Mike Tyson’s last professional foe, Kevin McBride, has warned Jake Paul that he is heading for an early knockout defeat.

Tyson is fighting for the first time as a professional since 2005, when he faced YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul at AT&T Stadium in Texas November 15streaming on Netflix.

Nearly 20 years ago, McBride infamously retired the well-faded “Iron Mike” after a sixth-round victory.

Despite the decisive victory, the Irishman admits that the power of the former undisputed heavyweight champion was still formidable.

McBride said Instant casinos: “When Tyson hit me, I swear I saw a Leprechaun playing drums in my head, so I grabbed his head and whispered to him, ‘Is that all you’ve got?’ and he went crazy.

“He bit my nipple so demanding it was the most excruciating pain I have ever felt in my life. When he pulled it away, his mouthpiece fell out and I thought, “Thank God he had a mouthpiece,” if he hadn’t, I would forever be known as the Irish heavyweight with one nipple.

“If you watch the fight in sluggish motion, you can see him biting my nipple.

“When you’re a fighter like Tyson, I can tell you he’s going there to win and go about his business. He doesn’t want to look back and think he let Jake Paul off the hook.

He’s going there to win and Paul will need to be in top shape to survive.

“I can say from the media that Tyson has already achieved so much that he wants to win, it is in his blood, the competition will never leave him.”

Paul, 27, has won four in a row since his only professional loss to Tommy Fury, stopping former UFC fighter Mike Perry in July.

“The Problem Child” hasn’t even been dropped yet in his career, but McBride says he’s supporting his former rival to ensure he gets an early break, even though Paul is 31 years his junior.

“Jake Paul is feeling a little better, gaining more experience in the ring, but he will see how powerful Tyson is.

“Paul is maybe half Tyson’s age, but Tyson is so unsafe. Power is the last thing you lose.

“You can see it in the videos he posts. It may only be a compact film, but it has incredible power.

“All Mike Tyson has to do is connect and Jake Paul will be watching Christmas lights for the next week.

“He will be timed in the first few rounds and that will be the end of it.

“Tyson is a legend and if he beats Paul you can tell him that if he wants to avenge his defeat, let’s not get too crazy.

“I would come out of retirement for another Mike Tyson fight. Or if one of the men backs down, I’ll jump in.

Promoter of the 35-year-old, Eddie Hearn does not rule out a second fight with Dubois, but admits that his player will wait for the result of the rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury, which will take place on December 21, before deciding on his next move.

Carl Froch questions belief in a flat Earth and claims the Moon landing was faked by NASA

Published

on

Carl Froch, one of the greatest British boxers of his generation, has explained why he believes the Earth is flat and not round. The 47-year-old is also convinced that no one has actually ever been to the Moon, accusing NASA of faking the landings.

It is generally accepted that Neil Armstrong was the first person to walk on the Moon when Apollo 11 landed on the lunar surface in 1969. Froch, however, came to a very different conclusion after reviewing “all the footage” and looking at what he saw. claims to be “evidence.”

“The equipment they used to get there was as powerful as a Zedec Spectrum, which probably wasn’t that powerful,” he said. Action network.

“When I was a kid, it was the computer. Now we can’t get there and I think everything we’ve been told about the moon landing [is made up].

“When you look at all the evidence, all the footage and the fact that they lost all the telemetry that tells you they went to the moon, I would say we didn’t go to the moon.

“Man has not walked on the moon. It was a substantial fucking lie.”

Froch added: “Every image we have seen of planet Earth is a CGI image. So when I see the picture of the world as a whole, I will start to believe in heliocentrism – helio is the sun, the centric being at the center.

“I don’t believe a lot of the things that tell me about the heliocentric model, that the sun is in the middle and that we orbit around it, the Massive Bang theory, which is a theory, and the theory of evolution, which we come from apes.”

Froch also discussed his belief that the Earth is flat, not round, having openly admitted to believing in the conspiracy theory in the past.

When asked to explain his views, he explained: “When you talk about a flat Earth, it gets banned and restricted. They don’t like this chat and that’s where things get captivating. Why can’t I say that the heliocentric model is unreliable?

“The speed of featherlight around the Earth takes three seconds. Planet Earth has approximately 24,000 [miles] in circumference, so if you travel at the speed of featherlight, imagine how far you will go in an hour.

Froch initially raised eyebrows in 2019 when he claimed the Earth was flat, adding that he would only believe it was round if he were taken into space to see for himself.

People wondered if the Nottingham resident had simply made a mistake, but during an appearance on The Telegraph he confirmed that his beliefs were earnest. Macklin’s take podcast.

When host Matthew Macklin questioned his views, Froch responded: “That’s the problem. I have tried to prove, and I challenge anyone listening to this, to prove that the Earth is spherical. Prove that it is round. Prove that it is in fact a globe.”

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson officially suspended after controversial fight

Published

on

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson have been suspended by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) following their highly anticipated fight. Following the Arlington fight, the pair received a mandatory minimum suspension period, which in this case is 24 days.

TDLR rules state that each fighter must rest for at least three days in each round fought. Because the YouTuber-turned-boxer and former undisputed heavyweight champion only fought for eight rounds, he will be suspended for 24 days, according to the website MMA enthusiast.

Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor also face bans. Their fight was very close and Taylor won by unanimous decision, as a result of which both stars were sidelined for over a month with a 45-day suspension.

Even though the Serrano-Taylor fight showed incredible determination and strength, the Paul-Tyson main event seemed to lack the same intensity. After the first attack, the 58-year-old Tyson appeared to tire quickly, allowing Paul to take advantage of his opponent’s waning stamina.

After eight rounds of uninspiring boxing, the 27-year-old was declared the winner by unanimous decision, with Paul paying tribute to Tyson in the closing moments of the final round. In a speech to fans after the fight, Paul apologized for not knocking out Tyson, even though he had previously promised to do so.

“I’m sorry I didn’t knock him out,” Paul said as his entourage nodded in agreement that he chose the honorable route by not beating the 58-year-old icon. He admitted to holding back his punches when he noticed Tyson weakening as the fight progressed.

“After I saw he was tired, I didn’t want to hurt him too much, but I wanted the fans to experience a good experience,” he added. Paul also mentioned that the Tyson fight felt “different” from his previous fights, emphasizing that a more composed attitude allowed him to anticipate Tyson’s moves and prepare more effectively.

“Fighting in the stadium is less personal and less deafening, so it’s less stressful on the nerves,” he noted. “Arenas are harder to fight in. Come out, I was serene, serene and collected.

“In the first round I timed his speed and managed to get his time quite quickly and saw how I could mark him and touch him. The rest was history, I just boxed him and had fun.”

With Paul’s status as a boxing headliner at one point confirmed by over 100 million viewers, the teenage fighter feels he has earned the right to fight some of the biggest names in the sport. As such, Paul is confident that with his victory over Tyson, he can become a champion within the next few years.

“I think it could happen in the next 24 months. I really, really believe in my skills, abilities and power. And the cruiserweight division is apparently open to admission on this date,” he stated.
