It is safe to say that boxing legend Mike Tyson knows a thing or two about the sweet science. Despite being known for his power punching and aggressive style, ‘Iron’ Mike was also one of the most technically gifted punchers in the history of the sport. Moreover, under Cus D’Amato‘s tutelage, he learned invaluable knowledge about the art of punching and is now a master in the game.

Therefore, it should be no surprise that Tyson came out to give his prediction for the upcoming bout between YouTube sensation Jake Paul and Tommy Fury. The former heavyweight champion has been present around the event in Saudi Arabia and is more than excited to see the two young boxers take each other on.
