Things are heating up between legendary boxer Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, but what does the former really think about his former YouTuber opponent
The 58-year-old is set to take on the Ohio native on November 15 in a boxing bout that has completely split the sport. Given the 31-year age gap between the pair, many are concerned for Tyson's well-being and safety .
During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Tyson was asked to express his thoughts on the contentious ex-YouTuber. He said: "I like him but in this particular fight he has to go. I don’t look at this like it’s going to be an easy right. This guy is going to be prepared, but I’m prepared for it sure.”
His recent comments contrast his recent admission that he allowed his diet and love for vaping to get out of hand in the build-up to their original fight date. In an interview with the Daily Mail, he said he "can't escape the vapes" and that he was "doing too much bad food and stuff, and I got sick".
