Shannon Briggs was a professional boxer with 60 wins, 53 by KO.

Jake Paul is a social media influencer.

Maybe when Tyson is 79, Paul could beat him.

Tyson was one of the hardest hitters in boxing. He seems to be in good shape. It doesn't matter that he's 57, it matters he's a top professional and he's fighting an amateur.

This shouldn't be legal. If this fight is legitimate, Tyson could kill Paul, or leave him with lifelong damage.

Exactly what I was gonna say. Only way to limit the damage? Make this a bare knuckle event.

I think you under-estimate the debilitating effects of age.

In the old days a very common saying was “17-27”, which of course was the rule of thumb for boxing age. With better diet , medicine etc it has raised. maybe by a dozen years. But 57???

the great Big George Foreman was 45 and he was old when he won the title.

I’m going with Tyson knocked out by Paul in round 4. With the caveat Paul doesn’t stand and trade with him in the first 2 rounds.
