Jake Paul declares his fight with Iron Mike Tyson will only end with someone getting KO’d as the YouTuber vows it will not go the distance when they meet at the AT&T Stadium on Friday, November 15.
The bout has been eagerly anticipated since being announced in March and the hype has only continued to grow after it was postponed from the initial July 20 date due to an ulcer flare up for Tyson.
Since then, a lot of words have been exchanged and a lot of videos showing them both working out and getting into shape for the clash, which will be streamed by Netflix, but now the 27-year-old Paul may have sounded the strongest declaration of war yet.
“Official rules for #PaulTyson,” Paul posted to X.com, formerly Twitter. “Someone is getting knocked the f**k out. The end.”
Tyson will return to the ring as a professional for the first time since 2005 when he unceremoniously ended his career by retiring in the sixth round against Kevin McBride, a journeyman.
