Mike Tyson On Paul Brothers
“We started a genre and now we’ve got guys like Logan Paul doing this stuff. I think Logan Paul is a big shot in the arm for boxing. No boxer has ever brought that many people to the network like Logan Paul did and I think he’s good for boxing, he brings money to boxing,” Tyson said. He also praised Jake Paul in addition.
“I think he should too [fight a boxer], but these guys are very emotional and they want him to fight him so bad they forget that he’s a trained fighter,” he continued. “He’s going to make them believe that they can really beat this guy because he’s white with blonde hair and blue eyes, and then they go in the ring and something different happens.”
Israel Adesanya Praises Jake Paul
And now, UFC Champion Israel Adesanya has also confessed that he is a fan of Jake Paul.
“I think Jake Paul was the right guy to [challenge Dana White] at the time. He was one of the guys to get this conversation going that Francis [Ngannou] jumped in,” he said.
“Just because I got my new deal doesn’t mean I just shut up about it. I’m not wrong in saying I think everyone should be getting paid equally for their work. I get paid quite nicely and I’m still greedy. This is the game we’re in, in prizefighting,” The Last Stylebender explained.
