Promoter Oscar De La Hoya went after Jake Paul on this week’s Clapback Thursday, ripping him for the 58-year-old Mike Tyson fight this Friday night on Netflix.
De La Hoya says he hopes Tyson knocks Jake out with a left uppercut. Oscar believes that it is not enough of Jake to choose the former heavyweight champion Tyson for a fight because he is an “old man”, and does nothing to add “credibility” to his resume, which is full of victories over fighters seniors
De La Hoya says Jake could “hurt” Tyson in the fight, and he doesn’t like it. I think that Paul, 27 years old, does not care what De La Hoya or anyone says about him that he chose to fight Tyson because he has been fighting older kids since he started his career four years ago in 2020.
Oscar wants Jake to lose
If Tyson lands anything significant with the 14oz gloves he’s wearing, he’ll probably knock out Jake Paul in this fight because he hasn’t been hit by anyone with his kind of power during his career. In Tyson’s training, it seems that he could kill a house with a single punch.
“After only a few years in the sport, you were able to get a huge payday, and you fight Mike Tyson, but you fight him at 60 years old,” said Oscar De La Hoya during his day. clapback thursday this week
“This is some serious shit where you can really hurt him because he’s an old man. Jake, you add zero credibility to your resume. I’ve been saying this for years. If you want to be taken seriously in boxing, you need to take a different path. I’ll be watching though, and hope Mike catches you with that left uppercut and puts you out.
“A punch. Be careful with Paul. Just because Paul has tricks. Tyson gets punched at his age, he starts hearing funny noises,” said George Foreman to USA Today about what Jake Paul can do to Mike Tyson if he lands.
“Jake Paul is not shy, and he is not afraid of any of these guys. Time is on his side. So happy for Mike Tyson, he needed this excitement in his life. Everyone is talking about it.”
