Jake Paul really wants to knock out Mike Tyson. Paul and \’The Baddest Man On The Planet\’ had a press conference in Arlington, TX on Thursday. Paul shared some interesting quotes regarding his upcoming battle with Tyson and Jake was asked if any of their fight could be scripted. Paul dismisses that notion.
\”I hope y\’all keep that same energy when I knock this old man the f*ck out. Clearly, they don\’t have a high IQ in here, but that\’s a federal crime.\
Mike Tyson Channels Scott Steiner
Tyson had his own set of words on his opponent Paul and pulled a classic page out of the book of Scott Steiner during the TNA days. Paul, who is noticably taller than Tyson, came in much bulked up. Tyson decided to make note of Jake\’s weight gain.
\”I don\’t know if he\’s in his prime. He\’s fat. He should be lean and mean and he\’s fat and funky. I saw him with his shirt off though and he\’s fat.\
Paul responded to Tyson\’s shot, and he didn\’t shy away from his new bulkier frame.
\”Hey, Buster Douglas was fat. Am I right? I know, but you know Buster Douglas, I\’m better. I\’m going to end you quicker than he did and you\’ll remember that forever.\
The fight is set to take place on July 20 in the AT&T Stadium down in Dallas, TX, the home of WrestleMania 38 where Jake\’s brother, Logan Paul, made his WrestleMania debut.
Netflix will host the fight, and whether that may be scripted or not, their new property WWE RAW will be at the start of 2025.
H/t to PWInsider for the quotes.
