Jake Paul has stirred the pot once again, this time targeting boxing icon Mike Tyson in a fiery exchange leading up to their anticipated bout, reported by Marca. In a recent Instagram post, Paul wasted no time in poking fun at Tyson’s padwork training video, igniting a war of words between the two fighters as they prepare to face off in the ring.
Tyson’s return to the ring against the YouTube sensation turned professional boxer has garnered immense attention, with fans eagerly anticipating their clash at the AT&T Stadium in Texas on July 20.

The buildup to the fight has been filled with tension and excitement, as both fighters gear up for what promises to be a showdown of epic proportions. Initially announced on March 7 and later confirmed as a professional boxing match on April 29, the stakes have never been higher as Paul and Tyson prepare to go head-to-head in the ring.
What Jake Paul said
In an interview with USA Today at the Formula One Miami Grand Prix, Paul left no room for ambiguity about his intentions. While expressing respect for Tyson’s legacy, Paul made it clear that he is entering the ring with one goal in mind: victory. “I love Mike. I’m super respectful of him. It’s an honor to be in the ring with him. But I have to end him,” Paul declared. “It’s war. All is fair in love and war. I love the guy, but as soon as it turned into a pro fight, one of us has to die.”
