‘Iron’ Mike Tyson has told Jake Paul that when they box in July, he should not back out of the ring, and the trash talk has continued as the fight night approaches.
In March, Paul declared that he would finally face the great boxer. The clash of titans is slated to take place at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on July 20th.
Meanwhile, the fight buildup has reached a fever pitch, with both boxers engaging in a verbal battle with everyone on high alert.
Despite the cancellation of some enticing matchups, the undercard is coming together, adding to the event’s allure. The exchange of barbs between Paul and Tyson has reached new heights of intensity.
Jake Paul has made dramatic statements, claiming that one must “die” when the battle ends
Paul has made dramatic statements, claiming that one must “die” when the battle ends and professing unflinching faith in his ability to defeat Tyson.
Tyson OK’d Paul’s threat to the trenches of social media martial arts and, having successfully defended his title, managed to emerge unscathed out of that battlefield, having countered that the Instagram brat turned professional boxer should stand his ground and not allow his weaker-hearted fans’ hopes of his backing off materialize.
The heavyweight icon made an appearance on The Damon Elliot Show to promote the fight. During the show, Elliot, the host, attempted to dissuade Paul from the match, recounting his own experience with Tyson: “Jake, I’ve known Mike since he smacked the s**t out of me at 14-years-old, and my face has never been the same,” he warned.
“Do it Jake, please, don’t listen to this man. Jake, don’t listen to him, please,” Tyson insisted.
The performers faced hurdles in getting their bout approved professionally, and they encountered that the fight would not be official because of their age difference.
Tyson, who is 31 years older than Paul, will have to be a subject of intensive medical examination to ascertain his best fitness for the battle.
Tyson has revamped his lifestyle, diet, and routine for the upcoming bout.
This is why he has stopped smoking marijuana; raw meat remains his food choice.
