Undisputed light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev is offering YouTuber boxer Jack Paul a free title shot at his four belts at 175 when Jack takes on 58-year-old former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson last Friday night at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. I won.
Beterbiev (21-0, 20 KOs) said he wants to see what Paul (11-0, 7 KOs) has. “Can do within the ring.” It’s unclear if Bitterbeef is just joking to capitalize on the attention the 27-year-old Jack received for beating an older and washed-up Tyson (50-7, 44 KOs) via an eight-round unanimous decision. .
Tyson was over the hill when he retired 19 years ago in 2005, but he was a shell of the then 38-year-old last night before last night’s Circus Level match against Kevin McBride. was lost Impressive Jack. The version of Tyson who lost to McBride would have wiped the deck with Jack. It would have been finished in the first round, but he’s not that much of a fighter anymore.
Beterbeef, 39, is expected to rematch former WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Biol in Riyadh on October 12 last month. The Saudis want a rematch, but may be interested in financing a match between the unproven Jack Paul who was challenging Bitterbeef for his belt.
Jack Paul vs. Artur Beterbiev will sell
This is a fight that will probably sell out on PPV because of Jake’s 26 million followers on Instagram and 20+ million YouTube subscribers. That’s a huge number of people a magician marketer can promote to a fight with Jack Betterbeef. It doesn’t matter if these aren’t boxing fans and don’t know it’s a joke. They will still be interested in seeing the fight, and will gladly pay, believing Jack has a chance.
On to his real boxing side. If Bitterbeef is serious, it would be an insult to the sport, and to make a mockery of it by choosing to fight an inspiration who is more of a hustler than an actual boxer. Also, it would be 100% unfair to contenders like Beauvale and Joshua Bootsy waiting for their legitimate title shot against Bitterbeef.
Jack has created a money-making formula in which he chooses really old fighters who are completely shot and have nothing left, and he capitalizes on their reputation.
