Jake Paul has recently made a significant admission regarding his upcoming fight with boxing legend Mike Tyson. The highly anticipated match is set to take place at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on July 20, marking the first-ever live boxing broadcast on Netflix.
During a recent episode of BS w/ Jake Paul, the 27-year-old influencer confessed to feeling a sense of fear about facing Tyson in the ring. Paul acknowledged the challenge of fighting a formidable opponent like Tyson but expressed confidence in his own abilities, citing his youth, speed, and skill level as advantages.
Speculation surrounding the rules of the fight has been rife, with rumors circulating about the use of protective headgear and larger-than-standard gloves. However, organizers have clarified that there will be no headguards, and both Paul and Tyson have dismissed these rumors as baseless.
Despite the excitement surrounding the bout, there have been criticisms from various quarters. Promoter Eddie Hearn criticized the fight as 'disgusting,' while former UFC fighter and professional boxer Clay Collard expressed a desire to face off against Paul.
Concerns have also been raised about Tyson's ability to pass a medical test due to his age, with rumors suggesting that the fight could be canceled if he fails to meet the required health standards.
As the countdown to the showdown between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson continues, fans and critics alike eagerly await the outcome of this high-profile boxing event.
