A few months removed from the highly controversial boxing fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, and it is still big talk in the combat sports world.
This past November, Jake Paul caused even more controversy in the boxing world when he took on 58-year-old Mike Tyson in a professional boxing bout.
‘The Problem Child’ went on to pick up a unanimous decision win after a relatively passive fight, which subsequently went on to break modern viewership records after being live-streamed on Netflix.
UFC legend Don Frye ‘disgusted’ by Jake Paul’s fight against Mike Tyson
Despite the fact that we are now a few months removed from the controversial contest, UFC legend, Don Frye, has admitted that it made him want to ‘vomit’.
The fight was slammed by several professionals who thought it was a bad idea for Paul to fight someone 31 years his elder, especially considering ‘Iron Mike’s’ health concerns over the past few years.
It didn’t help the controversy when Tyson came out after the fight and admitted that in the lead-up to it, he feared for his life and ‘almost died’ following his ulcer flare-up which resulted in several blood transfusions.
“I tell you what buddy, that (fight) made me want to vomit,” Frye said (h/t garyhgoodridge)
“I was so disgusted with that I had to go home and put in Tommy Hearns and Sugar Ray Robinson and Sugar Ray Leonard and Jake Lamotta, Rocky Marciano I had to watch some real fighters because if I didn’t I’d never watch another boxing match again. That was a fraud,” he continued.
