And while many of the fights might be captivating, is the main draw. However, the fight could end sooner than expected if the YouTuber-turned-boxer against the 58-year-old Tyson and his ferocity.

"If Jake moves like Larry Holmes did, around in circles, ducking punches then he might be able to survive," Larry Holmes explained to OLBG. "But if he doesn't move around, duck Mike's punches, he's not going to make it. He has to bang that jab out. Block what he throws and throw back. If he doesn't fight Mike Tyson smartly, using movement and jabs, he won't win. If tries to trade punches he's not going to win.

"The only way he wins the battle is if he runs," Holmes added. "If he doesn't use his jab and movement, it's goodnight, Irene. He's in trouble if he does not use his jab. You have to beat Tyson to the punch, use the jab, and be first. When the bell rings, Tyson's going to run at him, and he'll have to stop Mike with a strong right hand and left hook."
