Jake Paul responds to Mike Tyson\u2019s boxing bout idea on Jimmy Kimmel Mike Tyson \/ adsterphotos via Jake Paul InstagramJake Paul responded to Mike Tyson\u2019s Jimmy Kimmel interview where the former boxing World Champ said he\u2019d want to step into the ring against the YouTuber in 2022. Paul has been getting a ton of gas early in his boxing career despite the lack of professional boxers he\u2019s squared off against. Still, as a 5-0 boxer his name is starting to get brought up more and more by people who want to give him the first blemish of his career. He\u2019s already locked in for an August Pay-Per-View match at Madison Square Garden but has yet to reveal who will fill out his card with about two months left to go. Regardless, it seems as though Paul could have his next event lined up already after Tyson\u2019s late-night show appearance might finally produce Iron Mike vs The Problem Child. Thank you to the great Mike Tyson for the respect and opportunity. This year we are making it happen. pic.twitter.com\/dlGQUf2EP0 \u2014 Jake Paul (@jakepaul) June 18, 2022 After Tyson told Kimmel that he would oblige Paul\u2019s request to step into the arena, Paul caught wind of the famed boxer\u2019s response sometime later. \u201cThank you to the great Mike Tyson for the respect and opportunity. This year we are making it happen,\u201d Paul said. Tyson seemed willing to set up a match with Paul, and he thinks there\u2019s no better time than the present to get a show like that going. \u201cHe\u2019s skilled enough, yes, I\u2019m gonna give it to him. Because he\u2019s winning\u2026 You gotta give him credit, he\u2019s beating people he shouldn\u2019t be beating. \u201cHe\u2019s doing so much for boxing\u2026 Anything is possible, but it\u2019s gotta happen this year.\u201d Paul has earned Mike\u2019s respect since the YouTuber first started his fighting journey in early 2020, and it\u2019s been just enough to buy some 1-on-1 time with The Baddest Man on the Planet. There are no details on a possible Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson card so far but, if both are serious about putting an event together, we could find out more soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
