"It's like mixed feelings" - Jonathan Di Bella weighs in on Jake Paul-Mike Tyson event on Netflix

Former ONE strawweight kickboxing world champion Jonathan Di Bella is one among the millions of people who watched boxing legend Mike Tyson throw down with Jake Paul on Nov. 15. However, he isn't quite sure how he feels about the marquee boxing event that aired on Netflix.

In a lengthy sit-down interview with Combat Sports Today, Di Bella explained his feelings on the matter:

"It's a bit weird. It's like mixed feelings, you know. What they're doing for the sport is good, because it's getting more publicity and more eyes on it. Look at the undercard of that Jake Paul-Mike Tyson fight, they were all good, great fights. There was Mario, Katie Taylor, Bruce Carrington, and there was a bunch of other fights on the card."

He continued:

"Those guys are real guys that were born fighters and are trained fighters. It's good, what they're doing to the sport. But, you know, sometimes, like, when you see, like, Mike Tyson [at] 60 years old, it's hard to watch."
