The former two-time heavyweight champion Mike Tyson’s son Amir Tyson is a big boxing enthusiast. He keeps a keen eye on the sport and its development. After completing broadcast journalism at university, the man turned into an entrepreneur and launched his own clothing line. There was a time when he wanted to take part in boxing and follow in the footsteps of his father but he could not. Reports claim he was interested in fighting with social media star Logan Paul but his father who had experienced everything in the ring discouraged him, and eventually, all such claims vanished.

But it did not separate the 25-year-old from following the sport. Hardly any storyline that takes place in the ring will not be overlooked by him and like his father, he takes active participation in sharing his opinion. Now when Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury grudge match has electrified the boxing world and boxing pundits are passing different verdicts, the second son of Tyson confronted both fighters.

He did mention who will win ‘The battle of the Arabs’, but he also talked about what would be the aftermath of the highly anticipated matchup.

Boxing Social reported Hearn as saying, “I’ve had a total U-turn. I thought Jake Paul was going to win. I think Jake Paul has absolutely no chance to win at all. If Tommy Fury comes out aggressively and puts it on Jake Paul, this fight will not go two rounds.”
