He’s Iron Mike Tyson, the baddest man on the planet. “Jake Paul is very experienced now and he’s had a lot of fights but obviously, I have to back Mike Tyson for the knockout as he always backs me.”KSI: PAUL”Jake Paul will knock out Mike Tyson. This will not be close at all. Boxing is a young man’s game and Mike is 58 years old. “They’re sending a lamb to the slaughter and it’s disgusting.”Conor McGregor: TYSON”Don’t give a b******s. They’re wearing 14-oz gloves. It’s two-minute rounds, is it? It’s two-minute rounds? Who gives a b******s.”I hope he [Tyson] rattles that little dope [Paul]. No one gives a f*”k about him.

He’s not that old. Don’t take him too softly. “We’re one year apart, you can fight somebody like that and do well, because the person you’re fighting is not a true fighter and there’s a hundred things that you’ve forgotten that he’s learning.”Logan Paul: PAUL”Let’s go, Jake! Mike Tyson, you don’t even know.”You’re messing with the Pauls, bruh. Let’s go, Jake. First-round knockout. Yeet!”Roy Jones Jr: TYSON”Mike Tyson by knockout. He should be able to control the whole fight. “I don’t see Jake Paul doing anything.”Oscar De La Hoya: UNDECIDED”If it’s before three, four rounds, I have to go with Tyson by knockout, that one punch knockout.”If it goes past four rounds, I have to worry about Tyson’s conditioning, and where Jake Paul’s youth can take over.”Logan Paul is right behind his brotherCredit: GettyNate Diaz is feeling a Tyson victoryCredit: GettyLe’Veon Bell: PAUL”I think he beats Mike Tyson.

Mike is the man, you already know. Jake is young and explosive with nothing to lose in every fight. “That’s what I think he has going for him. Everything is going to switch. He’s the guy that’s supposed to win. I think that will be a little different.”Teddy Atlas: PAUL”For one or two rounds could it be a little hairy? Yeah. If he (Tyson) don’t catch him (Paul) … then the gas tank starts to putter… then the young man will have the advantage. “The question is how much does he have left in his body? 58 (years old) is not the same 58 when I was 21. It’s a different 58, especially if they are not testing him.” Larry Holmes: TYSON”I watched a clip of Mike Tyson this morning, and all I can say is that Jake Paul had better be ready if he’s going to fight Mike. Mike will be able to last the two-minute rounds. Mike comes to fight when he puts his mind to it; he goes to work on you.”If Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul was a Las Vegas table game I’d be betting all my money on Iron Mike… Mike Tyson doesn’t care about anything. He’ll fight you right now, even though he’s not in any shape. And he’s going to hit you, and when he does that, it’s all over.”Manny Pacquiao has indicated Paul cannot beat TysonCredit: AFPAmir Khan is also tipping Paul for defeatCredit: GettyJohnny Nelson: PAUL”You’ve got youth against an older man that hasn’t got the pace, so if you’ve got someone that’s running rings around you, Mike’s never going to have the energy level to keep up with him or to manhandle him.”So unless he gets one shot in and Jake Paul is stupid enough to show try toe to toe it there with him, it only takes one how but he has the speed on Mike, he has the youth on Mike, he has the fitness on Mike.”Amir Khan: TYSON”I just feel that he can really hurt Jake Paul.”I just can’t believe what Jake Paul is thinking.”David Benavidez: TYSON”Jake Paul, I think he knows he’s got to get ready. We’ll see how it turns out, but hopefully it’s not nothing too crazy. READ MORE SUN STORIES”That’s the only thing that worries me, bro, but if Mike goes out there and gives Jake a good fight, we’re not gonna be surprised. Mike is a world champion, a fighter at heart.

I’ve always admired Jadon as he is such a great player.”It’s crazy and surreal to think I am now playing with someone I’ve always looked up to – not just Jadon, but the rest of the Chelsea squad.

      BBC launch reality show to find new football expert just hours after Gary Lineker’s bombshell MOTD exit revealed

      by

      THE BBC has launched a new reality show to find a fresh-faced football expert following Gary Lineker’s announced exit.The Match of the Day presenter will be stepping down from the much-loved show at the end of the season.Gary Lineker is stepping down from his role at the BBCCredit: PAThe broadcaster is looking to social media to find a new football expert – perhaps like Man Utd content creator Mark Goldbridge (pictured)Credit: RexLineker, 63, will continue to feature on FA Cup shows and at the World Cup in 2026.However, the Beeb are planning on bringing new faces into their talent pool.The new show will try to attract a younger audience to the broadcaster.It will be aiming to recruit a new football expert who uses the social media platform TikTok – perhaps like divisive Manchester United content creator Mark Goldbridge.READ MORE ON SPORTIt will be broadcast on iPlayer in the lead-up to the Women’s European Championship next summer.The winner of the show will apparently be offered a paid role producing digital content for BBC Sport.Their work will also appear on TV programmes like Football Focus, radio channels like BBC Radio 5 Live as well as digital and social media.A web page created for the new show states: “We are looking for talented football obsessives who are as comfortable explaining the latest tactical innovations to fan culture to interviewing top players.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS”All shortlisted candidates will have an on-screen opportunity as well as receiving training and upskilling as part of the scheme.”After completion of the series, the competition winner will be also offered a paid opportunity as a BBC Sport contributor.Gary Lineker will stop presenting Match of the Day the end of this season at and will quit Beeb by 2027″The window for applications will open in December 2024 and full details will be available on this page in the coming weeks.”Director of BBC Sport Alex Kay-Jelski has insisted that the opportunity could be life-changing for the winner.He said: “There can’t be many better jobs than working with the BBC’s football team, so if you think you know the game better than anyone, get applying.”This could change your life.”It comes as SunSport revealed BBC staff fear Match of the Day will go woke following Lineker’s exit.They predict some of the traditional fans’ favourite pundits could be ditched to reduce the number of middle-aged, male former players.We also revealed that Roman Kemp is being lined up for a shock role in a revamped version of the show.Who could replace Gary Lineker as MOTD host?GARY LINEKER dropped the shock news that he is QUITTING Match of the Day.The popular presenter, 63, took over hosting duties on the flagship BBC programme from Des Lynam in 1999.But after more than 25 years in the studio hotseat, he has called time on his MOTD gig.But as part of a huge shake-up, the BBC is considering rotating the presenters on a weekly basis.So with Lineker vacating the chair, new names will step into his giant boots. But who could they be?MARK CHAPMANChapman, 51, is the obvious early favourite to follow on from Lineker as MOTD presenter.He already has the gig as MOTD2 host on a Sunday night plus landed the presenting job for the new BBC Champions League highlights show.ALEX SCOTTScott gets the nod from the Beeb bosses when Lineker is away.The former right-back, 40, is used to presenting the Saturday night show as well as live match coverage – plus ticks the box as a former England international.GABBY LOGANLike Scott, Logan, 51, is one of the understudies to step in when Lineker is not available.She has done most gigs since joining the BBC in 2007, including Olympics, Sports Personality of the Year and Final Score.MICAH RICHARDSLineker’s top pick to replace him is exuberant former Man City defender Richards.The departing host told his close pal, 36, on their Stick to Football podcast: “I’d love to see you take over Micah, I think you’d be brilliant in the chair.”JASON MOHAMMADMohammad could earn the “promotion” from Final Score to Match of the Day.The 51-year-old Welshman – who took over from Logan in 2013 – is one of the BBC’s top earners already and is more senior than fellow Final Score and BBC Sport broadcaster Kelly Somers, who could in theory become the main live host for the afternoon slot.JEFF STELLINGHe couldn’t, could he? While Lineker has been the face of Saturday night TV for football fans for years, the face of the afternoons was Stelling in his role as Sky Sports’ Soccer Saturday presenter.He would bring plenty of on-screen charisma, wit and legendary TV expertise – but at nearly 70 and currently with talkSPORT, the Hartlepool fan would not be a cheap or long-term appointment.
