Many fans recognized the boxing legend, and few even managed to get pictures with him. The ailing legend was reportedly very accommodating and was eventually escorted away from the gate because the flight was delayed.

I don’t know how much confidence Jake Paul has, but he will be a lot quicker. If he stays close to Mike, then his chance of winning is going to be great. But if he tries to stay back from Mike, then he is going to get caught.
