Though, he\u2019d \u201clove\u201d to see a massive upset take place. When Jake Paul and Mike Tyson first announced that they\u2019d be fighting, plenty of critics jumped on the fight. They were quick to point to the massive age gap between the pair, as well as the fact that Tyson hasn\u2019t fought regularly for over two decades. The first fight date \u2013 July 20 \u2013 had to be scrapped after \u2018Iron\u2019 Mike suffered an ulcer flare-up. It has since been rearranged for November 15 and it looks to be progressing ahead. However, the 58-year-old will undergo stringent medical tests just 24 hours before he is due to step into the ring. If he does step into there to fight the \u2018Problem Child\u2019, Tyson is actually set to be the underdog. Ben Askren, who fought Jake in his third professional fight, believes that the YouTuber-turned-boxer will win, but would \u201clove\u201d it if he got upset by the heavyweight legend. \u201cI feel like that\u2019s how it\u2019s gonna go, it\u2019s gonna be competitive early,\u201d Askren told Daniel Cormier. \u201c58 is old and he\u2019s probably gonna get tired and, yeah. It\u2019s not a win-win. You\u2019re beating up a 58-year-old. He\u2019s 58. He hasn\u2019t been actively competitive in twenty years.\u201d The former MMA star said it would be a \u201cbackfire\u201d if Jake lost, but he doubts the YouTuber would lose. \u201cWouldn\u2019t we all love to see it (Tyson winning)? Let\u2019s not get our hopes up,\u201d he added. \u201cSanta may not bring you anything nice, but if he does it\u2019ll be a great surprise.\u201d As noted, Jake has full confidence that the fight goes ahead and hasn\u2019t drafted in a backup fighter. A win over Tyson would be a nice scalp, but it isn\u2019t going to get him into the world title scene.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Jake Paul opponent makes big prediction for Mike Tyson fight YouTube: BS w\/ Jake PaulOne of Jake Paul\u2019s oldest boxing rivals has made a big prediction for his upcoming fight with Mike Tyson.
