Mike Tyson Thinks It Was Awesome Jake Paul Challenged Him To A Fight

Mike Tyson is a legendary boxer in the world of professional boxing and no one can deny this fact. Tyson is known for his ridiculous power and intimidating stature that has always made his opponents fear him.

Back in 2020, Mike Tyson faced Roy Jones Jr. in an eight-round exhibition match at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on November 28. The fight ended in a split draw, but it certainly entertained fans.

It was previously reported that Mike Tyson was close to a deal to fight Jake Paul. Tyson then stated multiple times that he has no interest in the match. Tyson then decided to change his mind after that.

While speaking on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Joe Rogan asked Mike Tyson if he gets annoyed when someone like Jake Paul challenged him to a fight. Tyson stated that he thinks it is awesome.

“No, it doesn’t, I don’t think. I think it is awesome… I think it’s cool. You can’t take yourself too seriously. I mean, the world will turn on you if you take yourself too seriously. Who the hell am I to take myself too seriously. Made all this money, got this reputation and now I’m looking at people screw facing them down… I have a great life… how can I be mad at somebody. Think about it? When my ego is not involved, who can I really be and at somebody?”

Mike Tyson previously made it clear that he is down to squaring off against Jake Paul for $1 billion. It is unlikely the two will duke it out anytime soon by the looks of it now.
