🚨 Larry Holmes explains why Jake Paul may not ‘survive’ fight against Mike Tyson

Mike Tyson’s former KO victim Larry Holmes has sent a warning to Jake Paul.

In 1988 Tyson was in his prime and the most feared man on the planet and was far too much for a 38-year-old Holmes who succumbed to a fourth round stoppage defeat.

At 58 years-of-age this is nowhere near that version of ‘Iron Mike’ but Holmes believes he could pose a significant threat to ‘The Problem Child’.

“I watched a clip of Mike Tyson this morning and all I can say is Jake better be ready if he’s going to fight Mike,” he said.

“Mike will be able to last the two minute rounds. Mike comes to fight when he puts his mind to it, he goes to work on you.

“And that’s what I’ve seen today. And if this guy tries to trade punches with Mike, he loses.

“Mike is a puncher. I fought Mike and he hit me and that was the end of it. Earnie Shavers was one of the hardest punchers there’s ever been and Mike is right up there with him at the top.

“Earnie Shavers was the hardest I’ve ever faced but when Tyson hits, he tries to kill you. And Mike can take a good punch, I hit him a couple of times and he kept on coming.

“Jake will hit him, but Mike is going to keep on coming. He better be ready for Mike to keep coming forward with punches.”

Mike Tyson takes on Jake Paul on November 15 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
