Mike Tyson Has a Warning for Jake Paul

Mike Tyson has cautioned Jake Paul that he’ll be at his “most vicious” for their long-awaited fight. His warning is just the latest in a growing list of moves meant to hype up the upcoming match, which will be broadcast by Netflix.

The event itself was originally planned to take place on July 20. But the fight was postponed because of Tyson’s health issues, as the legendary boxer was dealing with an ulcer flare-up at the time. The match is currently scheduled to take place on Friday, November 15. Both Tyson and Paul have been hyping up their clash on social media in recent weeks.

The popular YouTuber and boxer KSI reveals he is ready to fight rival YouTuber Jake Paul; however, he has a few conditions that need to be met.

In yet another example of this trend, Tyson took to Twitter on November 7 to share a montage of some of his past fights and interviews, interwoven with footage of wild animals butting heads and hunting prey. “This was me at my most brutal,” the boxing legend remarked. “Now, @JakePaul will see me at my most vicious,” he warned. Twitter users have viewed his warning over 217,000 times in the first 12 hours since he posted it.

Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson Fight Is Already Driving a Lot of Netflix Traffic

Jake Paul, for his part, has also been promoting the upcoming match in recent weeks. He most recently did so on November 7, when he publicly pointed out that Countdown: Paul vs. Tyson is currently one of the most popular Netflix series. Specifically, the pre-match documentary is currently in the top 10 most-watched Netflix shows across 80 countries.

The social media buzz surrounding the upcoming clash is fairly diverse, and there doesn’t seem to be a clear consensus among fans about who is going to win. Bookies, however, heavily favor Jake Paul, and anticipate that there’s a greater chance of a draw than a Mike Tyson win. The only other time that Paul faced off against a boxing legend in the ring was back in 2021, when he fought Floyd Mayweather Jr., who was already retired at the time. While no winner was announced after the full eight rounds, Logan later said he thought Mayweather was going easy on him, which the 15-time world champion subsequently confirmed was the case.

Mike Tyson has previously praised celebrity boxing fights of this sort, calling them an illustration of the sport’s “power” and a way to boost its popularity in the internet era. His fight against Paul will be part of a larger event at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, which is scheduled to kick off at 8pm ET on November 15.
