‘I pray he comes out healthy’ – Anthony Joshua worried for Mike Tyson as he predicts Jake Paul will win fight

Anthony Joshua is expecting youth to overcome experience when Jake Paul faces Mike Tyson this summer.

The former heavyweight champion, though, admits he is worried about 'Iron Mike's' health as he gears up to fight a man 31 years his junior.

By the time Tyson, the youngest heavyweight champion in history, climbs into the ring against Paul he will have just celebrated his 58th birthday.

Meanwhile, 'The Problem Child' is in his physical prime at 27 years old and is an active professional boxer with 10 fights under his belt (9-1).

The last time Tyson competed was in 2020 when he faced Roy Jones Jr in an eight-round exhibition - his first appearance in the ring since hanging up his professional gloves in 2005.

When asked to pick a winner in the crossover clash, Joshua told the Jonathan Ross Show, which airs this Saturday on ITV: “He [Mike Tyson] is older now.

"I pray that he comes out healthy. I think Jake Paul [wins] because of youth - that’s the only thing.”

Three years ago, Paul's brother Logan fought Floyd Mayweather in a non-scored bout, which paved the way for others to go on and do the same.

"I think the boxing hardcores, they don’t like it because they think ‘Why are they disrespecting our sport?’

"But I think that person brings all these people into boxing which benefits everyone else. Everyone viewing helps."

Tyson recently confirmed the bout is an exhibition but insisted it will be contested under 'real fight' rules and regulations.

The heavyweight legend has received multiple medical warnings, with fears he could suffer 'brain damage' in the fight.

He has documented his training on social media in an attempt to allay fans' fears over the showdown.

It would be a sad ending to a historic career, should Tyson suffer a legacy-damaging defeat to Paul.
