Ricky Hatton Discusses Power and Strategy for Tyson vs. Paul

The November 15 clash was originally set to take place on July 20, before “Iron Mike” was taken ill due to an ulcer flare-up which led to the fight’s postponement.

It looks set to be a memorable event with intriguing bouts set for the undercard, but Hatton has revealed his thoughts on the main event between Paul and Tyson: “I think if Mike hits him, he’ll knock him into the middle of next week.”

He continued: “He looks very fast and very explosive. He looks fantastic for his age.”

Looking at what “The Problem Child” should do, Hatton said: “But if you’re in Jake Paul’s corner you would think, ‘he is 58 years old and I’m just going to give him the first two rounds, jab and move, keep out of his range and hopefully he will gas’. You’d expect him to at his age.”

The Brit continued: “Mike will probably put all of his eggs in one basket and start early because of his age and if I was Jake, I would stay out of his jab, wait for him to slow down a bit and put my foot down on the gas.”

Looking at possible methods of success for both, Hatton said: “I can see Mike by knockout if he is to win or if Jake is going to win then he will win on points.”

“Mike Tyson is one of my heroes and is one who is everyone’s hero and I have no doubt that he is one of Jake Paul’s heroes,” Hatton said. “So why you would want to fight one of your heroes who is nearly 60 years of age, and potentially hurting one of your heroes is madness.”
