Mike Tyson’s last opponent sends terrifying warning to Jake Paul ahead of boxing legend’s highly-anticipated return to the ring
Mike Tyson’s last professional opponent has sent a chilling warning to Jake Paul ahead of his fight against the former heavyweight champion on Friday night.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer is seeking the biggest scalp on his increasing resume when he takes on Tyson at the AT&T Stadium in Texas this weekend.
Paul is 31 years Tyson’s junior and would ordinarily be expected to claim victory despite his relative inexperience. But Iron Mike’s last opponent, Kevin McBride, who faced him back in 2005, has warned the 27-year-old of Tyson’s raw power.
‘Even though Tyson’s 58, he’s still very dangerous and looks like he still has that power,’ he told The Sun. ‘Fair dues to Jake Paul for getting in the ring with him. I don’t think Jake realises it is a different level.
‘When he gets hit by Tyson on the chin, he’s going to think the whole of America has hit him.’
The ex-Irish boxer, 51, now resides in the United States and earns a living as a paver, but 19 years ago he stunned the ‘baddest man on the planet’ – and the viewing public – by wearing Tyson down until he could take no more.
