“This could be very interesting. I never took it seriously, but yes, this could be very interesting. Jake (Paul) is skilled enough, yes. He is winning. Even if he's fighting guys you don't believe are good enough, they should be able to beat him, but they can't. He's hitting people he shouldn't be hitting. So you have to give him that credit. Furthermore, he is also doing good for boxing as he has millions of people following him every time he fights. He's helping everyone get money. Why are people mad at him?” Tyson said.
