Youtuber turned boxer Jake Paul has become an integral part of the boxing industry. However, he is often criticised by people for being an outsider. Recently, veteran trainer Freddie Roach revealed that boxing legend Mike Tyson left in 30 seconds after seeing Paul spar inside the ring. 

Following Roach’s remarks, Jake Paul revealed his side of the story. He stated that he has never trained at Roach’s Wild Card gym. He even said that Roach is a ‘fu**ing idiot’ and he is a ‘hater‘. Paul further added, “He coached Ben Askren to no avail, literally worthless. He’s off his rocker. He literally trains zero good fighters anymore and is a Jake Paul hater. Mike Tyson has never watched me spar. Mike Tyson has never been in the gym at the same time as me sparring.”

‘The Problem Child’ also mentioned that he had once visited the gym for a meeting. “But Mike Tyson wasn’t anywhere in the vicinity, so it’s just Freddie Roach spreading rumours,” Paul exclaimed.

Following that, he even said that he is friends with Tyson, and he would never do something like this. As per Paul, Tyson would probably say, “‘Ah f*** this kid, let’s go and do something else.’”
