In a dramatic moment from the press conference between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul ahead of their blockbuster heavyweight fight on November 15 on Netflix, we know that Tyson’s fists can still fly and Jake should be worried. Watch Mike Tyson attack Jake Paul with a quick and deadly combo. The 27-year-old tried to keep his cool and let Tyson look like the aggressor as they went toe-to-toe at their second official press conference ahead of the fight on Sunday.
He stood stock-still, knowing Tyson wouldn’t throw any serious punches at him on camera, but Iron Mike’s smug smile signaled that he knew if he landed the right punch, Jake Paul would be embarrassed to death. “A smiling Mike Tyson is scarier than anything I want to see again,” one commenter on the video on X, formerly Twitter, said.
With a professional record of 10-1, including a recent win over Mike Perry, Paul is aiming to continue his ascent in the sport, and the Tyson fight could be his most defining moment to date. The influencer-turned-fighter drew attention with a number of comments from the event in New York City. First, he made it clear that he was ready to cash in on one of the most iconic fighters in boxing history, making a shocking claim about his upcoming payday. “I’m here to make $40 million and knock out a legend,” Paul boasted, sending the crowd into hysteria.
He didn’t stop at his massive earnings. He took the opportunity to mock Tyson and his hometown, criticizing New York City itself: “New York, you guys are just like Mike Tyson, you guys were good 20 years ago,” Paul shouted, drawing boos from the local crowd. Paul was in full promotional mode for the fight, leaning into his role as the bad guy. But Tyson, at 58, made sure his opponent didn’t forget that he would have to back up his words in the ring. His provocative combination served as a reminder that despite his recent stomach ulcer delaying their original July 20 fight, Tyson still packs a punch that can kill at any age.
