Mike Tyson jokes
At the time of his defeat, some people made fun of the fact that 58-year-old Mike Tyson had decided to take on Jake Paul, just 27. In his own style, Piers Morgan came to the boxer's defense. “The best Mike Tyson would have destroyed Jake Paul in 90 seconds. The 58-year-old Tyson lasted 8 rounds against a fitter, more capable boxer half his age. Make fun of him all you want, but Mike has a heart of a lion, a balls of steel and will always be an absolute legend,” he argues in X.
