Former world boxing champion Tony Bellew has voiced his disapproval of the upcoming fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, criticizing the YouTube star for “attacking granddads.” The 58-year-old Tyson, a legendary figure in boxing, is facing off against the 27-year-old Paul in a highly debated match at AT&T Stadium on November 15th.

Bellew expressed his concern over the significant age difference between the two fighters, questioning the legitimacy of the bout. “Mike Tyson’s a granddad. He’s 58-years-old. He’s closing in on 60 and he’s fighting a man who isn’t even half his age,” said Bellew. “The Disney Boy is just attacking granddads now. It’s truly frightening.”

The former cruiserweight champion also questioned the direction Paul’s boxing career is headed, wondering if he will continue to face increasingly older opponents. “So who should he come back against? A 70-year-old?” Bellew asked. “If he wins, is he going to keep going like that with the age?”

Despite his disapproval of the main event, Bellew expressed enthusiasm for the undercard fight between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, describing their rematch as “probably the greatest rematch female boxing has ever seen.”

Bellew also shared his predictions for the upcoming rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury, stating that Fury’s increased weight may hinder his ability to effectively attack Usyk.

The controversial Paul vs Tyson fight continues to generate debate within the boxing community, with many questioning its sporting merit. However, the event promises to be a spectacle, attracting boxing fans and casual viewers alike.
