However, the contest was somewhat underwhelming as Tyson struggled after the first minute.

Shannon Briggs' Perspective on Jake Paul and Tyson's Clash

Briggs' View on Jake Paul's Boxing Abilities

The former YouTuber and gifted marketer, Jake Paul, believes he has what it takes to win a world title in the cruiserweight ranks. But Briggs, with his own boxing experience, has a different take. He describes Paul as more entertainment than a true boxing talent. "He's more entertainment," Briggs emphasizes. When considering potential opponents like undisputed light-heavyweight king Artur Beterbiev and new heavyweight titlist Daniel Dubois, Briggs advises Paul to stay away. He believes Logan, Jake's brother, is actually more gifted in the ring. "Logan got a lot more to be honest with you. He can really fight, I'm not gonna lie. He's got some skills."

Briggs' Thoughts on Tyson's Last Fight

Briggs expressed happiness for Tyson, who at 58 years old was able to make money and feed his family through the fight. He had predicted this rise for the Pauls years ago when working with them. "I was happy for Mike to be at 58-years-old and to be able to make money, feed his family. I foreseen this years ago when I was working with Jake Paul and Logan Paul. I said to Jake one day you’ll fight [Floyd] Mayweather and I told Logan one day you’ll fight Tyson. They thought I was crazy. It happened in reverse. What can I say? I tell no lies."
