Jake Paul stealing the show is a dangerous omen for boxing
November 28 was one of the year’s craziest nights to date, yet an actual fight between 54-year-old Mike Tyson and 51-year-old Roy Jones Jr. doesn’t top the list of reasons why. In fact, the Tyson-Jones main event doesn’t rank in the top three....
