Jake Paul responds to \u201crumors\u201d of Mike Tyson walking out on sparring session YouTube: Jake PaulYouTube boxer Jake Paul has dismissed claims made by Freddie Roach alleging that Mike Tyson walked out on the influencer after just 30 seconds of watching him spar. Jake Paul is taking the influencer-boxing world by storm after announcing his upcoming bout against MMA legend Anderson \u2018The Spider\u2019 Silva, set for October 29. However, this isn\u2019t the only combat sports GOAT he\u2019s been rubbing elbows with. Paul has also made friends with \u2018Iron Mike\u2019 Tyson, with the two expressing admiration for each other many times in the past. The boxers even made mention of a possible match between them, but it doesn\u2019t look like this particular bout is coming to fruition anytime soon \u2014 an opportunity that was plagued by recent claims from boxing coach and former pro boxer Freddie Roach. Just this week, Roach said that Mike Tyson had allegedly walked out on one of Jake Paul\u2019s sparring sessions after watching \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 in the ring for a mere 30 seconds. \u201cTyson looked at him and left,\u201d Roach claimed. \u201cHe saw 30 seconds of him sparring and said, \u2018Freddie, can we go downstairs and look at the pictures?\u2019 He knows that\u2019s where the good pictures are.\u201d Jake Paul has now responded to these claims, calling them mere \u201crumors\u201d and blasting Freddie Roach for making statements that he says are untrue in an interview with Talk Sport Boxing. Jake Paul blasts \u201crumors\u201d of Mike Tyson walking out on sparring session \u201cI saw these things that Freddie Roach was saying, that I was sparring at his gym,\u201d Jake began. \u201cFirst of all, I\u2019ve never even trained at Wild Card Gym. Freddie is a f**king idiot. He\u2019s a hater. He coached Ben Askren to no avail. Literally worthless. He\u2019s off his rocker.\u201d \u201cMike Tyson has never watched me spar,\u201d Jake continued. \u201cMike Tyson has never been in the gym at the same time as me sparring. I went to Wild Card once to talk to somebody for a meeting and for my brother\u2019s press conference there.\u201d \u201cBut Mike Tyson wasn\u2019t anywhere in the vicinity. It\u2019s just Freddie Roach spreading rumors. Especially since me and Mike are friends. Mike wouldn\u2019t do that.\u201d As for whether or not he\u2019ll actually meet Mike in the ring one day, Jake says \u201cit would be dope to fight\u201d the boxing legend \u2014 but fans will have to wait to see if this happens after his October bout with \u2018The Spider\u2019 comes to pass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
