Jake Paul slams Mike Tyson fans for \u201cunderestimating\u201d his boxing ability Associated PressJake Paul\u2019s latest podcast episode had his brother Logan as a guest, and it didn\u2019t take long for the upcoming Mike Tyson fight to take center stage of the discussion. On the BS w\/ Jake Paul podcast, Jake had his brother, Logan Paul, on the show to talk about everything going on in the combat sports world. Naturally, only minutes into the show, Logan asked whether or not Jake was nervous about fighting a former boxing champion of the world. And not just any former champ \u2014 the \u2018Baddest Man on the Planet.\u2019 Jake provided an honest assessment of his feelings as the Mike Tyson Netflix match fast approaches. \u201cYo, when you see Mike Tyson hitting them pads, do you get a little nervous?\u201d Logan asked. After a slight delay, Jake replied, \u201cYeah, I do,\u201d which caused everyone to begin chuckling. But he explained why nerves aren\u2019t necessarily a bad thing. \u201cBut, it\u2019s motivating. And I think it\u2019s good to carry fear into the ring and with you on a daily basis when you\u2019re training because it makes you better. \u201cIt excites me that I have my toughest, craziest, and most powerful opponent to date. And the challenge of going up to heavyweight is kind of fun.\u201d Although Jake believes he is a worthy competitor for Tyson, he sees all the predictions that claim \u2018Iron Mike\u2019 will put the YouTuber-turned-boxer to sleep with a single right hook. \u201cI will say people are underestimating me, though. Because when I go to his comments, people want to do everything they can to discredit me,\u201d Paul remarked. \u201cThey\u2019re just saying that if Mike loses, then fighting is rigged. That\u2019s basically every comment because they see how good he looks on the mitts.\u201d Then, Jake looked directly into the camera to address Tyson. \u201cBut Mike, looking good on the mitts is not even half the battle. You have to face me in the ring.\u201d Logan chimed in with a ringing endorsement for his brother. He says that when he\u2019s watching a Jake Paul fight, he can tell from those in attendance that they are shocked by how hard \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 hits. \u201cThere\u2019s a moment, I can see it watching from the side. They all go, \u2018Holy s***, this YouTuber hits much harder than I thought.\u2019 \u201cYou can see that change in their eyes, but I\u2019m not sure Mike will have that moment. I think Mike, contrary to your belief, is not underestimating you.\u201d The two men will share a ring on July 20 in front of a packed AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas. Will Jake\u2019s promise of victory come to fruition, or will Tyson prove the Paul doubters correct? Jake may be nervous, as he admitted in the podcast, but make no bones about it: He\u2019s chomping at the bit to get in the boxing ring with a living legend and show fans what he can do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
