A lot has been said about Jake Paul ’s upcoming bout against 57-year-old Mike Tyson . While some have criticized the matchup due to the 30-year age gap, others have grown intrigued by two combat sports stars colliding. Teddy Atlas , legendary boxing trainer, is on board with the fight and has no issue with Paul fighting Tyson.
