Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul has been simulated on Fight Night Champion

Mike Tyson has been singing the praises of Jake Paul on Jimmy Kimmel Live and that prompted the YouTuber to show his appreciation for the former champ and his words.

Paul often gets criticised for putting on these major shows despite not being a professional boxer or training to be one from a young age like many others.

Tyson was quick to quash those ideas, saying he is winning so clearly has talent and also highlighting how the viewing figures he pulls in are massive for the sport.

He said that they will make an exhibition fight happen this year after it has been rumoured for a while, with Tyson not wanting to retire again after his exhibition bout with Roy Jones JR in 2020.

Since then, Iron Mike hasn’t step foot in the ring, but he has always stated his interest in a fight with Paul to try and break the record for a fight purse given the pulling power Paul has with his YouTube following.

Paul is scheduled to make his return on the August 6 and will look to keep his impressive 100% record going.

So far, he has a 5-0-0 record, which includes two knockouts and two tactical knockouts. He kicked off with a victory over AnEsonGib before taking down Nate Robinson and Ben Askren.

He followed up his opening three bouts with back-to-back fights with Tyron Woodley, winning both of them, with the second one being a knockout.

The simulated bout goes all eight rounds with Tyson taking home the victory via decision, with all three judges favouring him in the virtual fight.

All three scorers had the fight 77-75 in Iron Mike’s favour, so not much in it, could we genuinely see these two go toe-to-toe in real
