Hollywood star Mark Wahlberg has shared his thoughts on the upcoming boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, set to take place next Friday.
For many, the concept of Mike Tyson stepping back into the ring at nearly 60 years old is hard to believe. Some pundits even consider it unethical and are surprised that a commission has approved this match to happen.
For Jake Paul, this fight presents a win-win scenario. He either faces defeat at the hands of one of the greatest heavyweights in history (albeit past his prime) or secures a significant victory against a once-feared opponent.
Various celebrities and fighters have been weighing in on the matter, including Mark Wahlberg, who shared his thoughts on the fight.
Mark Wahlberg’s Perspective on Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul
“Look, I’d like to see the old Mike coming out one more time, one-rounder. I just hope nobody gets hurt. I always watch Mike on pay-per-view, people always complain, ‘Oh it went one round. It wasn’t worth your money.’ Always have my money’s worth when watching Mike. He’s a dear friend. Hopefully, he’s going to be healthy, does the old Mike thing one more time.”
