Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson: Can Extra-Heavy Gloves Shield the YouTube Star from Tyson’s Power?

Jake Paul is set to compete against Mike Tyson using 14oz gloves instead of 10oz gloves – but could that prove to be a mistake?

Next month, Jake Paul will battle heavyweight boxing legend Mike Tyson in a bizarre crossover match. It will be streamed live across the globe on Netflix and despite some of the protests surrounding it, the expectation is that it’ll be a pretty popular event.

With that being said, it won’t be 100% conventional. It will be contested over eight two-minute rounds, and it will be with 14oz gloves as opposed to 10oz.
