Mike Tyson’s upcoming fight against Jake Paul has been the talk of the town ever since Tyson’s health scare in May. While some fight fans may have doubts about Tyson’s chances, one person who remains unwavering in his support for the former heavyweight champ is none other than combat sports legend Quinton "Rampage" Jackson.
In a recent interview with TMZ Sports at LAX, Rampage expressed his confidence in Tyson ahead of the November 15 mega fight. Despite the ulcer flare-up that led to the fight being rescheduled, Rampage made it clear that he would never bet against his favorite boxer, Mike Tyson.
Acknowledging that "Father Time is undefeated," Rampage emphasized that he is standing by Tyson against his much younger opponent. "Anything can happen in the boxing ring," he said, "but I ain’t gonna go against Mike Tyson."
When asked about Tyson’s comments on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" regarding the possibility of fighting while high, Rampage brushed it off, stating, "Mike Tyson is probably just talking s***, man." He also expressed his disapproval of fighters smoking weed before competing, believing it can only be detrimental.
Regardless of Tyson’s antics, Rampage firmly believes that Tyson will come out on top in the fight against Jake Paul. Whether high or not, Rampage is confident that Tyson will have what it takes to "shut that kid up."
In conclusion, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson’s unwavering support for Mike Tyson showcases the respect and admiration he holds for the former heavyweight champion. As the countdown to the highly anticipated fight continues, fight fans can look forward to witnessing Tyson’s return to the ring with the backing of a true legend in his corner.
