Ahead of his upcoming bout against boxing legend Mike Tyson, UFC commentator Joe Rogan believes that Jake Paul should be feeling the pressure. Rogan, known for his candid commentary, suggests that Paul should be “s***ting his pants” as he prepares to face the “savage” Tyson in the ring.
The highly anticipated showdown between Paul, the YouTube star-turned-fighter, and Tyson, the former heavyweight champion, is scheduled to take place at Texas’ AT&T Stadium in July. While Tyson, at 57 years old, may seem past his prime, his reputation as a fearsome competitor still looms large.
Rogan shed light on Tyson’s intense preparation, revealing that the boxing icon has adopted a diet consisting of raw meat to enter what he describes as a “God of War” mode. With Tyson’s formidable track record of 50 wins, including 44 knockouts, Paul, who is 30 years younger, faces a daunting challenge.
Despite Paul’s relatively impressive record of 9-1, Rogan believes that Tyson’s experience and dominance in the ring could give him a significant advantage. Tyson’s history as a “conqueror” still resonates within him, making him a formidable opponent for anyone who dares to step into the ring with him.
However, Rogan acknowledges the risk that Paul is taking by agreeing to fight Tyson, highlighting the YouTube star’s courage in facing off against a boxing legend. While Paul may be banking on Tyson’s age to level the playing field, Rogan warns that underestimating Tyson’s prowess could prove disastrous for the young fighter.
As the countdown to the highly anticipated bout continues, the tension and excitement surrounding the matchup only continue to grow. Whether Paul can defy the odds and emerge victorious against the legendary Mike Tyson remains to be seen, but one thing is for certain: come fight night, all eyes will be on the ring as two generations collide in a battle for supremacy.
