JAKE PAUL seemingly DOESN’T BELIEVE he’ll win his showdown with Mike Tyson – and neither does his brother Logan. The YouTuber-turned-boxer is set to throw down with the former undisputed heavyweight champion in a Texas tussle on November 15.
Jake, 27, has exuded confidence throughout the build-up to the controversial clash, which he’s vowed to win in emphatic fashion. But a lie detector has sensationally claimed the former Disney star isn’t buying what he’s selling.

Jake and his older brother Logan recently asked one another hard-hitting questions while being hooked up to lie detectors. And The Problem Child was left gobsmacked when it emerged that his sibling thinks he’ll lose to Iron Mike, asking: “What the f**k?”
Logan then turned the tables, asking: “Do you believe you’ll actually beat Mike Tyson?”
Jake replied: “Yeah, I’m not hooked up to the lie detector.”
The lie detector was quickly hooked up to the social media sensation, which prompted Logan to ask him if he believes the age difference between himself and Tyson will have a bearing on the outcome of the fight.
Jake quickly replied: “No, I think Mike is a killer at any age.”
The lie detector determined he was telling the truth, prompting Logan to ask his brother again: “Do you really think you’re going to beat Mike Tyson?”
Jake paused and took a breath before replying: “Yeah.”
His answer, however, was determined to be a lie, prompting Logan to say: “Ooh.” The clip went viral and even came to the attention of Tyson, who shared it with his 30 million Instagram followers. And the boxing legend couldn’t help but laugh at the clip, emblazing three laughing emojis across the video.
Paul and Tyson were initially set to trade heavy leather on July 20. But their crossover clash was postponed last month after Tyson suffered a medical emergency on a plane.
