Mike Tyson's last opponent didn't hold back with worrying verdict on Jake Paul fight

Boxing legend Roy Jones Jr has given his verdict on the upcoming fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul.The fight took place over eight rounds and was scored by the WBC, as well as being classed as an exhibition rather than a professional bout. It ended in a draw.Tyson's last fight at professional level was his 2005 loss to American fighter Kevin McBride, which prompted his retirement from the sport.

He told The Lunch Club: "If it's a fight, it's very intriguing how it may turn out, because Jake Paul has gotten a lot better as a boxer over the days. "I like Jake Paul, he's a good guy, and he's doing good with his boxing stuff. I think it's a good promotional situation for him and Mike - they should do really good numbers, especially having upgraded to a real fight.

"If Jake can stay away from him for four or five rounds, then Jake has a chance, but he's going to have to do a lot of manoeuvring to stay away from him."
