Tyron Woodley Sees Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson as an “Even Match”
The highly anticipated fight between 58-year-old boxing legend Mike Tyson and YouTube sensation Jake Paul is set to take place on November 15 at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas. With Tyson’s extensive experience and Paul’s recent success in boxing, fans are eager to see how the match will unfold. Tyron Woodley, former UFC welterweight champion and two-time opponent of Paul, has offered his unique perspective on the bout, labeling it a “very even fight.” Woodley believes Tyson’s age introduces an unpredictable factor but still sees Tyson’s skill and power as major advantages.
According to Woodley, Tyson’s experience outweighs the age gap, giving him the upper hand over the 27-year-old Paul.
“When he was in his prime, his matches were almost murder attempts. If Tyson’s muscle memory kicks in, he can still unleash lethal combinations,”
Woodley explained, adding that Tyson’s power remains formidable enough to impact any opponent, even with age considerations.

Despite his support for Tyson, Woodley commends Paul’s strategic approach to fight selection.
“Jake always puts himself in a win-win situation, where a loss doesn’t harm his reputation. He carefully picks opponents who, even if he loses, make him look good for having tried,” Woodley said.
This strategic choice has allowed Paul to continue building his career and fan base without risking his growing reputation.
Tyson last fought in an exhibition against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020, which ended in a draw. Paul’s most recent bout was a decisive TKO victory over former UFC fighter Mike Perry, which showcased Paul’s improvement in skill and stamina. However, many experts, including Woodley, question if Paul can handle Tyson’s legacy and power in the ring. For Woodley, the fight’s outcome remains uncertain, though he leans towards Tyson based on sheer experience and fighting instincts that come with years in the ring.
