Chuck Liddell warns Jake Paul not to underestimate Mike Tyson: 'He still hits'

Former WBA, WBC, IBF, and The Ring heavyweight champion Mike Tyson (50-6-2) opened as a +300 underdog for his July 20 boxing match against Jake Paul (9-1) at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Despite the fact that Tyson is 30 years older than Paul and hasn’t fought professionally in nearly two decades, UFC Hall of Famer Chuck Liddell still likes Tyson’s chances of beating the YouTuber-turned-boxer.

“When Tyson hits him, it’s over,” Liddell told TMZ. “By the way, the last thing to go [when a fighter’s skills diminish] is power. … He hits him, it’s over. You’ve seen Mike. He still hits. Keep covered up, man.”

Tyson created some social media buzz when he tweeted a video clip on Wednesday of himself going through some sparring drills on his X account. That prompted some to believe he's still a formidable opponent for Paul even though he's approaching 58.
