Mike Tyson went confidently silent during a bizarre sit-down interview with upcoming opponent Jake Paul, telling the 27-year-old he was going to crush his dreams of having the biggest night of his life.
In an in-person interview just days before their Nov. 15 showdown on Netflix, both men answered questions in unconventional positions, sitting backwards in their chairs.
Tyson looked the calmest and most confident he's ever been heading into the fight, making some frighteningly calm statements reminiscent of his days as champion.
When asked how Paul knocking out Tyson would affect his career and legacy, the former YouTuber said: “Obviously, when we put this guy to sleep on Friday night, it's going to be the biggest moment in boxing history. “I'm deaf,” he answered.
Tyson turned to the host with a creepy grin on his face and said, “He dreams a lot.''
“This isn't going to happen, young man,” Tyson added.
Paul explained that he was “really” scared that Tyson might knock him out and that he felt fear while watching videos of Tyson training.
“My mom is sending a message…I can't even watch Tyson punch. I don't want to watch because I'm scared,” Paul said.
On the other hand, Tyson was asked what would happen if he lost to a less experienced fighter.
“Well, I'm not going to lose. I can't imagine losing. I can't imagine. He's not going to win,” the 58-year-old empathized. “I think he thinks it’s going to be an easy night, but I don’t think it’s going to be an easy night.”
“I'll feed my peregrine falcon.”
of strange interview After telling the producers to “shut up,” Paul gave Tyson an obscure gift.
“This is a Southeast Asian pigeon, and it's very expensive, but I wanted you to keep it,” Paul said, placing the caged bird between them.
“Thank you, Jake,” Tyson replied before analyzing the pigeon.
Tyson, who is known for tending pigeon coops, called the pigeons a “low-budget bloodline” and added: “Obviously no one loves him.”
“Let's feed my peregrine falcon,'' Tyson decided.
“We paid thousands of dollars for that,” Paul reiterated.
When the interview ended, Tyson admitted that he could not take the pigeons and that he would never actually feed them.
As cameras follow Tyson's training for the fight, his training becomes more and more impressive. In one video that has gone viral online, fighters appear to be knocked out His sparring partner sent him falling into the ropes.
Tyson recently stated that he has been taking large amounts of hallucinogens, even admitting that he could get high on mushrooms during a fight.
“If I'm not eating mushrooms, then I'm probably going to eat… mushroom leftovers. I'm going to eat mushroom leftovers, not mushrooms!”
