Mike Tyson has sent a chilling warning to Jake Paul as he gets ready to step back into the ring against the novice fighter.
Paul has made an impressive start to his fighting career after scoring several high-profile wins, but he faces his most notable name next month when he goes up against the former heavyweight champion.
At the peak of his powers, Tyson was boxing’s dominant fighter as he climbed the rankings in a rapid manner on his way to conquering the division in the 1980s.
Tyson exited the sport in 2005 following a loss to Kevin McBride, but he has participated in multiple exhibition bouts including a 2020 battle with Roy Jones Jr.
Despite being largely out of action for the best part of two decades, Tyson is entering his contest with Paul in a confident manner, and he feels like he’ll have to hunt his opponent.
The New Yorker is aiming to get close to Paul so he can unload his heavy shots, and he’s recently took time to speak about the fight.
“He is going to be running around, and I have to catch him and slaughter him, said Tyson when speaking to Talksport .
“If my mother stepped into the ring, she has a problem with me. Whoever is in that ring, they have a problem with me. Don’t go into the ring if you don’t want that problem.”
