(Photo by Michael Loccisano/Getty Images)Tyron Woodley is not ruling out Mike Tyson’s chances against Jake Paul.Paul (10-1) takes on 58-year-old boxing legend Tyson (50-6-2) on Nov. 15 at AT&T Stadium in Dallas.Due to Tyson’s age, many professionals and pundits have had an issue with his fight against Paul being sanctioned as an official bout by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations. However, Woodley sees it differently.”It’s a very even fight, to be honest,” Woodley told TMZ. “It’s even because of the age of Mike Tyson. He’s completely obviously out of his prime. When in his prime, most of his fights were almost attempted murder. So literally, Jake wouldn’t have stood a chance. Nobody would even commission to sanction a fight against him and Mike Tyson (in Tyson’s prime).”Former UFC welterweight champion Woodley laced up the gloves against Paul twice in 2021. He lost their first bout by split decision, but was then knocked out four months later on short notice.
