Jake Paul shuts down girlfriend\u2019s fears ahead of Mike Tyson fight Associated Press\/YouTube: B\/S w\/ Jake PaulJake Paul has insisted that he is \u201ctoo sharp and fast\u201d for Mike Tyson after he shut down any concerns that his girlfriend, Jutta Leerdam, had about him being knocked out. Leerdam, an Olympic silver medallist speed skater, expressed her fear that Paul might be knocked out during his fight with Tyson later this year. Paul, 30 years Tyson\u2019s junior, reassured her that he was not at risk of that happening when the pair go toe-to-toe at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of the NFL\u2018s Dallas Cowboys on July, 20. \u201cBut what if he knocks you out? Is that your last fight?\u201d Leerdam asked on the BS w\/ Jake Paul podcast. Paul smiled before replying: \u201cShe keeps on asking,\u201d eventually adding \u201che\u2019s not going to\u201d. The pair then agreed that they \u201cshouldn\u2019t even talk about\u201d the scenario as Paul insisted that he would be too much for Tyson to handle. \u201cI\u2019m too sharp and fast,\u201d he said. \u201cJust being active and being the man in the arena for years and years now. Like I don\u2019t even get nervous. The nerves are not even there anymore.\u201d Topic starts at 30:45 The fight has proven to be a polarising match-up. Tyson Fury has insisted that the bout is \u201cfantastic for boxing\u201d, while Anthony Joshua\u2019s promoter, Eddie Hearn, labeled it a \u201cfreak show\u201c. Some of the biggest concerns regarding the fight are over the 30-year age gap between the pair, with concerns emerging over Tyson potentially suffering brain damage. Tyson\u2019s trainer, Rafael Cordeiro, has dismissed fears concerning the boxing legend\u2019s health, insisting that the 57-year-old is in great shape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
