Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson is done talking about his upcoming match against Jake Paul and ready to put on his gloves.

The 57-year-old Tyson—who, in April, said he was “scared to death” of stepping in the ring against Paul—was confident enough to trade barbs with the social media star at the official news conference for their July 20 bout. 

Tyson took jabs at the 27-year-old Paul’s physical condition and questioned the legitimacy of the YouTube celebrity’s nine prior boxing wins. “Who did he knock out? Who did he knock out—little children. He never knocked out a real man. Come on,” Tyson said. “Listen, we’re here—we did enough talking. I’m ready to fight.”

The upcoming eight-round fight in Arlington, Texas, will stream on Netflix and is considered a sanctioned professional match. Tyson’s last competitive fight was a June 2005 loss to Kevin McBride by technical knockout. In November 2020, he battled former champion Roy Jones Jr. to a draw in an eight-round exhibition.
