Mike Tyson has given Jake Paul a reality check that all boxing fans would have wanted to give him. The legendary boxer told him the truth about fighting Conor McGregor. However, it doesn’t seem to have deterred his desire to fight ‘The Notorious’.

The two spoke about it on an episode of ‘HotBoxin with Mike Tyson’, a snippet of which they shared on his Twitter. In the video, Paul explained the situation and questioned McGregor’s decision of fighting Dustin Poirier.
“I called out Conor McGregor while the whole entire world was watching. He’s fighting a guy, Dustin Poirier, who’s 5’9”, 155 lbs, who he TKOed already, in one round. He’s fighting him again. Why?” said Paul.
