Jake Paul has been a controversial name in the boxing and combat sports world for years, constantly facing famous fighters from both sides of the ring. However, Paul’s journey continues and this time he has successfully pulled one of the biggest names of all time – Mike Tyson.
Mike Tyson was guaranteed $20 million to fight a fighter 30 years his junior. Jake Paul was also given double that amount for successfully organizing the fight. However, Paul did not intend to go easy on his legendary uncle.
“When it happens, it’s going to be sweet pain because I love him, but at this point, we have to fight. He’s trying to take care of me and I’m trying to take care of him, that’s what fighters do. For me, I’ve dreamed about it, I’ve obsessed about it, this is going to be the start of a 12-year career in entertainment, acting and everything I’ve done in this sport. This is finally my moment, my time to shine and show the world who I am.”
“Because everyone doubted me, I was not recognized and had to do it to get everything. I was rejected on every platform but now I am organizing the biggest event in the industry.”
“It was written in stone,” Paul said of his ability to knock out the American legend, not forgetting to be cautious about the danger Roy Jones Jr. once mentioned .
“This is the scariest man on the planet. Just look at him sitting here right now. He’s a beast, the picture he put on Instagram scared me a little bit because he looked really good, but I have to reach this level and show people, I can achieve incredible things, what the Jake Paul story is.”
“He was a scary guy, a real killer and his power is still there, in the training videos, sparring with his sparring partners. My mom texted me that she couldn’t see Mike’s punch. It scared her. He had the most dangerous punch of all time. I had to be ready for that.”
The heat of the match was raised many times when Mike Tyson slapped Paul in the final confrontation this morning. All of this seemed to confirm that, regardless of the reason for coming to this match, the “uncle – nephew” match Tyson vs. Paul will not be as lenient as many people doubted.
