Mike Tyson starts training camp for Jake Paul fight
UFC boss Dana White pulled no punches as he shared his honest thoughts on ‘Iron’ Mike coming back.
Former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland destroyed Paul for facing Tyson in an astonishing rant.
Joe Rogan, however, has backed Tyson to beat Paul.
And Fury has echoed the same sentiment, giving a shock prediction.
The self-proclaimed ‘Gypsy King’ has supported Tyson returning to the sport and calls his against Paul an ‘even match’.
Speaking to The Stomping Ground, he said: “I think it’s fantastic for boxing.
“You’ve got a legend in Mike Tyson. You’ve got a YouTube boxer [Jake Paul]. He has come into the game and blew it up and he’s got millions of followers and millions of views and millions of eyes. Good, bad or indifferent. Some people love him, some people hate him.
“So, I think it’s a really good spectacle for boxing. Brings a lot of people to the game.”

Fury added: “Listen, who am I to say, ‘Oh, Mike Tyson shouldn’t be boxing or Jake Paul shouldn’t be boxing’, good luck to ’em. They’re both gonna make what I call a sh*t ton of money out of it. So, isn’t that what it’s about?
“[They’re fighting at] a great stadium,” Fury referenced AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys.
“It’d be fantastic for the guys both getting paid, both gonna put on a show. I just don’t know what’s not to like. Oh, okay, [Tyson’s] 57 years old, but he’s a former undisputed world heavyweight king, and [Paul] plays computers for a living and he’s come to boxing about a year ago. So, pretty even match.
“From being a kid on the Disney Channel to fighting Mike Tyson. Who wouldn’t want to do that?… People say, ‘Oh, it’s sh*t’, this, that and the other.
“But, I bet they still watch it. Who’s not intrigued?”
