Roy Jones Jr, the last man to face Mike Tyson in a boxing ring, believes the heavyweight icon will beat Jake Paul in their fight later this month. It will be fascinating to see how the 58-year-old fares as he prepares to return to the sport after a four-year absence - having last faced Jones Jr back in 2020.

Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight week is officially underway. One of the biggest cards of the year finally takes place on Friday when Tyson and Paul meet over eight two-minute rounds at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Revealing his prediction for the fight, Jones Jr. told talkSPORT: ‘Mike Tyson can do one of two things and I don’t think he’ll do the first option because he doesn’t have to – that would be to go out and get Paul out of there and put a barrage on him.
