When Mike Tyson was in his prime, even the greatest boxers of his era feared him. ‘Iron Mike’ had everything that made him the most terrifying fighter on the planet, often finishing his fights in the first round. Now, at 58, Tyson is back, preparing for a fight against Jake Paul, who is half his age. As the fight draws closer, Tyson has issued a chilling warning to Paul, reminding him of the danger he will face inside the ring.
Ahead of their November 15 fight, a video has emerged showing Tyson watching Paul call him out. In the video, Paul expresses admiration for Tyson and acknowledges his legendary status. However, he confidently claims that boxing is now his sport, not Tyson’s.
While stressing how honored he is to face Tyson in the ring, Paul also declares his intent to take Tyson’s throne, signaling his determination to make a lasting impact against the former champion. In response, Tyson reminded Paul not to forget that he is a natural killer, unlike “The Problem Child,” who he claims is made out of PR.
“There is a fundamental difference between me and Jake. He’s a manufactured killer. Television and papers made him a killer, he’s manufactured. I’m a natural-born killer. That’s the difference,” Tyson said.
There is no doubt Tyson’s words serve as a clear warning, highlighting the raw, untamed power he brings to the ring compared to Paul’s media-driven persona. Now, it will be interesting to see if Tyson can once again show why he was once feared by so many. Proving that despite the years, his legendary presence still holds weight inside the ring.
