Former undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, now 57, will step into the ring against 26-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul on July 20 in a highly anticipated Texas tussle. Despite the 31-year age gap favoring Paul, Garcia remains unconvinced that the social media star will emerge victorious. While Tyson’s recent training footage has raised some concerns among fight fans, his coach, Rafael Cordeiro, insists that the boxing legend’s skills and experience will ultimately prevail. Garcia, who had a shock victory over Devin Haney just days before expressing his support for Tyson, emphasized his admiration and belief in the boxing icon. He said, “I love you, Mike. You look good. I’m going to your fight, I’ll be there. I’m with you in everything, remember that, always in spirit. I got you. Love you, Mike.” Tyson’s return to the ring in November 2020 against Roy Jones Jr. was a reminder of his age, as he appeared slower and less agile than in his prime. However, Cordeiro believes that Tyson’s recent training regimen has addressed those concerns, and that “Iron Mike” is ready to prove that he still has the fire and determination to knock out his opponents. Garcia’s prediction reflects the enduring legacy and respect that Tyson commands in the boxing world despite his age and recent setbacks. As the July 20 fight approaches, Garcia’s words serve as a reminder of the enduring power of experience and the indomitable spirit of a boxing legend.
