Jake Paul compared himself to Muhammad Ali and issued death threats to Mike Tyson during another farcical press conference that culminated in a clownish shoving match in New York.
‘We will see who’s dead, Mike,’ the YouTuber-turned-fighter told Tyson ahead of their rescheduled fight in Texas on November 15.
The clash, which will be shown on Netflix as the streaming service continues its move into live sports, was pushed back from July 20 after Tyson suffered an ulcer flare up.
Paul mocked the former world heavyweight champion over his enforced ‘menopause break’ but the 58-year-old insists he has been back in the gym for a few weeks and is ready to face an opponent three decades his junior.
The Baddest Man On The Planet – whose last professional fight was in 2005 – was born across the East River in Brooklyn and Tyson was given a hero’s welcome by the raucous crowd at Fanatics Fest NYC in Manhattan.
