During his BS w/ Jake Paul podcast, Paul stated, “I want to see how hard he hits. Mike, I really want to see, bro. Let’s see all the legends, the myths because you’re Iron Mike Tyson, but I have an iron chin – people know that. I take shots.” He even added that people are underestimating his capability to handle Tyson’s power, and he will prove them wrong. 

While most influencer boxers would think twice before poking the sleeping giant, Jake Paul has decided to enter the ring with him. Meanwhile, his reaction to Tyson’s training doesn’t indicate he is worried. However, everyone has a plan until they get hit in the face. Do you think Paul can handle Mike Tyson?
