Jake Paul Challenged by Roy Jones Jr. After Mike Tyson Boxing Match: Video
Jake Paul, the social media star and boxer, secured a victory over Mike Tyson in November, adding another win to his professional record, making it 11-1. Now, another former world champion, Roy Jones Jr., has shown interest in stepping into the ring with Paul. In an interview with TMZ Sports, Jones mentioned that he believes Tyson missed some opportunities to exploit weaknesses in Paul’s defensive strategy, particularly with his chin.
Jones, who boasts a career record of 66-10 with 47 knockouts, expressed his desire to test Paul’s skills and see if he can target his chin. Acknowledging Paul’s punching power, Jones highlighted that Tyson seemed to take a cautious approach and he aims to challenge that strategy.
While Tyson made a comeback against Paul after nearly two decades of being away from professional boxing, Jones has a more recent history in the sport. Although he suffered a loss to Anthony Pettis in 2023, Jones has been actively competing throughout the 2010s. This recent activity suggests that a potential matchup between Jones and Paul could be more evenly matched.
With the challenge on the table, it’s now up to Paul to decide if he will accept and face off against another former star boxer. It’s definitely a fight that many fans would eagerly anticipate.
