Things got heated at the recent press conference for the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight.

The former heavyweight champion took to the mic to bash Paul and all the notable MMA fighters he faced so far.

“He can’t even knock out Diaz,” Tyson said. “Diaz is 40 pounds. How are you going to knock me out? Who’s the other guy? Anderson Silva. He didn’t knock out those little guys. How’s he going to knock me out? … Who did he knock out? Who did he knock out? Little children. He never knocked out a real man. Come on.”

Even though Tyson’s power and technique are still formidable, Paul’s youth and unconventional approach could pose challenges for the 57-year-old.

Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul is huge

While some boxing fans and fighters might view the boxing bout with skepticism, seeing it as more of a spectacle than a serious sporting event, it’s undeniable that the fight card captured global attention.

That’s certainly clear when Tyson vs. Paul broke the largest live combat sports gate in Texas history less than 24 hours after tickets went on sale to the public. The news was presented by press conference host Brian Custer.

Regardless of the result, the fight would undoubtedly be a landmark event, blending the worlds of traditional boxing and mainstream streaming service Netflix.
