Tyson Fury already gave perfect response to Mike Tyson fight that Jake Paul failed to heed

In 2020, Tyson Fury turned down the opportunity to face Mike Tyson in an exhibition match, even though the chance was presented to him.

Nonetheless, the Gypsy King maintained that he would have ended up in a 'no-win scenario'—referring to himself as the WBC heavyweight champion at the time.

After four years, former YouTuber and now boxer Jake Paul stepped into the ring for a professionally sanctioned match, where he defeated Tyson by unanimous decision on Friday night.

This is still true even with the 31-year difference in their ages, setting a new record for a professional bout, although the matchup was unbalanced.

Tyson Fury understood that going up against Mike Tyson would have been a no-win scenario.

It quickly became clear that Tyson, at 58 years old, couldn't match the energy of his 27-year-old rival. The younger fighter was able to fend off Iron Mike and land more jabs.

As millions tuned in to the Netflix event globally, numerous viewers criticized the fight as ridiculous—an opinion that Fury had anticipated four years earlier.

At the age of 53, Tyson was considering a comeback to the boxing ring for an exhibition match, and Fury was among the various options he was considering.

In 2020, Fury mentioned, "Mike Tyson's team reached out to me, and I had a conversation with Mike over the phone. It felt genuine, but it never actually came together."

A person who initially wanted to give Mike some money returned and offered us a meager amount instead.
