At 64 years old, Steve Ward knows a thing or two about boxing. Having fought until he was 64, Ward has expressed serious concerns about the upcoming clash between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. The World’s oldest boxer believes that Tyson, who will be 58 come fight night, could easily knock out Paul within a minute if he is allowed to unleash his full force.
However, Ward is worried that there may be something shady going on behind the scenes that could prevent Tyson from giving his all in the fight. He fears that if Tyson holds back, he will lose the respect of the boxing fraternity. Ward wishes the fight had never been made, as he believes it could tarnish Tyson’s legacy if he doesn’t give it his all.
Having made a miraculous return to the ring after a 23-year hiatus, Ward understands the challenges of coming back to boxing after a long layoff. He sympathizes with the ‘agony’ Tyson must be going through to get back into fighting shape and hopes that Tyson is training himself to peak performance.
Ward’s unique perspective as the World’s oldest boxer adds an interesting angle to the Tyson vs Paul matchup. As the fight date approaches, fans will be watching closely to see if Tyson can overcome any obstacles and come out on top against the much younger Jake Paul.
