Lennox Lewis: "I'm More Worried About Jake Paul"

Former legendary boxer Lennox Lewis shared his thoughts on the upcoming fight between YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul (10-1, 7 KOs) and former undisputed champion Mike Tyson (50-6, 44 KOs).

The British boxing icon is convinced that people shouldn’t worry about 58-year-old "Iron Mike" returning to the ring.

"Why are people concerned about Tyson’s comeback? He knows how to protect himself, and his opponent (Jake Paul) isn’t that strong of a boxer. I’m more concerned about his opponent than Tyson himself," Lewis said.

The fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson is set for November 15 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, USA. Originally scheduled for July 20, the bout was postponed due to a flare-up of Tyson’s ulcer.

The showdown is officially sanctioned as a professional heavyweight bout (over 90.7 kg), and the result will count toward both fighters' records. The event will be streamed on Netflix.
