The Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight isn't until July, but the hype machine for the heavyweight bout, which will be broadcast live on Netflix, began to flock to gyms just as Mike Tyson fought.
Have you seen those training videos? Jake Paul has.
The former YouTube star, who has transformed into a full-fledged professional pugilist four years later, stopped by Jesse Watters' primetime FOX show on Wednesday after a short clip of Tyson started putting shots in the jaws of everyone who watched. , stood up to protect himself.
“Mike says you're making mistakes,” Watters said during his corner, making no attempt to hide his knowledge from boxing fans. “What do you say? What about you?”
“Oh, I think he underestimates me,” Paul said. “I really, really think…you know, he's the bigger guy, but I'm the faster guy. He's a much stronger guy, but I'm fresh…the whole world and a lot more.” People are watching his training videos.
“And yes, he looks like a beast. He's a dog. He's Iron Mike Tyson.”
But in his only match against a current professional boxer, can Paul actually believe he has what it takes to face the most ferocious and undisputed world heavyweight champion of all time?
“I believe I have what it takes to beat him,” Paul said. But at the end of the day, I'm the one who raises my hand. ”
So Watters needed to use a little common language. That's his move. Feint, feint, inside, kidney, kidney, uppercut. I mean, you know the result now,” Watters boasted.
Mr. Watters also, to be fair, set up the best line of Paul's interview with a question that anyone might ask. “What would happen if Tyson bit your ear off?”
“He can't bite my ear off even if I knock out his teeth,” Paul replied.
And Paul hits him in the jaw! Watch the entire exchange in the video above.
Tyson vs. Paul will be streamed live on Netflix on July 20th.
