Mike Tyson responded cryptically after the results of a lie detector test involving his upcoming opponent, Jake Paul, suggested that the YouTuber is anxious about his chances of winning their upcoming fight. Originally scheduled for summer, the bout between the former world heavyweight champion, known as “The Baddest Man on the Planet,” and the much younger internet celebrity has been postponed to November. The event, backed by streaming giant Netflix, marks Tyson’s return to professional boxing after nearly two decades.
Meanwhile, Jake Paul, who gained fame as a Disney child star and later as a viral sensation, is relatively early in his professional boxing career, with just ten fights under his belt. Initially set for July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, the fight was postponed due to Tyson’s health concerns following an incident on a flight in May, attributed to a flare-up of an ulcer issue.
During a lie detector test on Logan Paul’s YouTube channel, Jake Paul confidently asserted that he could defeat Tyson on the rescheduled date of November 15.
