Jake Paul will be facing the legendary Mike Tyson in the latest instalment of influencer boxing this July in Arlington, Texas, although given that it involves one of the greatest heavyweights ever, it does have a bit more credibility than other fights we’ve been treated to.

The announcement of this fight is one that has shocked the world, with many confused about why a YouTuber is stepping into the ring with a 57-year-old retired veteran, who will be 58 by the time the fight comes around.

As we look ahead to the fight, which will take place on the 20th of July, a simulation of the fight on Fight Night Champion has predicted the result of the clash between the two, and the results are interesting.

Video: Simulation of Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul

The video game has predicted that Tyson will be able to knock Jake Paul down less than two minutes into the first round with a powerful left hook to the head. However, it believes in the heart of the YouTuber as he gets back up and survives into the second round, but all the judges’ scorecards give it 10-8 to Tyson.

The second round is predicted to follow a similar suit, this time with a right hook knocking out the Ohio-YouTuber in under 40 seconds. This time, however, he does not get back up and a dominant, strong performance is predicted by the computer game for Mike Tyson.

Henry Cejudo has revealed just how much Mike Tyson is set to make from fighting Jake Paul.

Iron Mike’s record and legacy in the sport speaks for itself, 50-6 with an astonishing 44 KOs in his 50 wins. Undoubtedly, in his prime, he was one of the deadliest men alive and is still regarded as one of the baddest and scariest heavyweights to ever enter the ring. However, his last professional bout was a defeat in June 2005 against Kevin McBride, when Jake Paul would have been just eight years old.

Jake Paul may have started off as a Disney Channel star/YouTuber, but for roughly the last six years he has been training with top-rated boxing coaches and has really invested in the craft.

Rumours circulated that the fighters would be wearing headguards, however, Paul has now shot these down, but the actual rules are still yet to be announced. Questions over the health of Mike Tyson have also emerged after videos on social media in recent times have shown him using a support cane and a wheelchair. So why would a soon-to-be 58-year-old want to fight a 27-year-old in his prime? Maybe it’s to do with the amount of money he’s getting paid for it…
