I: What did you make of Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson?
AK: Mike Tyson didn’t must take that struggle; it was so unhappy to see he received beat by a YouTuber who now it’s a must to give respect to as a result of he has boxed very well the previous couple of fights and fought some names like Tommy Fury. However everyone knows Mike Tyson was performed and it was actually robust to see. On the finish of the day, I don’t know why he must do it as a result of he’s such a giant identify.
I’m unsure financially whether or not he wants the cash or not. It’s unhappy to see one of many best going within the ring at people who find themselves on the peak of their profession and younger, robust and hungry. It was like a sparring session, however he was nonetheless getting caught and at his age, he doesn’t must be taking pictures like that.
I: Mike Tyson mentioned he’ll proceed combating, what do you make of it?
AK: That was extra of the adrenaline, and it was struggle discuss. However he must cease and dangle the gloves up he’ll find yourself getting harm. He’s solely getting older and slower; his response time is slowing down, and you might see how he was getting caught. It looks like he couldn’t get his pictures off both.
I: What did you make of Logan Paul’s feedback post-fight?
AK: It aggravated me as a result of you may’t be speaking to a champion like that – one of many heavyweight greats. These guys have began to make boxing develop into a joke and it was a foul day for boxing. Individuals like these YouTubers shouldn’t have the audacity to talk to Mike Tyson like that.
I: What subsequent for Jake Paul?
AK: He retains speaking about eager to struggle an actual champion and get into boxing correctly. Battle an actual struggle, a younger hungry fighter as an alternative of those YouTubers. He received came upon by Tommy Fury however now he must up his recreation to indicate that he belongs in boxing in any other case he’s making a mockery of boxing.
He’s getting huge numbers, making a living and is having fun with the entire fame behind it with TV offers and sponsorships. Boxers need to up their recreation as a result of if these YouTubers proceed taking on, it’ll solely be extra motivation for extra YouTubers to get into boxing and we are able to’t let this occur. That’s why I respect the UFC, one of the best struggle one of the best and so they don’t let YouTubers enter as a result of they are going to be destroyed. In boxing, YouTubers come into it just for paydays.
