Jake Paul is not exactly worried about his public perception if he beats Mike Tyson in July, but is sure he could lose a lot of fans with a win against the legendary champion.

“They’re just going to say he’s old and you disrespected him and all that shit but I just want to make it clear, Mike Tyson was the one who wanted it to be a pro fight,” Paul said on BS with Jake Paul podcast.

“Mike got into training camp and called up people on my team and were like ‘let’s do a pro fight, is Jake down?’, Netflix was like ‘let’s make it a pro fight, we’re down’ and I said to Nakisa [Bidarian], if that’s what Mike wants then that’s fine but make sure you tell Mike that there’s no holding back. Whatever happens, happens and this is war now and if Mike’s okay with that, then I’m okay with that but I want Mike to be the one making this decision.”

Wants to knock out Mike Tyson

According to Paul, there is no way that he would derail his fight career by being beaten by someone twice his age and has long been retired, even though it’s a boxer named Mike Tyson.

“I’m going in there and now it’s a pro fight, it’s on my record, and I’m going to fucking put him down and if people are pissed about it, then watch soccer.”
