'Jake Paul is shameless': Fans slam influencer boxer after video of Mike Tyson walking with cane resurfaces
Boxing legend and World Heavyweight Champion, Mike Tyson will face YouTuber-turned-boxer, Jake Paul on July 20, 2024, at the AT&T Stadium in Texas. However, Jake Paul who is almost 30 years younger than Tyson is not leaving any stone unturned to show his aggression and thereby making a big hue and cry of the match.
On Thursday, a KSI, another boxer and rival of Jake Paul, taunted him for facing a 57-year-old former boxer. A fan then shared another video that showed Mike Tyson walking with a stick. It left several of Mike Tyson’s fans worried about the health of Tyson.
However, the truth is, this video is 2 years old, and it was uploaded in July 2022, when Mike Tyson had some back issues.
A fan later issued a clarification saying that the video was an old one, and even called Jake Paul shameless, “This was Mike Tyson two years ago using a cane to walk ffs Jake Paul is one shameless individual.”
Prankster turned Boxer-Jake Paul
Jake Paul isn’t a long-time professional boxer, instead, he is a prankster who got into professional wrestling. Last year, Jake Paul lost the bout against boxer and reality star, Tommy Fury. Since his debut in professional boxing in January 2020, Paul has a record of 9 wins and 1 loss, with 6 knockouts.
Paul has been sharing a lot of stuff on X, involving Mike Tyson. In a recent update, he posted a video of Mike Tyson practicing inside the ring and wrote, “He’s the greatest heavyweight of all time…the most vicious KO artist ever. But I’m younger, I’m faster and I’m going to be working my ass off to get stronger. A member of my team sent me this video that Mike’s coach put up two weeks ago and asked me if I’m sure that I want to do this…yes, yes I do. Heavyweight..”
