Mike Tyson is gearing up for a showdown with Jake Paul, and he's not holding back. The former heavyweight champion is ready to put it all on the line in the ring and has thrown down the gauntlet for Paul to step up to the challenge.
The much-anticipated match between Tyson and the influencer-turned-boxer, Jake Paul, has been making waves in the combat sports world. With the fight scheduled for November 15, fans are eagerly awaiting the clash between the seasoned veteran and the rising star.
In a recent trailer released by Netflix for an upcoming documentary series on the lead-up to the fight, Tyson made a bold statement. The 58-year-old expressed his desire to achieve immortality through victory in the ring, stating, "If I do it bad, I don’t want to die in a hospital bed, I want to die in the ring."
Tyson, known as 'Iron Mike,' appeared on Fox 4 Dallas, where he voiced his concerns about Paul potentially evading the fight. He challenged Paul to engage in a real fight, emphasizing that he is prepared to go all out and would rather risk it all in the ring than play it safe.
Expressing his doubts about Paul's willingness to engage in a toe-to-toe battle, Tyson remarked, "I don’t see how he’s gonna make it an exciting fight by running all day. He’s supposed to be the young guy, he’s supposed to go right through me. I’m supposed to be the old man."
Tyson extended an invitation to Paul to trade punches, confident in his ability to handle the younger opponent's hits. He emphasized his intention to bring the pain to Paul, promising fight fans an unforgettable spectacle filled with intensity and raw emotion.
Despite warnings from Jake Paul's brother, Logan, about the risks involved in facing Tyson, the boxing legend remains unfazed. Tyson has made it clear that he is unafraid of whatever Paul brings to the ring and is determined to deliver a memorable performance for fans worldwide.
The highly-anticipated boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul is scheduled to be broadcast live on Netflix on November 15. Fans can expect an electrifying showdown between two fighters from different generations, each with their own point to prove.
