White has been critical of Paul, who will fight soon to be 58-year-old Tyson in Texas this summer
UFC chief Dana White has once again slammed Jake Paul for fighting veteran boxer Mike Tyson.
Paul is set to fight Tyson in Arlington, Texas, on July 20. While the fight is viewed by most as a money-maker on both sides, there have been claims that the bout is 'dangerous' given the age difference between the two fighters.
Paul is currently 27 years of age, while Tyson is 57 and will be 58 by the time the fight rolls around. One man who hasn't been impressed by news of the bout is UFC boss White, who recently said: "He gets mad when I do this, but Mike's 60, man. I don't know, what do you guys think about it?
"Who gives a s*** what I think? It's not my fight. I love Mike Tyson personally as a friend, and he's one of my favorite athletes of all time.
"I don't know, let's see what he can go in there and put together a training camp and come in. I don't like to see guys fighting at it'd be a 31-year age difference during that fight. You guys know what I think of that stuff."
White renews his attack
White recently featured on the 'Pound 4 Pound' podcast when he was asked about the fight again. Asked about whether Paul wants to build his reputation as a serious fighter, White replied: "But he doesn't, what Jake wants is to make money.
"The people who follow Jake Paul don't buy Jake Paul's fights. So Jake Paul has to fight people who can actually sell PPVs"
As for Tyson's role in taking on the bout, he continued: "Mike's a grown a- man, he can do whatever the F, he wants and I'm going to stay out of Mike's f'in business"
