Jake Paul Also Rocked Up Wearing A Diamond-Spiked Ear Defender
During the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson press gathering, it was also noticed that Paul was wearing a diamond-spike cover over his right ear – the same sided ear that Mike Tyson bit a chunk out of Evander Holyfield in 1997.
In a clear jibe at Tyson, Paul got a few laughs with the gag – which you can watch above.
Tyson (58) was also asked by a reporter what he’ll do if he loses and what’s next for him.
His simple reply was “I’m not going to lose” – which he began shouting to the cheers of the crowd.

Tony Bellew Kicked Out Of Press Conference
Former heavyweight boxing Tony Bellew, who was sporting a Paddy Power mic, also caused a stir at the press event.
Bellow took to the mic and attempted to confront Jake Paul.
As in the past the Merseysider has made no secret of saying he feels Paul has manufactured a boxing career saying in the past.
“Mike Tyson’s a granddad. He’s 58 years old. He’s closing in on 60 and he’s fighting a man who isn’t even half his age. The Disney Boy is just attacking granddads now. It’s truly frightening. I mean, we might as well go to the retirement home and start getting out a few of them.”
“If Mike turns up and lands a right hand on him, he’s going to sleep. So, who should he come back against? A 70 year old? If he wins, is he going to keep going like that with the age? Is he going to come down? Is he going to face a real boxer?”.
However, Bellew’s rant at Jake Paul at the conference backfired when his microphone with one of the best boxing betting sites in the UK didn’t work and no one could hear what he was trying to say.
As a result, Tony Bellew was escorted out by security (watch below).
