Jake Paul and Mike Tyson have the world’s attention as they got in the boxing ring together on Friday. The long-awaited match between the heavyweight fighters has many fans debating on social media about who will come out on top. Amid the anticipation for tonight’s winner, many are also intrigued with the certain A-listers who showed up to see the fight.
In particular, people on X, formerly Twitter , are wondering why actress Rosie Perez is an official commentator of the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight. “What the hell is Rosie Perez doing there?,” one person wrote on X.
Full fight rules for Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul including rounds and gloves ‘I saw Mike Tyson and Jake Paul up close - I’ve made up my mind on fight outcome’ Another asked: “Tff is Rosie Perez doing there??? #PaulTyson,” along with someone else who questioned: “F- -k is Rosie Perez doin here.” One joked: “I really hope Rosie Perez isn’t calling this fight because I’ll turn it off.
” While some didn’t understand Rosie’s presence at the big-time event, others weren’t too surprised. “Cedric the Entertainer and Rosie Perez just like we all expected," one tweeted. Not only is Rosie a dancer, choreographer, and Hollywood actress, but she’s also a boxing fanatic.
Given that she loves boxing, and often attended Mike’s fights in his heyday, it makes sense that she’s a commentator. “It’s gonna be and interesting matchup,” Rosie said to Variety. “Jake Paul is in his late 20s, and Mike Tyson is 58.
Three decades. It’s crazy.” She added: “Everyone hated on him when he first got into boxing, including myself.
But it was less about hate, it was more about concern. This is a real sport. You don’t play boxing.
People can get hurt. People have lost their lives in the ring, so that’s why I was against him. But he just kept going.
He kept going and going.” Despite being Mike’s friend, the White Men Can’t Jump actress isn’t taking sides when it comes to who she thinks will win, believing each has a 50/50 shot. “Mike looking the way he looks now it’s, everyone’s saying it’s a 50/50, chance,” she said.
“Where before they were like, ‘Jake Paul has this in the bag because he’s younger and he does have knockout power.’ He’s knocked out about five of his opponents — but they all weren’t Mike Tyson.”.
