Rumor has it that Mike Tyson and Jake Paul have a verbal agreement on a showdown with money.

Paul last fought Tyron Wooldey and won with a fantastic knockout when he kept his undefeated record, but speculation remains that the revenue from the fight was overwhelming.

Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn had suggested that the 25-year-old American must raise the bar for his opponent in order to gain respect and to continue to hold the public’s attention.

Speaking at the DAZN Boxing Show, Barak Bess, Akin ‘Ak’ Reyes and J’Leon Love – Paul’s coaches – discussed the potential of the fight. Bess said he thinks Tyson will be interested.

“He has said he would like that fight, Jake or Logan, it would be a huge money fight,” he began.

“Sometimes boxers are the last to find out. I think in this situation I think it’s real. If it’s real, if there’s anyone out there complaining and saying ‘Jake, you’re a 24 year old fighter you against a 55-year-old man, ‘I would like to see you fight this 55-year-old man.

“This was the worst man on the planet and he still looks scary in that ring. If Jake fights Tyson, I still have to give him credit, win or lose.

“We have asked Jake Paul to fight a boxer, no one would want to fight a 55-year-old Mike Tyson. I think this is a good match-up. It will give more eyes than Tommy Fury.

“Mike, his name surpassed the sport”

Reyes agreed, saying, “Even if he joins the fight and steps into the ring, he’s praised, no one can talk slaps about him because Mike will say, ‘Show this, show this.’ [but] he went hard against Roy Jones. He will turn into something else in that ring. “

Perhaps not surprisingly, Love was anxious to see the fight over.

“Mike is Mike, I saw him fight Roy. I saw it, Tyson does not hit him in the head, he hits him in the body. He wore him. It’s a good shoe.” he said of Tyson’s fight with Roy Jones Jr. last year.

“But a guy with the experience of Mike Tyson – the great Mike Tyson – one of the most feared men in the world, who goes up against Jake Paul, the most talked about and exciting guy who adorns the ring – take nothing from Canelo – this is the new the name, the new hype, the new person to see.

“I would like to see it. I would like to ask the fans, if this fight took place, would it be good enough or is [Tyson] too old?”
