Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul predictions from Tyson Fury, KSI, Carl Froch and more

Mike Tyson and Jake Paul are eight months after they stirred up the boxing world by announcing their controversial fight.

The pair were originally scheduled to duel in July, but due to an ulcer flare-up experienced during a flight from Miami to Los Angeles. Tyson later shared that he had collapsed and coughed up blood.

Nonetheless, asserts that he has recovered enough to enter the ring for the first time since four years ago.

In his last appearance, Tyson secured a draw with fellow icon Roy Jones Jr in an eight-round exhibition match. However, is acknowledged as a professional fight, with both fighters vowing to knock out their opponent.

Ahead of this fascinating contest, notable figures from the boxing community have been weighing in with their predictions.

Anthony Joshua: "Mike Tyson is older now. I pray that he comes out healthy. I think Jake Paul wins because of youth that's the only thing."

Prediction: Jake Paul

Tyson Fury: "If Mike Tyson hits anybody, I don't care if he's 90, he's going to knock them out cold isn't he? He's Iron Mike Tyson, the baddest man on the planet. Jake Paul is very experienced now and he's had a lot of fights but obviously, I have to back Mike Tyson for the knockout as he always backs me."

DON'T MISS

KSI: "Jake Paul will knock out Mike Tyson. This will not be close at all. Boxing is a young man's game and Mike is 58 years old. They're sending a lamb to the slaughter and it's disgusting. It is what it is. I still think he's going to absolutely destroy Mike Tyson because Mike Tyson is old, he's old as f***. And when he does get obliterated and then people on Twitter are going to be like, "how did we let this happen? Oh no, this is so bad! I'm going to be the one being like,'Well, I f****** told you,'"

Prediction: Jake Paul

Conor McGregor: "Don't give a b*******. They're wearing 14-oz gloves. It's two-minute rounds, is it? It's two-minute rounds? Who gives a b*******. I hope he [Tyson] rattles that little dope [Paul]. No one gives a f*** about him. How is that even in the f***ing Dallas Stadium? What's going on? "

Prediction: Jake Paul

Lennox Lewis: "Mike Tyson's gonna win. He's not that old. Don't take him too softly. We're one year apart, you can fight somebody like that and do well, because the person you're fighting is not a 'true' fighter and there's a hundred things that you've forgotten that he's learning."

Prediction: Mike Tyson

Amir Khan: "I am concerned. Yeah, 100 per cent. Every fight you go into, especially at the age he's at - is he going to take it seriously? I think so, but how seriously is he going to take it. We don't really want it to get to that here fighters who have been world champions, and been up there as one of the best out there, now being beaten by YouTubers? It's not a good look for boxing."

Prediction: Jake Paul

Carl Froch: "I think it's going to be a one-sided whooping, and Jake Paul is going to beat him in four or five rounds, as Mike Tyson will get absolutely knackered and probably fall over. Mike Tyson shouldn't be in there with a young man. If he gets knocked out and badly hurt, he's getting knocked out by a geezer who used to be a TikTok dancer that can't box. Does Mike Tyson really need to be jumping in there with Jake Paul? It's a shame it's come to this. It would be fantastic if Tyson goes in there and puts a whooping on him and lands a couple of shots, but the reality is I don't think he's going to be allowed to catch him."
