Lennox Lewis simulated Jake Paul versus Mike Tyson with the bout ending in devastating fashion.

Paul, 27, announced he will take on former unified heavyweight champion Tyson, 58, in Texas on July 20.

Tyson will be lacing up his gloves for the first time since an exhibition bout with Roy Jones Jr in 2020, while he has not competed professionally since 2005.

Meanwhile, YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul will be competing in his 11th career fight, having so far notched a record of nine wins, including six knockouts as well as one defeat, which came against heavyweight Tommy Fury.

While much has been made of Tyson’s age, with the boxing legend set to be 31 years Paul’s senior at the time of the fight, former undisputed champion Lewis has shared how he thinks the contest will play out.

In an intriguing social media post, Lewis shared a simulation of the fight, alongside the caption: "So I hear Mike Tyson will be fighting Jake Paul. Not quite sure how that will go but it could be something like this."

In the clip, Paul and Tyson come face-to-face in the octagon in the UFC 5 video game.

Tyson comes flying out of the traps by landing a booming right hand which sends Paul crashing to the canvas with his very first punch.

Within seconds, Paul collapses on the canvas while Tyson has his hand raised in victory.

While that scenario seems highly unlikely, the likes of Joe Rogan have insisted Tyson still has the tools to dismantle Paul.

Rogan said on his eponymous podcast: "I don't give a f**k if he's 55, that's still Mike Tyson. He trains with Rafael Cordeiro, who’s a legend in MMA. He runs Kings Mixed Martial Arts. Rafael is a world-renowned trainer. When you see him holding the mits for Tyson and Tyson is smashing the mits. Jesus! That guy can still f*** you up.

“In this world with hormone replacement and vitamins. He does all this electrical muscle stimulation recovery stuff.

“When they were training Mike for that Roy Jones fight they were using state-of-the-art science. I don’t give a f*** if he’s 55 years old that guy will hurt you. If Jake Paul’s on the other side of the ring and he sees Mike Tyson bobbing and weaving he’s going to have a recognition.

“He’s going to look over and go, ‘Oh my God, that’s really Mike Tyson.’”
