JAKARTA - The world boxing legend, Mike Tyson, is known to be in Saudi Arabia. The world boxing legend will witness the fight between Jake Paul and Tommy Fury.

The second duel is scheduled to take place on Sunday, February 26. Tyson will be a special guest in the prestige-laden fight between Paul and Tommy.

Tyson admits he can't wait to watch Jake Paul's fight. So what is Tyson's prediction?

Quoted from The Sun, the heavyweight icon seems to be more inclined to favor Jake Paul in the upcoming fight. The reason is, Tyson admitted that he did not know much about the figure of Tommy Fury, who was Paul's opponent.

“Hey look, I've only seen (Jake) Paul, I've never seen (Tommy) Fury's fight. I don't know, I've never seen Fury's fight," said Mike Tyson quoted from The Sun on Friday, February 24.

As for Jake Paul, Tyson knows him well enough because the man who is also a YouTuber had beaten former NBA star, Nate Robinson. That moment occurred the night Tyson returned to the ring for an exhibition fight.

“Well, he (Jake Paul) does have boxing experience. He's boxed before and he's won against people he shouldn't have beaten,” said Tyson about Paul, who had beaten former MMA champion Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, and Anderson Silva.

"And look, I don't think they brought him in here either, because he's good for fighting and good for boxing,"

“He makes more money than any boxing champ. So he is an enigma," said Tyson about Paul.

Mike Tyson, who drew in his comeback fight against Roy Jones, then urged people to give Jake Paul the respect he deserves.

“Anyone who doesn't (respect) has gone mad. He makes more money for fighters,” said Mike Tyson.
