Renowned boxing trainer Teddy Atlas shared his incisive perspective on the upcoming bout between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, stirring the pot with his unexpected take. In a recent YouTube commentary, Atlas highlighted the unique pressures facing Paul. “I think this is a very dangerous fight for Paul,” he stated. Emphasizing the double-edged sword Paul faces.
“First of all, for me, he [doesn’t have] a lot other than money… If he wins, they say, ‘He’s 58 years old.’ And if he loses, they say, ‘He’s 58 years old. You lost to a 58-year-old guy.’” Atlas contrasted this with Tyson’s position, noting, “Tyson, whatever they’re paying him, he’s been making good money…he’s done a good job to get him on the track,” underscoring the disparity in what’s at stake for both fighters.
