Mike Tyson Wants to Fight Anthony Joshua After Jake Paul Victory?
Boxing legend Mike Tyson has thrown a curveball into the world of boxing with a surprising statement. Tyson has declared he’d be willing to step back into the ring to fight Anthony Joshua if Joshua defeats Jake Paul in their rescheduled match.
Tyson, known for his ferocious knockout power during his prime, has been vocal about his desire to return to fighting. His statement came after Joshua was heavily criticized for his performance against Oleksandr Usyk in their rematch, leading to widespread speculation about his future in boxing.
“I’m a fighter, and I love a good fight,” Tyson said, speaking to reporters at a recent event. “If Joshua can beat Jake Paul, I’d be interested in stepping back in the ring against him. He’s a big, strong guy, and it would be a great fight for the fans.”
This unexpected declaration sent shockwaves through the boxing community. Many are left wondering if Tyson’s statement is simply a publicity stunt or if he genuinely harbors a desire to fight Joshua.
While Tyson’s athleticism at age 57 is questionable, his experience and name recognition would make a fight against Joshua a major event. The potential match-up would offer a unique clash between two generations of boxing titans.
Joshua’s upcoming fight against Paul is crucial to his future. A victory over the social media star would likely give him a much-needed boost in confidence and potentially reignite his career. A loss, however, could spell the end of his reign as a top contender.
The fight between Joshua and Paul is scheduled for August 12th in Saudi Arabia. Should Joshua emerge victorious, the boxing world will be watching to see if Tyson’s surprising challenge becomes a reality.
