Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight won\u2019t happen according to his sparring partner Instagram: Jake Paul\/Mike TysonAnthony Taylor, Jake Paul\u2019s boxing sparring partner, doesn\u2019t believe the YouTuber will eventually square off with Mike Tyson. However, he believes a fight with Canelo would be \u201ccompetitive.\u201d After putting his own boxing career on hold to help promote the super fight between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, Jake Paul will be stepping back into the ring on August 12. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has yet to announce his opponent, but there has been plenty of rumors and speculation around who he will be squaring off against. Former Heavyweight king and boxing icon \u2018Iron\u2019 Mike Tyson has been one of the most interesting names mentioned, especially as the 55-year-old said he\u2019d take the fight. While it\u2019s unlikely that Tyson will be in fighting shape come August, the possibility of him and Jake fighting down the road has also been mooted. However, part of Jake\u2019s camp is unsure about that. Anthony \u2018Pretty Boy\u2019 Taylor, one of Jake\u2019s regular sparring partners and someone who has fought on the undercards for his fights, thinks that the mutual respect between Jake and \u2018Iron\u2019 Mike will prevent it from happening. \u201cI really don\u2019t see Jake Paul and Mike Tyson fighting just because they\u2019re very good friends. They have too much mutual respect between them to be involved in having a fight,\u201d Taylor told MyBettingSites. \u201cMaybe I\u2019m missing something, maybe they are going to fight, but I just don\u2019t really see Mike going in there any time soon with Jake, I would be surprised.\u201d Aside from fighting Tyson, the Cruiserweight believes Jake could be \u201ccompetitive\u201d with Saul \u2018Canelo\u2019 Alvarez in a few years\u2019 time, especially given the skills he\u2019s already put on display. As noted, Tyson has already registered his interest in fighting Jake, given the payday that would come with it. Though, he\u2019s unsure if the social media star could stay out of trouble in the pre-fight build-up. It\u2019ll be interesting to see who Jake takes on come the summer, and should he win, it\u2019ll be doubly intriguing to see who he plans to go after next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
