Jake Paul was untruthful during lie detector test ahead of Mike Tyson pairing
And when asked if he would be confident of definitively beating Tyson come to their professional boxing match later this month in Arlington, Texas — Jake Paul maintained he was, but lie detector results posted in a video on his social media indicated the Ohio native was in fact being untruthful.
I think I’m going to, I don’t know, it’s going to be tough. It’s going to be tough,” Jake Paul explained during the video posted online. “I think Mike (Tyson) is a killer at any age.”
And issuing somewhat of a warning to Paul and even fans of his during the run-up to their massive showdown in ‘The Lone Star State’, Tyson maintained that despite many in the public’s perception of him — he is far from a “nice” person.
There’s nothing nice about me,” Mike Tyson told The Independent and other publications over Zoom, two weeks before his fight. “I’m not a nice person. I’m a decent person, I try to do the right thing. But a nice person, I am not. Anybody with the [idea] that I’m a nice person is gonna be disappointed. I’m just not. I don’t make people happy for no reason, I’m just who I am. I’m not trying to gain friends, that’s basically what I’m saying. I don’t want to make friends with you, I don’t care if you put me on your yacht, I don’t give a f***. I’m not gonna ever be nice to nobody; I’ll be kind, but never nice.”
