But fear not, it’s not the kind of fear you might expect from the former heavyweight champion.

“Imagine,” Tyson chuckled, “I step into the ring with Jake, thinking I’m in for a standard boxing match, and next thing I know, I’m getting pranked in front of millions of viewers! I’ve been knocked down before, but being the punchline? That’s a whole different kind of knockout!”
Despite his jesting demeanor, Tyson’s remarks shed light on the lighthearted camaraderie and mutual respect that exists between athletes, even in the face of intense competition. While the prospect of facing off against Jake Paul may elicit nervous laughter from the former heavyweight champion, it’s clear that Tyson’s fears are all in good fun.
