Netflix has announced that it will be broadcasting a live boxing match between influencer Jake Paul and the legendary Mike Tyson.
Sports reporter Dan Le Batard has expressed his belief that Tyson will dominate the fight, stating that Paul has no chance unless Tyson goes easy on him.
Le Batard even went as far as saying that he would be surprised if the fight lasted more than 30 seconds.

He described Paul as “awful” and highlighted Tyson’s superior power and technical skills.
Le Batard thinks Tyson has the potential to knock out Paul, as he has done with more qualified opponents in his career.
Despite Le Batard’s personal feelings towards Paul, he is confident that this will be a clear victory for Tyson.
The fight will be streamed live on Netflix from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on July 20th.
Paul’s previous opponents have included fellow YouTubers and former MMA fighters. However, this match with Tyson represents a more significant challenge for Paul.
Tyson, even at the age of 57, is a formidable opponent with an impressive professional record and numerous titles. His most recent fight was an exhibition against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020.
Le Batard emphasized that Paul has never faced a fighter like Tyson before and believes Tyson would be the overwhelming favorite to knock him out.
It remains uncertain if Le Batard will still be involved in the coverage of the fight.
Fans reacted as follows:
Famous names last longer than famous bodies. Tyson is 57 years old.

Mike wasn't any good when he retired 20 years ago and to be honest for some time before that. Is he better now ? LOL. Bad move by Mike, nothing to gain.

I get it people don't like him . I don't care either way . But if you get a chance to fight Mike Tyson then you do it . Not many people can say they have .

Someone that’s never done any physical activity looking like he looks should likely sit this one out.

I will never understand why folks do tattoos to permanently decorate their skin.
They really need to see how awful it looks at age 70.

I wouldn’t pay for Paul v Tyson….but I would pay for Paul v LiBatard and Stu Gotz.

Mike trains almost daily. Who would u put your money on… a man that appreciates what it takes to make it with his fists or a boy who made it with his mouth?
