Sean Strickland calls Jake Paul \u201cdisgrace of a man\u201d for Mike Tyson fight Associated PressSean Strickland ripped into Jake Paul\u2019s upcoming boxing match with 57-year-old Mike Tyson, calling Paul a \u201cdisgrace of a man.\u201d Strickland is an often-polarizing MMA fighter who calls out his peers at will, never feeling the need to hold back his true thoughts. In an interview with The Schmo, Strickland went off on Paul, criticizing his choice to fight an aging Mike Tyson, calling it \u201cbull****.\u201d Sean Strickland calls Jake Paul \u201cscum\u201d Strickland asked, \u201cHow old is Mike Tyson? 60? 57? Jake Paul, you are a disgrace of a man. You are the epitome of weakness; you are the scum of the Earth. \u201cThe fact that you even have a platform or anything of that nature is a slight on society. You truly make me f****** disgusted. \u201cAnd if I ever encounter you in real life, I hope I just don\u2019t lose my s*** and go to prison.\u201d Paul fans and Strickland detractors quickly rushed to the boxer\u2019s defense, claiming this was an instance of the pot calling the kettle black. One X user also brought up Strickland\u2019s recent beatdown of Sneako as another example of hypocrisy. Another fan says Strickland has no business calling anyone out after he \u201cducked\u201d a previous Jake Paul sparring session. It surely won\u2019t be the last time Strickland and Paul come to verbal blows. Some fans are still proposing a potential fight down the line. After the two entertained a scrum earlier this year, Strickland claimed that the UFC shut it down, making a future match unlikely, barring unforeseen changes. Until then, Strickland will continue throwing jabs in the media at the rising boxing star. As his fans know, Paul isn\u2019t shy about barking back, either.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
