The Mike Tyson Effect: Mark Wahlberg Hopes for a Classic Mike Tyson Moment in Fight Against Jake Paul

Related Topics: Mark Wahlberg, Mike Tyson, Jake Paul

Hollywood star Mark Wahlberg has given his thoughts on next Friday’s boxing showdown between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul.

For many, the idea of Mike Tyson returning to the ring at the age of almost 60 is unthinkable. In fact, a lot of pundits feel as if it’s quite unethical – and they’re surprised to see that a commission has actually sanctioned for this showdown to take place.

For Jake Paul, it’s a win-win situation in a lot of ways. Either you are knocked out by one of the best heavyweights of all time (albeit far past his prime), or you pick up a decisive win over someone that was once the most feared man on the planet.
