Roy Jones Jr has warned Jake Paul that Mike Tyson can punch with all the strength of a mule’s kick.
Tyson, 57, and Paul will lock horns at the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on July 20 in an exhibition bout streamed live on Netflix.
There is a 30-year gap in their ages but boxing icons have cautioned Paul about his opponent’s immense power.
Jones Jr fought Tyson in 2020, a split decision draw which was billed as the ‘Lockdown Knockdown’ and generated over £63million in revenue.
‘Mike Tyson is still the strongest puncher that I’ve ever been in the ring with,’ he told Shane Mosley.

Mike Tyson still punches with the strength of a ‘mule’ kicking in his 50s, Roy Jones Jr has claimed

Jones Jr fought Tyson in 2020 and has warned Paul about his strength ahead of their fight
‘The first time he hit me in the chest, it felt like a mule had kicked me in the chest.
‘And if he hits anybody with a shot like that, they are either going out or down, especially guys who are not used to being hit like that.
‘With these types of people like Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis, these guys are bigger and can take it.
‘But Jake Paul, I don’t think he’s going to be able to take that.
‘It might hit him on the chin like that, we’ll see, but it’s going to be tough [for him].’
This assessment isn’t coming from any old weakling.
Jones Jr is a former four-weight world champion, having held titles from middleweight all the way up to heavyweight.
Nobody else has started their career as light middleweight and managed to win a heavyweight title, a testament to his unique ability.

Paul, once known only for his Vine and YouTube videos, will take on Tyson in an exhibition fight in Texas on July 20
He had 76 fights with 66 wins and 47 knock-outs, taking on the likes of Bernard Hopkins, James Toney, and Joe Calzaghe.
Lennox Lewis has also cautioned Paul, a man whose career in the limelight began by posting videos on Vine.
Lewis, who fought Tyson in 2002, knocking him out in the eighth round to retain his three world title belts, said: ‘It’s going to be a great fight, I am looking forward to it.
‘No [I’m not upset about it not being a professional bout], because I would feel really bad for Jake Paul. I don’t want him to get hurt.’
