An exchange between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul has resurfaced ahead of their July superfight.
But Tyson also has reason to want to teach the 9-1 boxer a lesson. In a 2021 face-to-face meeting, the youngest heavyweight champion told Paul, "You know Conor McGregor isn’t afraid of you" after he called out the two-weight UFC championIn response, Paul said, "I don’t give a shit if he’s afraid of me, you don't have to be afraid of someone to get your a** beat".
Paul's retort to the Baddest Man on the Planet could have been deemed disrespectful and there is another story claiming thatPaul's boxing debut was on the undercard of Tyson's return in 2020 and now the 57-year-old plans on "finishing him".Tyson said: "He's grown significantly as a boxer over the years, so it will be a lot of fun to see what the will and ambition of a 'kid' can do with the experience and aptitude of a GOAT.
"It's a full circle moment that will be beyond thrilling to watch; as I started him on his boxing journey on the undercard of my fight with Roy Jones and now I plan to finish him.”to the news of the fight, saying that "interest is low" and describing the match-up as a "bit strange".
