      Jake Paul knocking out Mike Tyson, 58, would be a ‘travesty’ and no real boxing fan wants to see it, blasts Eddie Hearn

      by

      JAKE PAUL knocking out Mike Tyson would be a travesty for boxing in the eyes of any true fight fan, Eddie Hearn believes.YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul faces heavyweight great Tyson on November 15 in a clash that has attracted huge controversy over the massive age gap.Mike Tyson is due to fight Jake Paul on November 15Credit: GettyPromoter Eddie Hearn is not a fan of the boutCredit: GettyFurther outrage was sparked when Tyson was forced to pull out of the initial July 20 date amid an ulcer flare-up in his stomach. But organisers – including streaming platform Netflix – turned a blind eye to reschedule the bout. Paul, 27, and Tyson, 58, are set to share a huge $80million (£60m) cash pot as Netflix mark their first move into live boxing. So while millions are expected to watch the fight for the ages – promoter Hearn fears it will come at the cost of boxing’s reputation. READ MORE IN BOXINGHe told SunSport: “I don’t think there’s one boxing person that really wants this fight to happen.“So they’re looking at it from a different angle, they’re looking at it from numbers, they’re looking to it for hype and I get it. I understand that this freak show may well do good numbers.“But, I think if you genuinely care about the sport and the history of the sport and particularly the legacy of one of the greatest fighters of all time, it’s not something you’d ever consider.“But, I understand their strategy and the business and if it does numbers, they don’t really care how it looks in terms of the empathy of it.Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS“I don’t think it’s ever something you’d see a real boxing person get involved with.”Tyson retired in 2005 off the back of two dismal defeats and years of trouble outside the ring. How rumours of Anthony Joshua being ‘carried out of the ring’ with Daniel Dubois fulled bitter bout years in the makingBut by 2020, he was reformed and returned for an exhibition bout with Roy Jones Jr – which was nothing more than a glorified sparring session. That will not be the case – so we’re told – this time around as he prepares to fight Paul in a professionally sanctioned bout. Both will be subjected to drug testing while Tyson must take additional brain and heart exams due to his age. Paul is 10-1 with only a 2023 points defeat to Tyson Fury’s brother Tommy, 25, blemishing his record. And he plans to put love and respect aside to KO boxing hero Tyson – something Hearn and every other fan dreads. He said: “It’s just a different world isn’t it?
