Sean Strickland rips ‘clown’ Jake Paul for fighting Mike Tyson: ‘This should be illegal’

Sean Strickland does not approve of Jake Paul’s boxing match with Mike Tyson.

Paul (10-1, 7 KOs) takes on 58-year-old boxing legend Tyson (50-6, 44 KOs) in a Netflix special event Friday at the Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Former UFC middleweight champion Strickland is outraged at Paul for going after a fight with Tyson.

@jakepaul is a clown Your ability to make money off stupid people is impressive but being rich won’t buy you dignity You’re fighting a 60 year old man who is just trying to make a dollar by risking his life.. scum bag….

@Robzsafar

Strickland also took a shot at Netflix for promoting the fight.

“It’s odd to me that this woke cesspool would peddle a 60 year old getting abused…. But again Netflix does love when kids mutilate themselves for the trans cause so I’m not that surprised that you have no dignity”

Paul and Tyson were scheduled to fight in July, but the matchup was postponed after Tyson threw up blood when he suffered an ulcer medical emergency. Strickland says Tyson’s health can’t be ignored.

“You’re fighting a 60 year old….. are you a f*cking idiot?? This should be illegal……. The man had a medical emergency a month before this because he’s too f*cking old.. f*cking clown.”
