Mike Tyson Vows to ‘Slaughter’ Jake Paul, Says ‘Even My Mother Wouldn’t Be Safe’ in the Ring

Mike Tyson Vows to Slaughter Jake Paul
‘Iron’ Mike Tyson was one of the most feared strikers in boxing history. With his impressive power, he won the vast majority of those bouts by way of knockout and collected world titles during the 1980s. The 58-year-old athlete has not been active in professional boxing since 2005 but had an exhibition match in 2020 that ended in a draw.
‘The Problem Child’ Jake Paul is a popular influencer who converted his YouTube fame into a successful career in the boxing ring. Along the way, Paul has defeated former UFC fighters such as Anderson Silva, Tyron Woodley, Nate Diaz, and others.
Aligning with his infamous attitude during the 80s, Mike Tyson is coming into this match, at the AT&T Stadium in Texas, looking for blood. He is looking to injure Jake Paul or anyone else standing across from him; even if its his own mother.
In an interview with talkSPORT, Tyson explained:
“I see him running around and I have to try and catch him and slaughter him. Whoever is in that ring has a problem with me. If my mother stepped into the ring she has a problem with me. Don’t go in that ring if you don’t want that problem. He’s a good little fighter but he’s only had ten fights which is considered as an amateur in our field.”
Jake Paul (10-1, 7 KOs) will look to temper the fury of the 58-year-old heavyweight boxing legend ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson (50-6, 44 KOs) when they meet on November 15. This will be a professional bout and will go on each fighter’s permanent boxing record.
