UFC legend Dan Hardy casts doubt on Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight not happening – ‘I’d be surprised if it actually happened’

Title: Dan Hardy Casts Doubts on Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson Fight Amidst Tyson’s Health Concerns

Former UFC title challenger, Dan Hardy, has expressed skepticism regarding the highly anticipated fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, especially in light of Tyson’s recent health issues.

Earlier this year, the announcement of the YouTuber-turned-boxer facing Tyson at the AT&T Stadium in Texas on July 20 sent shockwaves through the sports world. Despite the bout being professionally sanctioned and Tyson’s highly anticipated comeback, recent health setbacks have raised doubts about the fight’s feasibility.

Tyson’s ‘ulcer flare up’ during travel from Miami to Los Angeles prompted a delay in his comeback until November 15. Hardy had voiced his doubts about the fight even before Tyson’s medical scare, predicting potential cancellations due to unforeseen circumstances.

While acknowledging Paul’s strategic move in choosing Tyson as his opponent to regain momentum in the spotlight, Hardy remains wary of the match-up’s legitimacy. Despite Tyson’s age of 58, Hardy refuses to discount the former heavyweight champion’s ability to pull off a monumental upset against his 27-year-old opponent.

In Hardy’s assessment, the bout presents an intriguing but odd dynamic, with Tyson’s formidable reputation and Paul’s youth and athleticism adding layers of uncertainty to the outcome. Regardless of the uncertainty surrounding the fight, Hardy emphasizes Tyson’s enduring fire and skill, while acknowledging the potential threat posed by Paul’s stature and opportunity to face a boxing legend.

As the fight’s fate hangs in the balance amidst Tyson’s health concerns and Hardy’s skepticism, the anticipation and speculation surrounding the bout continue to captivate fans and pundits alike.
