Jake Paul admits family is concerned over \u201cscary\u201d Mike Tyson fight YouTube: Jake PaulJake Paul has revealed that his mom is \u201cvery scared\u201d of his fight with Mike Tyson as she doesn\u2019t like the idea of them getting in the ring together, especially after seeing Tyson\u2019s training clips. Back in March, when Jake Paul and Mike Tyson revealed that they would fight, the boxing world was split. Many critics \u2013 including some active and retired boxers \u2013 pointed to the massive age gap between the two fighters. The YouTuber-turned-boxer had to put that scheduled July clash on hold after Mike suffered an ulcer flare-up. He\u2019s been back in training since, however, as the pair are gearing up to fight in mid-November. Those critics have continued to voice their concerns about the fight. Some former fighters have called it a \u201cscam.\u201d Others have claimed that they will never meet in the ring. According to Jake, his mom \u2013 Pam Stepnick \u2013 would prefer it if he didn\u2019t go to war with \u2018Iron\u2019 Mike. \u201cThey (family) will definitely be there,\u201d the social media star told reporters at a media scrum for PFL. \u201cMy mom is very scared actually. She keeps on asking me if I\u2019m ready, asking my team if I\u2019m if I\u2019m ready and she\u2019s not liking this one. Mike just looks scary and big. His Instagram videos look crazy. So she\u2019s like watching all of that and just not liking it.\u201d Despite his family being worried about his fight with Mike, Jake has been supremely confident in the build-up. He\u2019s repeatedly said he believes he\u2019ll win and do so in a fashion that will propel him onto other things. It has been suggested by the WBA that the 27-year-old could meet former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. for a title in the near future. Jake, however, still has a commitment to the PFL that he hasn\u2019t fulfilled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
