Even though he retired from professional boxing in 2020 he would be interested in one more fight
The Jake Paul versus Mike Tyson fight was a highly anticipated one. Everyone was excited about it and the boxing world was waiting for the arrival of the date to know what was going to happen. However, things changed and what was going to be probably the most watched fight of the year, for many reasons, will just not be.
Mike Tyson had a health issue while on a plane and even though he claimed to be feeling well and ready to continue his preparation for the fight, doctors and team members called for a cancelation leaving thousands of fans and followers disappointed.
There could be one last hope for a great fight involving at least one of the parties that originally were scheduled but there are some conditions. It turns our Jake Paul as been called out and it was another retired boxer.
Amir Khan expressed his desire to fight Paul even with him having gained some weight. The former world champion is not at around 230 pounds, so he will likely have to lose some of it to be in fighting form if he wants to really be competitive against the fit Paul.
While Amir Khan has been very vocal about the possibility of returning if the conditions are right, there is a small chance this can go down. Considering there is hope that Mike Tyson can be physically ready by the end of the year to fight Jake Paul, the feel around the boxing world is that it might be complicated to do something in the current year.
"If the weights are right," Khan told Offshore Poker Sites, "I don't mind giving away 20 pounds. It just depends on the weight because I know Jake has put on a lot of weight to fight Mike. Jake is not normally that big, but he's put on a lot of mass, so it depends on him, whether he's willing to lose that weight and we find some middle ground somewhere." It might not be easy but you can't rule anything out.
