Jake said: &#8220;I talked to some reporters yesterday or the day before, and I said that Mike Tyson would beat me.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ngannou responded without hesitation: &#8220;Yes. Listen, I saw Tyson move to show me things, and I said, &#8216;calm down&#8217;, he still has endurance. We\u2019re talking about Mike, man. Mike is something else; he is a role model.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">While many believe Tyson\u2019s win is only possible by knockout, Francis Ngannou thinks the former heavyweight champion could go the distance and win by points.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In an attempt to gain an edge over his opponent, Jake Paul asked his guest if there was anything specific he should be aware of when facing Mike Tyson.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ngannou replied: &#8220;You have to pay attention to everything. Mike will move from this side to that side without you knowing. Under other circumstances, I would say &#8216;okay, let\u2019s go Jake&#8217;, but in this case, I say &#8216;brother, let\u2019s be realistic&#8217;.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The highly anticipated match was set to take place on July 20, but it had to be postponed due to the worsening injury Tyson sustained while on a flight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Concerns about the Tyson vs. Paul Match<\/strong> Many are still concerned about the possibility of a 58-year-old with major health issues entering the ring with a 27-year-old in peak physical condition. The Texas Licensing and Registration Board has approved this match as a heavyweight professional fight; however, there will be a set of modified rules to prevent serious harm to Mike Tyson.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Instead of the usual three-minute rounds, there will be a one-minute reduction, with eight two-minute rounds instead. The pair will also use 14-ounce gloves rather than the standard 10-ounce gloves for heavyweight bouts. Knockouts are allowed, as usual, and the outcome will be recorded in both fighters\u2019 professional records.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;He worships the champion but lacks wisdom&#8221; &#8211; Fans react when Francis Ngannou told Jake Paul to his face that Mike Tyson &#8220;is going to beat him&#8221; Francis Ngannou on Jake Paul&#8217;s Podcast The former UFC heavyweight champion made his prediction for the fight. &quot;Francis Ngannou Predicts Jake Paul&#39;s Defeat Against Mike Tyson: A Warning [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4346,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[87,29,45,86],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-4345","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxe","8":"category-boxing-news","9":"category-mma","10":"category-mma-video"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mmamag.ma\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4345"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mmamag.ma\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mmamag.ma\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmamag.ma\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmamag.ma\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4345"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mmamag.ma\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4345\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4347,"href":"https:\/\/mmamag.ma\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4345\/revisions\/4347"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmamag.ma\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mmamag.ma\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4345"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmamag.ma\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4345"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmamag.ma\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4345"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
