A pre-fight press conference with Jake Paul and Mike Tyson brought out the hype in full force.
It’s fighters’ hands and footwork that are put to the test in the ring, but ahead of time – at press-conferences, weigh-ins and the like - it’s their mouths that get a workout. And this week, that’s exactly what happened between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson.
The crowd reportedly booed Paul, who responded in kind: “Hey Dallas, shut the f--- up. Y’all keep booing, I’m going to keep doing. That’s how y’all want to do it? … I told y’all the ultimate f------ hillbillies. Go milk a cow.” He added: “I hope y’all keep that same energy when I knock this old man the f--- out. Clearly, they don’t have a high IQ in here, but that’s a federal crime.”When asked if he is risking serious injury going up against someone that much younger, Tyson said, “I don’t know if he’s in his prime. He’s fat. He should be lean and mean and he’s fat and funky. I saw him with his shirt off though and he’s fat.
Douglas was a huge underdog in a 1990 fight against Tyson. In the 10th round of their bout, Douglas became the first fighter to knock down and defeat the champion. In retirement his weight ballooned.
