In a heated press conference on Thursday ahead of the long-awaited Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury showdown, we were blessed with a Mike Tyson prediction as he featured on a special panel, and will be in attendance as a special guest on Sunday night. The Baddest Man on the Planet gave his take ahead of the bout, and expects his compatriot to maintain his 100% record.
Mike Tyson has been a keen follower of Jake Paul since the YouTuber ventured into the world of boxing, and the former undisputed heavyweight champion shared a card with him on the night of his comeback fight against Roy Jones Jr in 2020.
Paul has so far registered a clean sweep of victories across his six fights, registering four wins by way of knockout including a shattering blow to floor Tyron Woodley in their second fight. However, the 26-year-old is yet to face a recognised boxer, and although Tommy Fury has little credibility in the fighting world, he has considerably more experience having trained since he was a child.
Although Mike Tyson is of course familiar with his namesake Tyson Fury, Tommy’s older brother and two-time heavyweight champion, he admitted he had never seen his younger sibling in the ring ahead of Sunday’s fight.

He said: “Hey, listen, I only saw [Jake] Paul, I’ve never seen Fury fight. I don’t know, I never saw Fury fight.
“Paul does have boxing experience. He boxed before because it shows in his fights and he’s won against people that he shouldn’t beat.”
Tyson also went on to comment on whether Paul’s infiltration of the sport is good for boxing, with his social media platform and YouTube following giving him unprecedented access to fights people train their whole lives to reach.
He said: “I don’t think they brought him here to lose either, because he’s good for fighting and is good for boxing.
“He makes more money than the champions of boxing. So he’s an enigma.
“Whoever don’t [respect him] is out of their mind. He’s making more money for the fighters.”
