Jake Paul didn’t hold back when criticizing his recent fight with boxing legend Mike Tyson, expressing disappointment over the Hall of Famer’s performance. The pair squared off on November 15 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, in a highly anticipated heavyweight matchup. However, the bout fell flat for many fans and critics as neither fighter inflicted significant damage.
Paul ultimately secured a unanimous decision victory after eight rounds, improving his professional boxing record to 11-1. Despite the win, the YouTuber-turned-boxer voiced his dissatisfaction during a recent episode of the IMPAULSIVE podcast, where he discussed the fight with his brother, Logan Paul.
Paul criticized Tyson for his conservative approach, claiming the boxing legend spent most of the fight “surviving.”
“I wish he would have put up a better fight so I could have risen more and done more,” Jake explained. “He was just surviving, and that’s the only thing I didn’t like.”
Logan, echoing his brother’s frustration, commented, “It’s so annoying when they don’t bring the fight to you. But Tyson did land a couple of punches-how did they feel?”
Jake, however, dismissed Tyson’s attacks.
“Nothing. Didn’t feel a thing, to be honest,” Paul responded. “Even the ones he landed, I saw them coming. They didn’t hurt.”
Record-Breaking streaming success
