There have been buzz regarding a possible bout between the legendary pro boxer Mike Tyson and YouTuber-turned-pro-boxer Jake Paul. It seems that UFC star Sean O’Malley is not sure whether the fight would transpire but he assured that he would definitely go and see it live if it takes place.
Sean O’ Malley opens up on the potential bout
‘Iron Mike’ is seemingly convinced with the idea of boxing either Paul brother, or at least getting paid a ridiculous amount of money to fight the Pauls. In a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, Mike Tyson once again expressed interest in the idea, adding that Jake Paul kept beating opponents no one thought he could beat.
Jake has gone 5-0 as a professional boxer and his last three fights, in particular, have gained mainstream attention. The 25 year old knocked out Ben Askren in one round and then beat Tyron Woodley twice; first via points and the second time thanks to a stunning knockout. His next fight could be a big-money one.
That news got back to Sean O’Malley’s coach Tim Welsh, who brought it up on the latest episode of O’Malley’s TimboSugarShow podcast. Welsh said:
“I saw Mike Tyson talking about Jake Paul and giving him props and stuff and Jake Paul tweets, saying we’re going to make it [Paul vs. Tyson] happen this year. Yeah. I mean, the way he fought, though? If he’s juiced up, dude? If he’s got some little special sauce, he’s still scary.”
O’Malley replied:
“Mike’s like sixty, right? Fifty five. Rogan said Tyson’s on everything. But just watching him walk, he looks older. He’s been f***ing fighting for so long. We’d definitely go.”
The YouTube sensation Logan Paul recently revealed that his brother Jake Paul is going through a tough time. It seems Jake is ‘poor’ after the cryptocurrency market dipped. It was just last month that Celebrity Net Worth estimated that Paul was worth around a whopping $50million. It was believed that the Problem Child made $40m fighting last year alone. However, it appears he has lost large chunks of his fortune after the crypto crash.
