Jake Paul \u201cserious as a heart attack\u201d about beating Mike Tyson in boxing match YouTube: FLAGRANT \/ Instagram: miketysonYouTube boxer Jake Paul is confident he could take on \u2018Iron Mike\u2019 Tyson in the ring and live to tell the tale thanks to his self-proclaimed \u201cdelusional optimism.\u201d It\u2019s no secret that Jake Paul is the biggest name in the influencer boxing game right now. Boasting an undefeated 5-0 record, he\u2019s now training up for his next fight against heavyweight pro Hasim Rahman Jr on August 6\u2026 but he\u2019s got his sights set on even bigger opponents for the future. Paul recently appeared in an episode of Andrew Schulz\u2019s \u2018Flagrant\u2019 podcast, where he boasted that he could win a boxing match against none other than the legendary Mike Tyson. \u201cYou think you\u2019d f**k up Mike Tyson?\u201d Schulz asked the star. \u201cWho is now much older?\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t know if I would use those words, but I would win,\u201d Paul answered after a deep breath. \u201cAre you serious, bro?\u201d one of the co-hosts asked. \u201cSerious as a heart attack,\u201d Paul replied, before claiming that both he and his brother, Logan Paul, suffer from \u201cdelusional optimism\u201d \u2014 something that\u2019s scored them fights with stars like Floyd Mayweather and even a contract with the WWE. (Topic begins at 54:57) \u201cI will start off by saying that I love Mike Tyson,\u201d Jake continued. \u201cI love him, his family. He\u2019s such a great guy. Such a wise guy. He\u2019s taken me under his wing and I owe him a ton of credit for helping me start my career with the Nate Robinson fight on his undercard.\u201d \u201cI think he thinks that he would knock me out, and I think that is maybe the reason why he doesn\u2019t want to do the fight, because I think he wants to avoid knocking me out.\u201d This isn\u2019t the first time Jake has entertained a fight with Iron Mike; the two have bandied about the idea of a boxing match in the past, although nothing has ever come of this idea. However, a Tyson\u2019s recent interview on Jimmy Kimmel might have been enough to get the ball rolling, with Paul claiming that \u201cthis year, we are making it happen.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
