"He got 10 haymakers for sure" - UFC veteran not writing off "scary as sh*t" Mike Tyson's chances against Jake Paul
Jake Paul is set to face boxing legend Mike Tyson in their professional boxing match on Nov.15 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping shared his thoughts on this fight and offered his predictions on the outcome.
Speaking on his Believe You Me podcast, Bisping discussed the upcoming fight between Paul and Tyson with UFC light heavyweight, Anthony Smith. The 45-year-old stated that Tyson still has the power in him and could flatline Jake Paul, saying:
"I’ve seen him in there with Rafael Cordeiro, hitting pads. He still looks scary as sh*t. He’s still got two or three good rounds in him, simple as that. He’s got 10 haymakers for sure, without question. Jake Paul swings, and he's sluggish. Mike Tyson's gonna get on the inside, and for two, maybe three rounds, he's got it in him. After that, he’ll slow down, but you never know—he might just knock him out and flatline Jake Paul."

‘The Problem Child’ is going into the bout with confidence, as his last victory, a TKO against former UFC fighter Mike Perry, brought his record to 10-1. Meanwhile, Tyson's last professional fight was in 2005, where he suffered a loss against Kevin McBride.

Tyson last fought Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition match in 2020, which ended in a draw. Many are curious as to how the former heavyweight champion will perform. Others, however, have been critical of the bout, given Tyson's age. For those reasons, it will certainly be interesting to see how this bout plays out.
