Ex Heavyweight Champ Lewis Predicts Mike Tyson To Throw Jake Paul

The former heavyweight champion, Mike Tyson is going to hit the ring again by November since after many years of retirement. The 58-year old boxer who took his last professional fight in 2005 will be taking on an eight-round context in Texas with a notable American YouTuber who is now an emerging boxer.

Lennox Lewis, the 1990s reputed heavyweight champion has spoken ahead of time against the anticipated match between Jake Paul and Tyson. Lewis who was an heavyweight rival to Tyson has tipped Tyson to throw the 31 year old younger boxer by November 15.

59-year old Lewis who retired in 2004 predicted that Jake Paul will "be in trouble" in the hands of Mike Tyson. He was convinced that Mike would employ his experience of professional boxing, and his reputation for fierce punches to his advantage.

"It's hard to box when you're that old, moving around the ring, throwing punches, getting punches thrown at you, but I think he can handle it," Lewis told Sky Sports.

"I was thinking that Jake Paul was going to be in trouble, because Mike Tyson knows how to throw great body punches, great head shots. We just have to see if he's going to do them in the ring - I'm hoping that he'll do that."

"[I expect to see] Mike Tyson just kind of cutting off the ring and throwing body and head blows, when he can catch up to Jake Paul," Lewis added.

"I'm sure Jake Paul will be moving fast, moving around the ring. He's not going to want to stand there and get hit by Mike Tyson! I'll be there and it's going to be exciting."

Jake Paul who switched career from being a YouTube star to a professional fighter is as well confident in throwing the "old beast". Moreover, he has cleared 10 out of his 11 previous fights. Speaking about Paul's switch, Lewis says to Skysport:

"It's good and bad," Lewis admitted. "A lot of boxers that are out there training hard and working and trying to get a shot at the championship don't get a chance.

"All of a sudden, a YouTuber comes along and gets all the excitement, all the praise and the money. So, in that way, it's not fair."
