Jake Paul assessed his chances in a battle against Mike Tyson

Boxer and YouTube vlogger Jake Paul shared his expectations for the exhibition match against the legendary Mike Tyson.

Paul believes that the chances in the fight are even, and he can withstand punches from “Iron Mike”.

"It's 50/50. To the people who think I can't win: I'm younger, faster, sharper, and I can punch just as hard as he can. I can take his punches," Paul said, quoted by Michael Benson.

Tyson and Paul are set to face off in a boxing match on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, USA, in the main event of the card, which will be broadcast on Netflix. The fight will be exhibition in nature.

The event will take place at the 80,000-seat arena of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys. More than 85,000 people have signed up to gain access to tickets for the event when they go on sale.
