The highly anticipated match between legendary boxer Mike Tyson and YouTube sensation Jake Paul has sparked predictions from far and wide.
The fight, set to take place on July 20 in Texas, has caught the attention of many, including rap icon Lil Wayne.
Appearing on the sports talk show Undisputed, Lil Wayne was asked about his prediction for the heavyweight contest.
The rapper expressed his unwavering support for Tyson, stating that even at 85, Tyson’s workout punches could knock out anyone. His collaborator Cam’ron, however, did not share this sentiment.
Cam’ron, who appeared on the show It Is What It Is earlier this year, backed Jake Paul to pull off an upset. He stated that if Tyson did not knock out Paul within five rounds, Paul could win the fight.

This prediction led to a humorous exchange with co-host Ma$e, who warned Cam’ron about running into Tyson.
In an unexpected turn of events, Cam’ron did encounter Tyson at an airport shortly after the show. Ma$e humorously recounted the incident, stating that Tyson wanted to talk to Cam’ron about his comments.
The encounter left viewers praying for Cam’ron, highlighting the potential repercussions of making bold predictions.
The upcoming fight marks Tyson’s first professional contest since his 2005 loss to Kevin McBride, although he did participate in an exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020.
As the date approaches, Lil Wayne and Cam’ron’s diverging predictions add to the anticipation, making the Tyson vs. Paul match one of the most eagerly awaited events of the year.
