Mike Tyson's Response to Jake Paul's $5 Million Fight Bet Will Surprise You!
Mike Tyson has broken his silence on Jake Paul’s jaw-dropping $5 million bet for their highly-anticipated fight, and the response might not be what the young YouTuber-turned-boxer was hoping for.
Ever since the announcement of the rescheduled bout between Jake Paul and the legendary Mike Tyson, the excitement and anticipation have been building up. While doubts linger regarding Tyson’s age and health, the hype surrounding the match at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas, is undeniable.
Jake Paul has made it clear that for him, it’s Tyson “or nothing,” ruling out any backup fighters for the showdown. With Netflix's involvement and the grand stage set for their clash, both fighters are looking at substantial paydays.
Not one to shy away from theatrics, Jake Paul attempted to up the ante by proposing an additional $5 million incentive for Tyson. In an October 8 TikTok video, he challenged Tyson, stating, “Mikey, Mikey, if you can last more than four rounds with me, I’ll give you an extra $5 million.”
Despite Paul's claims that Tyson was ignoring his offer, the former heavyweight champion has now responded to the bet. In an interview with USA TODAY Sports, Tyson suggested, “He should offer more. Tell him probably about 20 (million).”

If Tyson were to accept the bet and face defeat, he would be required to get an ‘I love Jake Paul’ tattoo, adding an extra layer of stakes to the already high-pressure match.
When discussing their strategies for the fight, Tyson expressed confidence in his abilities, stating, “I don’t expect him to come head-on and fight me, so I’ll have to catch him for a couple of rounds,” in an interview with USA Today Sports.
On the other side, Jake Paul aims to outmaneuver the heavyweight legend by adopting a tactical approach. “Box on the outside and then use my footwork to be more agile and get him chasing me,” Paul revealed in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter.
