boxing way past their prime? Honest, Shane Mosley Jr. feels otherwise.

Unlike his father Shane Mosley who had his last fight at age 44, Mosley Jr. thinks it is ideal that he achieves all his goals in the sport by the end of his prime. As per the 33-year-old boxer who formerly held the WBO NABO Middleweight title, fighting past one’s prime for financial or other reasons means one failed in the sport of boxing.

“To be honest I feel like if I haven’t got all I need to get out of this game before I’m 40, it wasn’t meant for me,” he said on The Rich Eisen Show. While for Mosley Jr. fighting past one’s prime exposes failure, one must mention that Mike Tyson is mostly motivated to fight at 58 by the desire to take up a new challenge.

Anyway, after Mosley Jr. lauded Paul for the latter’s contribution to the prosperity of the sport, he was asked if he would like to face Mike Tyson too. Mosley Jr. had a hilarious response.

When can Shane Mosley Jr. fight Mike Tyson?

On The Rich Eisen Show, the 33-year-old was greatly appreciative of Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul. In his opinion, a fight like that can generate an impressive number of fans as well as money, ultimately helping every other boxer in the sport. In this connection, Mosley Jr. was asked how old Mike Tyson would have to be for him to take on ‘Kid Dynamite.’ In his response, Mosley Jr. said, “He would have to be pretty old.”

As everyone started laughing, Mosley Jr. added, “They have weight classes for a reason. Jake Paul is a little bigger than me. He can hold that weight a little bit better.” In other words, as Jake Paul is bigger than Mosley Jr. in size, ‘The Problem Child’ has the capacity for a match against Tyson.
