Jake Paul has made a shocking statement regarding his upcoming showdown with Mike Tyson.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer will face off against the former undisputed heavyweight champion in a controversial match set for July 20 in Texas.
Paul has stirred controversy by suggesting that either he or Tyson “has to die” in their highly anticipated bout.
Despite the concern for Tyson’s safety, who will be 31 years Paul’s senior on fight night, Paul remains adamant about not holding back.
“It’s war. All is fair in love and war,” Paul stated, emphasizing the seriousness of the fight. He believes Tyson’s dedication to the match will make it thrilling for fans.
Despite the age gap, Paul acknowledges Tyson’s advantage but is confident in his own one-punch knockout power.
The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation approved the fight to be a professional bout, reportedly at Tyson’s request.
Paul clarified that it was Tyson who wanted the fight to be professional, indicating the seriousness of their clash.
Paul hasn’t been in the ring since his last match in December, while Tyson’s last fight was in November 2020. With both fighters eager to prove themselves, their upcoming bout promises to be intense and potentially life-changing.
