This one won't be like the Roy Jones Jr. fight because he knows Jake is young and wants to knock him out. If those videos of Mike tyson sparring didn't convince you already, wait and see the videos that will come from him during training camp.
Oscar de la Hoya issues Jake Paul a warning
After this announcement for July 20th happened, there were those who still think that the age difference will be important for this fight. But Oscar de la Hoya is convinced this will be Jake Paul's toughest challenge to date. Despite not liking the idea of them fighting, Oscar thinks Mike Tyson will still cause problems for Jake Paul.
In fact, he is more concerned about Mike Tyson's legacy for fighting a boxer who is not on his level. In a recent interview for FightHype, De la Hoya made it clearhe doesn't want for this fight to happen but he understands why they both took the opportunity. People are going to watch this fight and it will make a lot of money.
Here's what Oscar said: "Jake Paul, you say you want to be a world champion, you say you want to take this sport seriously - then take it seriously. What is this? This is not a popularity contest. I'm actually praising Jake Paul for taking this [sport] seriously, because I really feel that if he fights the right fights and takes the right path to that world title, he can actually get there. I'm not sure - because it's up to him if he can win it - but he can get there. But he's not going to get there through Mike Tyson. He's going to make a s**t-ton of money. He's going to gain more popularity at Mike Tyson's expense. Do I like it? No, because I love Mike Tyson. It will not be dangerous for Tyson because Tyson has been in the ring with monsters. He has a chin. I'm sure he can still go six rounds, seven rounds, eight rounds. But I'm just concerned about Tyson's legacy."
