"Tyson looked at him and left" - Manny Pacquiao's coach on how Mike Tyson reacted to Jake Paul's sparring session
Retired boxing legend Manny Pacquiao's head coach Freddie Roach has revealed how Mike Tyson reacted to Jake Paul's sparring session.
During a recent interview with FightHype, Roach stated that 'The Problem Child' once came to his gym with Tyson. However, as Paul started his sparring session, 'Iron Mike' was quick to leave and go downstairs.
While suggesting that Mike Tyson wanted to go and look at the pictures instead of watching 'The Problem Child' spar, Freddie Roach said:
"[Jake Paul] came with Tyson and Tyson looked at him and left... Yes, Mike Tyson. He watched 30 seconds of him sparring and said, 'Freddie, can we go downstairs and look at the pictures?'
Watch the full interview below:
Freddie Roach didn't reveal exactly when Jake Paul and Mike Tyson came to his gym together. However, it is worth noting that Paul has significantly improved his boxing skills over the years.
'The Problem Child' has gone on to attain a pro-boxing record of 5-0 in his career so far. Paul has been gradually increasing the level of opposition and is currently set to take on Anderson Silva for his sixth professional bout on October 29.
The fight announcement came as a shock to many who believed Jake Paul wouldn't take on the Brazilian since it was a huge risk. However, Paul looks determined to prove his naysayers wrong by sharing the ring with one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time.
