Jake Paul calls out Mike Tyson to make blockbuster fight happen YouTube: Showtime Sports\/Jimmy KimmelJake Paul is still eager to fight boxing legend Mike Tyson and has called on the former Heavyweight king to \u201cmake it happen\u201d in the near future. YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul has been linked with a whole host of fights over the years, but there\u2019s one big one that he\u2019s been pushing quite regularly \u2013 himself versus \u2018Iron\u2019 Mike Tyson. \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 has routinely said he\u2019d fight the boxing legend at some point, and Tyson has been open to doing it as well. Though, he\u2019s set a lofty price tag and would want it to happen before the end of 2022. Time is obviously running out on that front. Even though he\u2019s currently gearing up to fight Anderson \u2018The Spider\u2019 Silva in October, Jake is still down to fight \u2018Iron\u2019 Mike, as he believes it would be a \u201ccrazy\u201d fight for the both of them. Jake Paul still wants to fight Mike Tyson During the second press conference for his fight against Silva, Jake was quizzed about the potential of fighting another \u201clegendary\u201d fighter down the line, and whether or not he had a name in mind for that possibility. \u201cMike Tyson! That would be crazy,\u201d the YouTuber-turned-boxer quickly answered. \u201cI have so much respect for him. He\u2019s another one of my idols, and he said he wanted to do the fight. Mike, where you at? \u201cBro, you said it on Jimmy Kimmel or Jimmy Fallon, one of the Jimmies, so let\u2019s make it happen.\u201d A fight between Jake and \u2018Iron\u2019 Mike would certainly have plenty of intrigue surrounding it, given that Tyson has proven he can still box pretty well despite being 56 years old and having numerous long-standing injuries. Whether or not it\u2019ll ever happen, though, remains to be seen, especially as Tyson hasn\u2019t made any further advances on his previous claim of wanting to fight at some point in 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
