Ive said all along these fights should be under the banner of "boxing entertainment" & shouldn't be given any space in boxing publications like this.

Good move.

Also like the self-awareness of this statement "the integrity that remains in boxing will be destroyed". Boxing has always been a circus but there's fighters coming up the hard way, years in the ams and small hall shows, giving their health and best years of their lives for probably minimal cash. Disrespecting boxing is disrespecting those guys.

Just because Tyson got his worst beating since Tokyo Douglas does not mean that he was not still in his prime. Tyson looked tremendous. Threw some bombs that Jake managed to avoid, footwork was on point as well. Jake Paul is just a better overall boxer than Mike Tyson. No shame in that, he is the Face of Boxing. Tyson can go again, he has another 2-3 years of his prime left, then he can retire.

Tyson took a lot of time out of the ring and that has eased his body, boosting his end of prime from a normal 48 for a HW, to around 61, so there is still time for him to have another World title run. Nash out - His Most Majestic Majesty

2025 doesn't like Fake Paul.

Btw, where was Mr. MM before?
It's also interesting that his opinion on the same event is similar to Turki's.
