Mike Tyson prediction made for next fight despite one-sided Jake Paul loss
Share:
Former heavyweight world champion Mike Tyson has been tipped by AI to make another return to the squared-circle despite his defeat to Jake Paul. The 58-year-old announced his retirement from the sport of boxing back in 2005 after suffering to former Irish boxer Kevin McBride. However, the American boxing veteran stunned the boxing community after announcing his decision to take on Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition bout back in 2020. The contest failed to impresses the masses as it turned out to be a rather dull and uninspiring showdown.
Four years later and Tyson was back in the ring again, but this time in a professional setting - taking on Paul. While many felt as if 'Iron Mike' could roll back the years, his age showed on fight night. Despite not being able to secure a knockout finish, 'The Problem Child' got his hand raised via unanimous decision.
While many are hoping November's outing was the last time fans will get to see Tyson in the ring, Marca recently asked AI if it's likely the 58-year-old will fight again - and the results are staggering. AI believes Tyson's motivations could be more financial than competitive, suggesting: "Financial incentives could tempt him back for one final exhibition." When asked who the 58-year-old could face next inside the squared-circle, AI revealed two names: "Likely Logan Paul, who he called out, or a fellow aging legend like Evander Holyfield.".
Following showdown with Paul, much was made of Tyson's performance as the former world champion seemingly lost all of his energy after the second round. Should he fight again, AI believes the American will struggle, revealing: "Tyson's performance would likely be underwhelming again.".
