🚨 Jake Paul wasn’t taking any risks with Mike Tyson at the press conference

Posted by

Jake Paul spent a staggering $200,000 in an effort to continue his mind games with ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson.

Tyson infamously bit off a chunk of Evander Holyfield’s ear in their 1997 rematch.

And YouTuber turned boxer, Paul, wasn’t taking any chances with the boxing icon and sported a pair of ‘ear coverings’, encrusted with diamonds at the event.

Paul joked: “I’m not getting my s*** bit off on Friday night.

“So I got my diamond-spiked ear covers right there.”

Mike Tyson’s former trainer Teddy Atlas has given his assessment on the fight.

Speaking to The Sun he said: “Is it real? If I am asked a question then I am going to say what I believe.

“I am not trying to point the finger or pour water on their party but a legitimate question from me is; is it real? Maybe it is, I hope it is.

“Is there going to be an honest effort to go and knock the other guy out? Is that really at the forefront of what is in these two guys’ minds?

“Is that what is driving these two guys – or is it strictly just to make money?

“The last thing that goes is power, look at George Foreman.

“Yeah your speed goes and your reflexes deteriorate, no doubt about it, but your power don’t.

“It’s muscle memory and if Paul throws a punch then Mike has the muscle memory to slip it and throw a punch and that’s all the timing he needs to land.

“So, if it is real and legit, I think the first two rounds could be really dangerous for Paul.

“You could see Tyson going out and going BANG, BANG and suddenly Paul has a problem and that’s the curiosity for me.

“I think he has the physicality, even at 58, to hurt the guy – if he has that mental effort and attitude and commitment to want to do it in a legitimate way.”
