Former Jake Paul sparring partner states: “Mike Tyson is a lamb to the slaughter, He should follow KSI and save himself a concussion against Jake Paul”

KSI has pulled out of his ‘2 vs 1’ extravaganza on August 31st in Dublin due to injury – leaving opponents Anthony Taylor and Slim Albaher without a fight.

However, Anthony Taylor – who is also a former sparring partner of Jake Paul looks to the future and has urged ‘’Iron’’ Mike Tyson to follow in KSI’s footsteps and pull out against Jake Paul as his health concerns continue to rise ahead of the fight.

Speaking to Instant Casino, Taylor said:

• Mike Tyson is a lamb to the slaughter, He should follow KSI and save himself a concussion against Jake Paul

Mike Tyson is a lamb to the slaughter, He should follow KSI and save himself a concussion against Jake Paul

Mike Tyson needs to take a leaf out of KSI’s book and pull out of his fight against Jake Paul. I’ve worked with Jake behind the scenes, and trust me, you haven’t seen what he’s capable of. Tyson is a lamb to a slaughter. I worry about a concussive ending because Jake is a real fighter now. I’ve known him for five years and he’s developed into a real fighter. When Tyson tires Jake will make Tyson pay. Jake’s cardio is next level. Did you ever see Homer Simpson bide his time, soak up a bit of punishment and then knock over his exhausted opponent? Well, Mike’s 58 and he’s going to get tired real quick.

The KSI fight is now gone forever. I respect his decision, if you’re injured, you’re injured. I know the good people of Misfits are going to find me my next fight.  I’m here, ready and waiting for all the smoke. I want Slim, Salt Papi, Mayweather, I want all the smoke. I bring eyeballs. Anthony Taylor is the king of influencer boxing and, outside of Jake Paul, I’m the MVP.
