UFC champ so concerned for Mike Tyson in Jake Paul fight he refuses to watch NetflixMike Tyson\u2019s return to the ring against influencer-turned-boxer Jake Paul has one UFC champion so concerned about \u2018Iron Mike\u2019 that he won\u2019t be tuning in to see the result. Jake Paul is slated to fight his biggest opponent yet this summer when Mike Tyson returns in Netflix\u2019s first-ever live boxing event, but UFC star Tom Aspinall doesn\u2019t think it\u2019s a good idea. According to DAZN, the interim UFC Heavyweight Champion believes that, while it\u2019s good to see Mike training for his big comeback match, he doesn\u2019t want to see Tyson, who will be 58 when the fight happens, to take Paul\u2019s big punches. \u201cTraining for a fight gives you so much discipline and health and confidence and all that good stuff, so if Mike Tyson\u2019s training that\u2019s fantastic, because he obviously is getting up there in age, but he still looks great,\u201d Aspinall explained. \u201cBut as far as getting punched in the head, after all the getting punched in the head he\u2019s done over the years, I\u2019d rather not see it I guess,\u201d he added. \u201cIt\u2019s meant to be entertainment I guess, but it\u2019s not my scene.\u201d The UFC champ went on to compare the fight to how some people enjoy watching tennis, but for him, this type of match is something he wants no part of. \u201cI\u2019m sure people will watch, but I don\u2019t enjoy this stuff,\u201d the KO specialist remarked. Aspinall is hardly the only fighter to take issue with Jake Paul and Mike Tyson agreeing to face off. Former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland also called out \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 for the fight and said the match itself is \u201cpathetic.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
