Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson: Face Off,Tyson laughed in Jake’s Face
In about two months, two generations of boxing are coming face to face in Arlington, Texas, and neither Mike Tyson nor Jake Paul are hiding their ages.
Tyson, 57, and Paul, 27, began their press tour for their highly anticipated fight on Monday at the famed Apollo Theater in Harlem, New York. And, despite being mere miles from where Tyson grew up, the crowd seemed pretty split between the two.
The July 20 bout would mark Tyson’s first fight in four years, since he fought Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition (Paul was on the undercard against Nate Robinson). This would be a sanctioned, professional fight, which Tyson has not competed in since June 11, 2005, against Kevin McBride.
Formerly known as the “baddest man on the planet,” Tyson has been posting clips of his training, and make no mistake, his power is still there.
Once a man who exuded more confidence than anyone, Tyson clearly knows that Father Time is undefeated, and he was completely honest about how he feels physically.
The YouTuber turned boxer has made the sport the most popular since Tyson’s heyday. They have done it in very different ways, but it would not be an exaggeration when one says that this could be the biggest fight in modern history.
It’s almost ironic that Paul is becoming the best boxer of all time in his last two fights (Andre August and Ryan Bourland, each of whom were first-round knockouts) against boxers no one has ever heard of.
So, when a fan asked Paul if he could “take a hit” from Tyson, his confidence was on full display.
“They call him Iron Mike Tyson, but I’m titanium Jake Paul.”
“I’m going to show the world that I can beat Mike Tyson, prove everybody wrong and show that I’m the one who kills,” Pryor said.
However, despite how his body felt, Tyson gave Paul fair warning.
Face Off
Mike Tyson may be 57 years old, but he still has the ability to take over a room just by saying a few scary words.
The man who once declared “I’m going to rip his heart out” didn’t go that far at Monday’s kickoff press conference for his July 20 fight against Jake Paul, but the menacing tone was still there. Remaining fairly quiet during the proceedings, Tyson admitted that he really likes Paul as a person, but once they start throwing hands none of that matters.
“I really like Jake a lot,” Tyson said at a New York press conference. “But once he gets in that ring, he has to fight like his life depends on it. Because it will.”
This left the spectators breathless, but Paul did not blink an eye in front of his most experienced opponent during his young boxing career.
Now weighing in at over 230 pounds and preparing to compete as a heavyweight for the first time, Paul praised Tyson for working so hard to make this fight a success. In fact, Paul claimed that it was Tyson who requested the change from an exhibition to a sanctioned, professional fight, so the result could end up on both of their pro records.

“That was the game,” said Paul. “I think he’s always wanted to do this. It’s been a long time coming. We’ve been calling each other for years and we finally managed to make it happen on Netflix, the biggest platform in the world. Things keep getting bigger.” And getting better.
“This is what Mike wanted. Mike wanted it to be a professional fight. He wants war. I respect it. I respect him for taking this fight forward, for trying to finish me off. Because that’s what all these fighters are trying to do is end the YouTuber – and if Mike can do that, he’s a hero.
Of course, Tyson addressed the biggest concern surrounding Paul’s fight, and that’s due to his age.
In his prime, Tyson was one of the most ferocious and brutal boxers in history.
