Mike Tyson had some words for Jake Paul ahead of their big fight. Mike Tyson is still a stone cold killer.
Jake Paul best be careful stepping into the ring against Mike Tyson. That's not just anyone you're going up against. That's a natural-born killer. Don't believe me? Just take it from Tyson himself. He seems like he's in the zone and ready for this fight.
Mike Tyson Delivers Message To Jake Paul Ahead Of Big Fight
Fighting and boxing matches are usually all about the hype. Especially leading up to the event. Fighters will do whatever it takes to get inside their competition's head. That's one of the reasons Jake Paul is so famous right now. He's not afraid to chirp and mess with the people he's going up against. Nothing seems to be off limits. He'll holler at your girlfriend, make videos about you, whatever needs to be done. However, Mike Tyson doesn't need to rely on those types of tactics--he's Mike Tyson!
In a video making the rounds online, Tyson is seen watching a TV interview with Jake Paul in which Paul is asked if he has a message for Tyson. Paul addresses the camera saying, "Mike, I love you, but this is my sport now. It's an honor to get in the ring with you...but I'm gonna take your throne, brother." How does Mike react? Is he scared? Is he intimidated? No way. He responds by giving a cold stare to the camera before laughing and saying, "There's a fundamental difference between me and Jake. He's a manufactured killer. Television and papers made him a killer. He's manufactured. I'm a natural-born killer. That's the difference." Ooo that's cold! He's not wrong either!
The highly anticipated fight happens Friday night (November 15th) on Netflix. Who do you think will end up winning? Hopefully it's all for real and not some agreed upon stunt. That would be a bummer for all of the viewing audience. This best be a real fight and not some stunt so the two fighters can make some money. Jake Paul is very good at scheming and making money. I wouldn't put it against him for this to all be a stunt to line his pockets. I want to see a real fight between these two. Mike Tyson is one of the best to ever do it but he's gotten significantly older since his prime. Jake Paul has been making a name for himself in the boxing world recently and is one of the bigger names in the sport already. A win against Tyson could prove that he's legit and not just some social media star looking for some clout. So, what do you expect to happen on Friday?
