Conor McGregor, Gervonta Davis, Ryan García, and even J.J. Watt reacted to the outcome of the fight between Tyson and Paul. Jake Paul’s victory over Mike Tyson prompted responses from major figures in combat sports, and Conor McGregor didn’t hold back, criticizing the fight in his typical style—though he later regretted it and deleted the tweet he posted.

What did McGregor say about Tyson vs. Paul?
One of the biggest names in MMA, who himself once stepped into the boxing ring, Conor McGregor commented on the fight, and his words weren’t exactly kind toward the match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson.

“16 minutes of sparring gloves practice—go to hell!” he posted on his ‘X’ profile, but shortly after, he deleted the message.

Not long after, the fighter revisited the subject of the fight, though with an unfortunate comment. His jab at Jake Paul led him to mention that Paul’s next opponent should be Prichard Colón, the Puerto Rican boxer who was left in a vegetative state after his fight with Terrel Williams in 2015.

“They’re considering Prichard Colón as his next opponent,” McGregor posted, only to delete it soon after.

Another who didn’t hold back about the display between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul was Gervonta Davis, a professional boxer and former lightweight world champion. The American stated he wants to be Paul’s next opponent and promised to destroy him.

“Just one thing—I’m going to beat the sh*t out of you when I catch up to you, Jake. I’m gonna hit you with an uppercut, jab, jab, left hook, uppercut, and another hook. Just watch,” wrote the 30-year-old boxer.
