Jake Paul launched a threat, wanting the boxing legend not to play badly in the upcoming fight.
The boxing world is waiting for the biggest age difference match in history between Mike Tyson (57) and Jake Paul (27) on July 20 in Texas (USA). In terms of track record, Jake can’t compare to the world’s youngest former heavyweight champion Tyson, but the famous YouTuber is more appreciated for his youth.

The “Steel Puncher” last played his professional fight in 2005, he also had a fight with Roy Jones Jr. in 2020.
He had many wins of his life, with knockouts in the first round, but Tyson was also mentioned by the incident that bit off part of Evander Holyfield’s ear in 1997.
Speaking recently to Fox News, Paul threatened: “If I get bitten, I’m going to punch his teeth. I’m the faster one. He has power, but I’m young. He’s experienced. I’m smart, but in the ring he can be smarter, so it’s going to be an interesting fight.”
The 27-year-old is confident of beating his big rival: “Of course it’s very difficult. Mike is like 1 monster and is known as “The Steel Puncher” Tyson. But I believe I have the ability to beat him and I know this is a tough challenge and a great honour for a fighter’s life.”
For his part, Tyson shared that he used to feel quite scared before entering the match against an opponent less than 30 years old, but that pushed the “Steel Puncher” forward.
Tyson told Fox News: “I have a very strange personality, every time I go into a fight the feeling of fear comes up. It was the same with Jones and right now, I’m scared to death. I’ve always believed that adversity and anxiety have led me to success. Without these feelings, I wouldn’t be on the radio. I have to have these emotions to fight. As the game approaches, I’m less worried by the fact that I’m invincible.”
