“A No-Win Situation”

Jake Paul, known for stirring up controversy in his boxing career, is set to face 58-year-old Mike Tyson on November 15 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. UFC legend Daniel Cormier, who has closely followed Paul’s boxing trajectory, is highly critical of this matchup and believes it is a lose-lose scenario for Paul no matter the outcome.

Cormier’s Concerns About the Fight

Cormier has expressed his views on the potential consequences of the fight during various discussions, including a podcast appearance with Ben Askren, one of Paul’s former opponents. According to Cormier, if Paul manages to knock out Tyson, it would not be seen as a legitimate victory but rather criticized because Tyson is far past his prime at 58 years old.

On the flip side, Cormier believes a loss to Tyson could be devastating for Paul’s career. He pointed out that should Paul lose to an aging Tyson, it would be one of the biggest backfires in boxing history, marking a humiliating setback for the YouTuber-turned-boxer.

Paul’s Previous Fights Highlighted by Cormier

Cormier also referenced Jake Paul’s previous fight against Mike Perry, where Paul was pressured and appeared uncomfortable before ultimately pulling off a win thanks to his youth and stamina. Cormier contrasted this with Tyson’s situation, noting that Tyson may not have the energy reserves necessary to challenge Paul, who is 30 years younger.

The Potential Impact of Tyson Knocking Out Paul

Cormier further speculated on the catastrophic implications if Tyson were to knock out Paul. He remarked,

“If Mike knocks him out, then it’s over. Everything’s done. It would be an all-time backfire. Nothing like that has ever happened in the sport’s history if he gets knocked out by a 58-year-old”.

Jake Paul, who has bounced back with four consecutive wins since his loss to Tommy Fury in early 2023, faces a daunting challenge, not just physically but reputationally, against the iconic Tyson, who has not fought professionally since 2005.
