Dana White has taken another jab at Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer sent shockwaves through the combat sports world by announcing he will face ‘Iron Mike’ at AT&T Stadium in Texas on July 20.
Tyson is 57 and 30 years older the man who will welcome him back to the ring almost two decades after his career in the sport ended with a knockout loss to Kevin McBride in June 2005.
White is one of the many people concerned about Tyson’s return.
On Monday, the UFC boss poked fun at Paul by sharing a mock poster suggesting he will fight 93-year-old Hollywood superstar Clint Eastwood when he’s done with Tyson.
The actor’s son, Scott, originally posted the meme and tagged White in his caption, he wrote: “Hahaha. Dana White this is genius.”
White has already made his opinion on the Paul vs Tyson fight clear.
The 54-year-old is friends with Tyson and risked his wrath by publicly speaking out against the matchup during a post-fight press conference at UFC 299.
“He gets mad when I do this but Mike’s 60,” White said.
“Who gives a s*** what I think? It’s not my fight.
“I love Mike Tyson, personally as a friend, and he’s one of my favourite athletes of all time.
“I don’t know, let’s see what he can go in there and put together in training camp. I don’t like to see guys fighting with a 31-year age difference.”
Paul and White have shared a bitter relationship through the years.
The former Disney actor accused White of underpaying and mistreating UFC fighters – he even made a diss track about the millionaire MMA mogul.
White has been critical of Paul during his 9-1 boxing career but had recently refused to mention his name until he dragged Tyson out of retirement.
A new war of words between the unlikely rivals could begin soon.
