YouTube Boxing sensation Jake Paul can’t wait for his upcoming cross-generational bout against former undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. Counting each day that passes by, ‘The Problem Child’ shared a clip of himself training on the heavy bag, which seems to have attracted a plethora of opinions from the public, including the CEO of Fanatics Michael Rubin. 

Paul will lock horns with ‘Iron’ Mike on November 15th at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home to the Dallas Cowboys. It will feature 10 two-minute rounds, which will see 58-year-old Tyson’s professional return to the ring since suffering defeat at the hands of Kevin McBride in 2005. However, the question remains, what did ‘El Gallo’ say that has the boxing world talking? 

Jake Paul promises ‘Uncle Mike’ Tyson a good night’s sleep

Turning to Instagram, the Cleveland native wrote, “38 days until uncle Mike goes nighty night.” Meanwhile, in his clip, Paul can be seen throwing combinations at the heavy bag while showcasing his fast and agile footwork, moving around the bag, as if it was Tyson in their fight night. 

Interestingly, there have been concerns surrounding the fight””while some are all for it, others have expressed concerns for Tyson, who suffered a medical emergency earlier this year on a cross-country flight. However, Tyson himself has claimed that he is doing great and ready to knock Paul out during their fight. 

Since then, the duo have exchanged barbs on social media, creating hype for their one-of-a-kind fight later this year. Paul’s recent post was no different, as he took shots at the youngest heavyweight champion of the world. However, it didn’t quite land with everyone in the boxing community. 

Fan shares quick and brutal prediction

Paul has a large following online, which coupled with the excitement about the fight, quickly saw hundreds of people expressing their thoughts on the post. Starting with Michael Rubin, who suggested he was “locked in” for the upcoming bout. Interestingly, Tyson and Paul came face-to-face at Rubin’s Fanatics Fest in New York City on August 18.

Meanwhile, scoffing at the Paul-Tyson fight, this user brought up another fight he wanted Paul to see in. “Run it back with Tommy,” the user wrote. Notably, Tommy Fury defeated Jake Paul in a cruiserweight bout back in February 2023 via a split decision. 

Another user seemed to be impressed with Paul’s improved footwork. The user commented, “His foot work actually looks nice.” Despite fighting UFC fighters and unknown boxers, Paul has been praised by many for showing rapid improvements in his game. 

The next user mocked Jake Paul for being excited to knock out a 58-year-old. The user wrote, “Excited to ko a 60 year old wat a guy.” There are some ethical issues with the fight, but Tyson himself has agreed to the fight and the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations have sanctioned it. So, there’s not much anyone can do about it. 

Someone else shared their bold prediction of the fight. “Tyson wins Round 1 👊 💥,” commented the user. While Tyson has ended fights in the first round in the past, many question his ability to do the same at 58. 

That being said, Jake Paul clearly has support for his upcoming fight against Mike Tyson. However, he has not been able to convince everyone about it. What about you? What are your thoughts about the upcoming fight?
