‘Utter Crap’: Fans Erupt as Mike Tyson Curbs Rumors About His Fight With Jake Paul

Mike Tyson ruled out the rumors of him facing Jake Paul, in what could have been a PPV hit at the Box Office. Despite urging to re-enter the ring since facing Roy Jones Jr., ‘Iron’ Mike hasn’t validated his next fight yet. The 55-year-old legend doesn’t really need to lace up the gloves at this age.

However, he spun serious money by offering himself in the exhibition against ‘Captain Hook’ in November 2020. Besides, Tyson appeared commendable in the ring, which evoked the fans to demand more of him in action. As Mike Tyson continues to boast global stardom, several combatants pitched themselves to face him in the future.

Logan Paul, Shannon Briggs, Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, and even Tyson Fury were rumored to be the valid opponent for Mike Tyson’s next exhibition. Amid these names, Jake Paul also popped into the scene. But Tyson ruled out the reports within hours, via social media.

Meanwhile, fans reacted to it and bashed the reports they received. Moreover, they also lauded Tyson for not entering the ring against Jake Paul. Here’s a look at the Twitter reactions.

Jake Paul never claimed to be officially linked in a fight against Mike Tyson. The 25-year-old wants to hold a boxing world title someday. To attain that, Paul needs to face active fighters, and he is already aware of that. While Jake Paul’s brother Logan Paul entered into an exhibition against Floyd Mayweather, Jake Paul denied his possibilities of doing the same.
