Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson called out as \u201cscam\u201d by boxing legend who wants Jake fight NetflixJake Paul\u2019s fight with Mike Tyson has been called a \u201cscam\u201d by a boxing legend, as he wants to take on the YouTuber-turned-boxer himself. When Jake Paul and Mike Tyson first announced that they\u2019d be fighting, there were plenty of skeptics. The majority pointed to the massive age difference between them, especially as Tyson is 58-years-old. The former heavyweight boxing champion had to pull out of the first fight date after he suffered an ulcer flare-up during a flight. Jake fought and beat Mike Perry in his place, but the fight with \u2018Iron\u2019 Mike has been rescheduled for mid-November. There have been some critics who believe the fight will never happen, citing Tyson\u2019s health problem as a barrier. Former boxer Eric \u2018Butterbean\u2019 Esch is one such critic as he believes the \u201cscam\u201d fight will never happen. \u201cHim and Tyson are never gonna fight,\u201d Butterbean said during a recent Q&A at Georgia Pop and Horror Con. \u201cThat has been a scam from the very beginning just to boost Jake\u2019s name \u2013 and it has. \u201cThis guy, everybody\u2019s talking about him. But he\u2019s never gonna fight Tyson. They were never planning on fighting each other, because a promoter would never let him fight anyone else in between a fight. Never. Not that big a fight. So, it\u2019s been a scam from the beginning.\u201d The 58-year-old, former super heavyweight, has called Jake out himself, offering the YouTuber-turned-boxer a \u201cwinner-takes-all\u201d fight worth $2 million. He\u2019s also posted TikToks of himself in training, urging the social media star to respond. \u201cJake Paul! What are you waiting on? We going to do this or what?\u201d he said in his most recent call out. The \u2018Problem Child\u2019 and Tyson have both stated they\u2019re confident that the fight will happen in November. Though, Jake has reportedly got Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. as a back-up. So, we\u2019ll wait and see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
