In a recent press conference in New York, former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson addressed critics who questioned his decision to return to the ring at the age of 57. Tyson, who will face YouTuber-turned-fighter Jake Paul in July, admitted that training for his comeback had taken a toll on his body, but he remained undeterred.
Tyson dismissed concerns about his age, stating that his decision to fight again was a "no-brainer." He emphasized his desire to shake up the sports world and expressed confidence in his ability to compete. Despite turning 58 in June, Tyson sees the upcoming bout as an opportunity to make an impact in the boxing scene once again.
While some members of the boxing community, including former heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, have expressed reservations about the fight, Tyson remained unfazed. He dismissed doubters and asserted his readiness for the challenge.
In response, Jake Paul expressed confidence in his ability to deal with Tyson's experience and power. Despite facing skepticism, Paul is determined to prove his critics wrong and emerge victorious in the bout.
Despite the competitive nature of the upcoming fight, Tyson emphasized that he holds no animosity towards Paul. However, he made it clear that once they step into the ring, both fighters must give their all.
Looking ahead, Tyson hinted at the possibility of future fights, but for now, his focus remains on his upcoming showdown with Paul.
