Jake Paul threatened to break his “steel” uncle Mike Tyson’s teeth if he was bitten

The Boxing world is waiting for the biggest age difference match in history between Mike Tyson (57 years old) and Jake Paul (27 years old) on July 20 in Texas (USA). In terms of achievements, Jake cannot be compared with the youngest former world heavyweight champion Tyson, but the famous Youtuber is more appreciated for his youth.

“Iron Fist” last played a professional match in 2005, and he also performed in the ring with Roy Jones Jr. in 2020.

Having had many lifetime wins, with knockouts in the first round, Tyson was also mentioned by the incident of biting off part of Evander Holyfield’s ear in 1997.

Speaking recently to Fox News, Paul threatened: “If I get bitten, I will punch and break his teeth. I am faster. He has strength, but I am young. He has experience. I smart, but in the ring he can be smarter, so it will be an interesting confrontation.”

The 27-year-old boxer is confident in defeating his big opponent: “Of course everything is very difficult. Mike is like a monster and is nicknamed “Iron Fist” Tyson. But I believe I have enough ability to fight. Defeated him and I knew this was a difficult challenge and a great honor for a boxer’s life.”

For his part, Tyson shared that he felt quite scared before entering the match with an opponent 30 years younger than him, but that only motivated “Iron Fist” to move forward.

Tyson told Fox News: “I have a very strange personality, every time I go into a fight, a feeling of fear appears. The match with Jones was the same and right now, I’m scared to death. I always believe that adversity and anxiety brought me to success. If I didn’t have these emotions, I wouldn’t be in the ring. I have to have these emotions to fight. As the match approaches, I’m less nervous because of reality , I am invincible”.
