Jake Paul is not holding back as he gears up for his highly anticipated fight against boxing legend Mike Tyson on November 15. During a recent press conference at Fanatics Fest in New York City, Paul made headlines with his bold declaration about his earnings and his plans for the fight.

“I’m here to make $40 million and knock out a legend,” Paul proclaimed, igniting the crowd and emphasizing his intent to cash in while facing one of the most iconic figures in boxing history.

But Paul’s confidence didn’t stop there. He took the opportunity to throw some shade at Tyson and New York City itself. “New York, you’re just like Mike Tyson—you were good 20 years ago,” Paul taunted, drawing boos from the local audience.

Despite the jabs, Tyson, now 58, maintained a calm demeanor during the press conference. Seated beside ESPN analyst Ryan Clark, Tyson smiled and even playfully nudged Paul during their faceoff. When asked why he agreed to fight Paul despite their three-decade age difference, Tyson responded with his trademark confidence: “Because I can. Who else can do it but me? We’ve got a YouTuber fighting the greatest fighter that ever lived.”

Tyson, despite recent health issues including an ulcer flare-up that delayed their original July 20 bout, is still viewed as a formidable opponent.

Jake Paul remains unfazed by Tyson’s legacy. Following the press conference, he took to social media, posting, “This is going to be a painful lesson for Mike Tyson. He likes to say he gave me my start in boxing. Well, I’m going to give him his end.”

With a professional record of 10-1, including a recent victory over Mike Perry, Paul is looking to make a significant mark in boxing. As he continues to build a massive following, his upcoming fight with Tyson is set to be one of the most talked-about events in the sport.
