Paulie Malignaggi has cast doubt on Mike Tyson’s motivation for his upcoming fight against Jake Paul, suggesting that recent training footage may not accurately reflect Tyson’s current state of preparation. Despite Tyson’s impressive display on the pads, concerns linger due to his age and recent scenes where he was seen using a walking stick.

While there’s a significant experience gap between Tyson and Paul, the 31 years age difference raises health concerns. The fight set for July 20 has drawn criticism from the boxing community with some questioning its legitimacy and impact on Tyson’s legacy.
