Go on Mike beat up that narcissistic nonce.

A man of almost 60 should never, ever be given a license to professionally fight. I'm sure, however, it's a glorified exhibition, with the promoters eyeing at least one sequel. 14 Oz gloves and 2 minute rounds would suggest not too much damage will happen.

If Paul was smart, he'd just let Tyson chase him around - he'll be out on his feet in no time. But I guess it depends on what the promoters want.

Both men set to make a fortune.

At this rate boxing is going to be close to indistinguishable from pro wrestling.

This "fight" will likely make Netflix and the two participants very wealthy, at which point they'll start writing scripts a la WWF and so on. Heels, faces, storylines, the whole thing.

It's rare to see consensus on anything these days, but the vast majority of commenters on social media seem to be of one voice: this thing is a setup and both fighters will know the script inside and out.

Now of course I'd like to see Tyson knock that obnoxious little youtuber into the middle of next week, but I reckon there are way too many clauses in the contract for that to happen.

It'll end up as a draw or no contest.

If it is a legit fight Tyson will annhilate the other guy.

Good luck with that. Paul can run but he can’t hide. Unless Paul jumps the ropes and sprints out of the venue he is dead meat.

Tell me you've never boxed without saying "I've never boxed"

Never mind...You just have

Throwing punches takes much more out of you than moving around the ring
