There is one day left for Jake Paul and Mike Tyson to collide in a boxing ring, and the former YouTuber is the main one responsible for heating up the fight with trash talk, against a calmer image of ‘Iron Mike’. In the pre-fight press conference, the former heavyweight champion simply said “I’m not going to lose” when asked about a hypothetical defeat. “I’ve already said everything I had to say, I just feel like fighting,” Tyson explained.

Jake, for his part, was more eager for action. In fact, as is often the case with him, he had a strategy in mind to try to light Tyson’s fuse. He went to the press conference with a diamond ear guard, claiming that “I don’t want Tyson to bite my ear, that’s why I got this diamond guard.” ‘Problem Child’ is quite a showman, although this time his provocations were in vain. Tyson’s attitude was that of a man who has emptied his social battery and only thinks about putting on the gloves to settle his debts.
On the internet you’ve been saying you’re going to kill me, but then in person nothing
Not even more direct attacks resulted in the slightest hint of anger on Tyson’s face. “On the internet you’ve been saying you’re going to kill me, but then in person nothing. I don’t know, it’s pretty boring,” Paul complained. However, ‘Iron Mike’s’ response did not come, there was only impassivity. Tyson only has eyes for tomorrow, the ‘show’ is over.
With an eye on Canelo
Since Mike Tyson was not finding what he was looking for, Jake Paul also remembered Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. The historic Mexican boxer is still active as a champion, enhancing his legacy, but the American has his sights set on a future fight against him. “If he doesn’t accept my challenge he’s a b****,” he said at this week’s media open workout with a rooster cap on. He has every move thought out and analyzed to the millimeter.
In a podcast with Sean O’Malley – former UFC bantamweight champion – he went further, as if he beats Tyson he wants to challenge the Mexican for the title, something unlikely to say the least. “I’m going to prove that I’m the face of boxing. The biggest fight is Canelo against me for the 200-pound title,” he said.
Canelo is on his last legs, and he’s going to want a good payday before he leaves
Although Canelo continues to successfully defend his belts, for the former YouTuber his career is already on the home stretch. “Canelo is on his last legs, and he’s going to want a good payday before he goes. I want to show the world that what I’ve said about being able to beat him is true,” he concluded.
