Jake Paul Has Vowed To Knock Mike Tyson Out
To his credit, the 28-year-old fighter took the hit like a champ.
He was pretty fired up in the aftermath, sending a warning to his soon-to-be opponent in an interview with Ariel Helwani.
“It’s personal now, it’s personal now. He must die,” he said, vowing to knock Tyson out.
“Mind you, Jake did dat on purpose, he stepped on his foot, on purposed to get a rise out of Tyson to switch da narrative, yet he got rocked by a whole slapped, that he BRACED for,” a fan wrote on X.
