đ¨ Jake Paul told heâs âa disgrace to boxingâ as worrying Mike Tyson concern emerges
Tony Bellew has given a scathing assessment on Jake Paulâs fight with Mike Tyson
The YouTuber turned boxer is set to face the former undisputed heavyweight champion on November 15th after their original fight was rescheduled due to âIron Mikeâsâ ulcer flare-up.
But, speaking to Instant Casino via the Daily Express, Bellew went in on âThe Problem Childâ.
He said: âHeâs a disgrace to boxing. Heâs not a boxer. And itâs a disgrace heâs pushed for this to go on his professional record,â he continued. âWhy isnât an exhibition enough? Why does he need it on his professional record? Because heâs a plant pot. And heâs an idiot. Heâs ego hungry.
âNow, I never called Jake Paul things like that. Mate, youâre trying to put your name amongst greats of the sport. Michael Spinks, Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield, Jake Paul? Itâs disgusting and I canât believe a commission signed off on it.â
He continued: âIâve got no problem with them having an exhibition and Mike should make a fortune. I hope he doesnât get hurt. You know, I really do pray to whoever or whatever that he stays safe and healthy but to go on your professional record, it just infuriates me. Itâs ridiculous.â
Bellew concluded: âI just hope Mike stays safe. I donât know whatâs going to happen. I donât know whatâs going to happen in the freak show. But I just hope Mike is safe because he wasnât well not long ago and this guy still wants to face him.â
