When Michael Jai White dropped "insider information" about sparring and pinpointed the exact strike Mike Tyson could use to beat Jake Paul

Six months ago, Mike Tyson's upcoming boxing match with Jake Paul was brought up as a topic during a VLADTV interview. It featured martial artist and action movie star Michael Jai White, who offered his prediction for the heavyweight fight. Despite the difference in age between Tyson and Paul, White picked Tyson.

Moreover, he outlined his exact reasons for choosing 'Iron Mike'. Besides not being wowed by Paul's skills as a boxer, White highlighted Tyson's devastating body shots as tactical elements he believes Paul will struggle against, especially given that Paul weighs 20 pounds less than Tyson and is only three inches taller:

"Big guys would hold Mike. Guys with long reach, that outweigh him. People that's Mike's weight? Mike's center of gravity? I don't think there's anything that's gonna stop him. Mike hits him in the body, the body doesn't move that much. I don't see how Jake survives a body attack."

Furthermore, White spoke about having information about Paul's sparring sessions, which just magnify his confidence that Tyson will emerge victorious come fight night:

"I probably shouldn't say anything, because I was instrumental to sometimes getting guys to spar with Jake and his brother [Logan Paul]. I know the guys that train with them and how they do against them. I'm a little... it's kind of insider information there. Yeah, I don't see Jake doing much against Mike."

Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul is defined by a massive age difference

The Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul boxing match is something of a return to form for 'The Problem Child's' knack for fighting much older opponents. However, his upcoming bout with Tyson is the most extreme example, as the heavyweight great is 58 years old.

Meanwhile, Paul is only 27. In short, there is a 31-year age difference between them, for which Paul has been viciously criticized by countless figures in the combat sports world. Nevertheless, the matchup will take place, with many concerned that Tyson may suffer significant damage.
