Fans suggest Mike Tyson could be 'in trouble' as new training footage emerges ahead of fight against Jake Paul on 20th July
Mike Tyson is going to step back into the boxing ring to take on Jake Paul this summer - 19 years after his last pro fight.
A crowd of 20,000 packed out the MCI Arena to witness the former undisputed heavyweight world champion in action, fully believing their hero would roll back the clock to produce another scintillating KO.Mike Tyson 'tried to kill' Lennox Lewis in wild sparring session when they were teenagers However, the 'Baddest Man On The Planet' was not the most iconic sporting figure at the MCI Arena that night.
His daughter Laila Ali fought on the undercard, hence his attendance, though he took the time to go and see his friend Tyson before the ring walks.When both fighters did emerge for battle, Tyson came out to no music as he'd famously done before his peak performance against Michael Spinks in 1988.McBride included a hypnotist in his pre-fight preparations and was unfazed.
Earlier in his career, 'Iron Mike' neutralised his opponents' size and weight advantages with speed, power and raw ferocity.But when his offensive had little impact, he began to bring out the dirty tactics seen previously in fights not going his way.He then took a pummelling towards the end of the fifth as he continued to be worn down by his gutsy foe.Both men came out swinging and again ended up in a clinch.
Commentator Steve Albert, whose pre-fight quote now looked rather silly, declared: "Kevin McBride, a journeyman, is making Mike Tyson look like a third-tier heavyweight."With the round coming to a close, McBride leaned on Tyson yet again, this time smothering him to the ground.He stayed sat by the ropes for 15 seconds, then struggled to his feet and made it back to his corner.
"Most likely I'm not gonna fight again. I'm not gonna disrespect the sport by losing to these calibre of fighters."
