Jake Paul issues $5M challenge to Mike Tyson ahead of Netflix fight

Jake Paul is hoping to do better in his upcoming fight with Mike Tyson.

Tyson and Paul are scheduled to box on November 15th on Netflix after their bout, originally scheduled for July of this year, was postponed due to Tyson having a health scare on a plane.

In a TikTok video this week, Paul offered Tyson an additional $5 million with conditions.

“Mikey, Mikey, if you last more than four rounds with me, I'll give you an extra $5 million,” said Paul, who has been wearing a fat suit in his fight promotional videos in recent weeks.

“But if you don't, you should get a tattoo that says 'I love you Jake Paul.'

Tyson has not yet accepted the challenge, and a representative for the 58-year-old fighter did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Post.

In an interview with Esquire in July, Tyson sounded confident about the fight.

“He doesn't think so.” [Paul] It could hurt me,” he said.

Tyson added, “This is what I started fighting for, to get all this fucking king status. I know that I'm going to spend the rest of my life chasing it. I want it. I can never get things because I'm a pain person. I can never be satisfied.”

In an interview with the Post in June, Paul explained his rationale for the fight.

“I just want to take risks,” Paul said at the time. “I think I'm crazy about this. I definitely am, because I don't think anyone would take a risk in this position, but that's what makes me different. I has no intention of slowing down for anyone and wants to stay active at the gym.

“At the end of the day, he's Mike Tyson. He's got deadly knockout power and he's very experienced. I think it's going to be a brawl no matter how you look at it.”
