“Mike Is an Old Man Now”: Boxing Fans Battle Over Mike Tyson and Jake Paul as Jorge Masvidal Sparks Debate With His Post

Iron Mike won 19 times by knockout, 12 out of them came in the very 1st round. These facts are enough to understand the dominance Mike Tyson had over his opponents.

The edited creative picturization had excited fans, but the opinion seems to be swaying towards ‘Kid Dynamite’

UFC welterweight fighter Masvidal shared a fan-fiction picture on Facebook that showed Jake Paul in the ring with the legend Mike Tyson. While the fight may have been a very expensive one if it ever happened, fans have clearly placed their faith in the old horse.
