Tyson Fury breaks silence on Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson and makes fight prediction

WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has shared his thoughts on Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson.

Despite some people worrying about Tyson's health, Fury thinks the match could be great for boxing. The former champ, who will be 58 when the fight is planned, has been showing off his fitness in training videos to prove he's ready to go to battle. His record stands at 50 wins and six losses and despite his age, he's shown he still has power in his punches. That's why Fury finds it strange that fans aren't more excited about the bout.

Speaking to 'The Stomping Ground', he said: "I think it's fantastic for boxing. You've got a legend in Mike Tyson. You've got a YouTube boxer [Jake Paul]. He has come into the game and blew it up and he's got millions of followers and millions of views and millions of eyes. Good, bad or indifferent. Some people love him, some people hate him. So, I think it's a really good spectacle for boxing. Brings a lot of people to the game."

Fury continued: "Listen, who am I to say, 'Oh, Mike Tyson shouldn't be boxing or Jake Paul shouldn't be boxing, good luck to 'em. They're both gonna make what I call a s*** ton of money out of it. So, isn't that what it's about? "

"[They're fighting at] a great stadium. It'd be fantastic for the guys both getting paid, both gonna put on a show. I just don't know what's not to like. Oh, okay, [Tyson's] 57 years old, but he's a former undisputed world heavyweight king, and [Paul] plays computers for a living and he's come to boxing about a year ago. So, pretty even match..

"From being a kid on the Disney Channel to fighting Mike Tyson. Who wouldn't want to do that? ...People say, 'Oh, it's s***', this, that and the other. But, I bet they still watch it. Who's not intrigued? ".
