Jake Paul threatens to knock Mike Tyson's teeth out in boxing mega-fight

View21comment0

Jake Paul has warned Mike Tyson he is planning to knock his teeth out when they meet in the ring this summer.

YouTube sensation Paul will take on heavyweight legend Tyson in Texas on July 20. He will enjoy a near 30-year age advantage as Tyson fights for the first time since 2020 when he fought Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition bout. The former undisputed heavyweight world champion will be 58 when he steps through the ropes and has not fought professionally since 2005.

Paul is the favourite to win but when asked what he would do if Tyson tries to bite his ear as he did to Evander Holyfield, Paul told FOX News: "He can’t bite my ear off if I knock his teeth out. I'm the faster man. He’s the much stronger man, but I’m fresh. He’s experienced. I’m smart but in the ring he may be smarter, so it’s a really interesting match-up.

"It’s going to be tough. He looks like a beast, he’s a dog, he’s 'Iron' Mike Tyson but I believe I have what it takes to beat him and I know this is the toughest test of my life and it’s an honour to be in there with Mike, but at the end of the day I’m going to be the one who gets my hand raised."

Tyson has claimed he is afraid of Paul having recently started his training camp. "I have a weird personality - I don't think it's weird though. Whatever I'm afraid to do, I do it. That's how it is," Tyson told Fox News. "I was afraid of the Roy [Jones] fight. I was 100 pounds overweight, I was however old, 54, 53, and I said ‘Let’s do it.' Anything I'm afraid of, I confront it. That's my personality. Right now, I'm scared to death.

"I always believed that adversity and nervousness pretty much catapulted me into success. If I didn't have these feelings, I wouldn't go into this fight. I have to have these feelings to fight. Without them, I would never go in the ring. As the fight gets closer, the less nervous I become because it's reality, and in reality, I'm invincible."
