JAKARTA - After the duel with Hasim Rahman Jr. was canceled, Jake Paul had already thought of three rivals to realize the next fight. The YouTuber talks about a roster that will help him improve his experience in the ring.
According to Paul himself, Mike Tyson is a boxer he definitely wants to face. He's not speaking as a fan, the plan is to actually meet the former heavyweight champion in the ring.
"I think ideally Mike Tyson would be a potential opponent. We've been teasing that it could happen later this year or early next year," Paul said in an interview with the DAZN Boxing Show, quoted from Marca, Wednesday.
Two other potential Jake Paul contenders are Nate Diaz and Anderson Silva who could be part of the main event in December 2022 or during the first months of 2023.
Silva and Diaz are at the top of that list so these three might currently be the top three.
Is Mike Tyson interested in fighting Jake Paul?Paul has tried to contact Tyson, who is considered one of the greatest boxers of all time, particularly in the heavyweight division. But, this fight won't happen unless Tyson gets paid far more than what Paul offers his rivals.
After retiring, Tyson continued to train and get ready to box every day. The former champion is constantly using his social media to prove he still has a mortal blow.
However, Paul is often criticized for fighting retired boxers or people who are not pro in the sport.
