Mike Tyson will take on Jake Paul this summer in what will be a professional boxing fight albeit with big gloves and two-minute rounds
Former Premier League striker Troy Deeney believes Jake Paul is being protected after the announcement of the rules for his fight with Mike Tyson .
Asked what would happen if Tyson knocked out Paul, the former Watford striker told talkSPORT : "I think that's why the 14oz gloves are there. When you are watching the videos you can see that he still has the capabilities to tuck you in." He went on to add: "We had a show a couple of weeks back with Roy Jones Jr and I asked the question 'Come on, it's a bit dodgy this, the big gloves, 14oz gloves'.
"I think the problem is we're all sitting here saying we know what that fight is. We know that it is more entertainment than a serious boxing match. Look at Fury-Usyk coming up for example, but I think the worry we all have is we don't want to have that conversation after if something was to go wrong. And we go, 'told you so, why didn't you listen?'"
