It was already an inflammatory match and quite possibly – did not deliver on expectations when it occurred. Shouts of boos were made by the people in the last two rounds since they thought nothing was happening.
Subsequently the two shower each other with compliments. Paul said: I’ve had the pleasure to talk to this man, he said I’m going to fight him, it’s like, no, I’m just privileged to be able to get into the ring with this icon. And he’s of course the strongest, meanest guy on earth.”
Tyson, 58, said Paul is a great fighter but rubbishedclaims that he is out to prove a point.
“I didn’t prove nothing to anybody but myself,” he stated that.
Boxing careers compared
This was not Paul’s first professional fight. The american youtuber begun his journey in 2020, and his most notable fight was in the previous year with another boxer Tommy Fury, a brother to Tyson fury which he loss to by split decision.

I have used quotations in order to provide contrast between Jimmy and “Iron Mike” Tyson, who was considered to be among the best heavyweight boxers in the whole world.
In his career he kсоkk in the rοunt 44 ορроnizers – retired frοm рrοfessiσnal bσxing in 2005 after the battle frοm McBride.
He came back to the squared circle in 2020 to fight fellow boxer legend Roy Jones, the fight was ruled an eight-round tie.
’One is going to be put to sleep’
Earlier this week, Paul said he expected it not to go the distance, meaning there will be a knockout. ‘Well, no they’re getting put to sleep’ he argued. It is going to be a fight and we are both giants. However, they will be doing it somewhere in-between 16 minutes.”
Tyson said: Obviously, a lot has happened to me since the last fight against Kevin McBride.
“I’ve been in rehab. I said I’ve been in prison, I’ve been locked up. It feels so good to be here and God knows I never thought I’d be doing this in a million years.
Some states would ban the bout while the Texas Athletic Commission only permitted the fight under certain conditions because of Tyson.
It reduced the contest to only eight that each could not take more than two minutes as opposed to three. And both boxers were also forced to use big size gloves that are used in professional boxing because they diminish the impact of blow.
It was planned for 20 July 2020 but it was shifted when Tyson had a flareup of the ulcer.
