Jake Paul’s Prediction vs Mike Tyson: I Think I TKO or KO Him In Round Four or Five’

Jake Paul (10-1, 7 KOs) wants to knockout Mike Tyson (50-6-2, 44 KOs).

‘The Problem Child’ is currently gearing up to fight ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ at the AT&T Stadium in Texas on November 15. As the fight date approaches, it sure looks like Paul is rather confident in his skillset against the boxing legend, so much so that he has even predicted a knockout victory for himself.

Paul was recently interviewed by Sports Illustrated. The duo was initially scheduled to face each other on July 20; however, the fight had to be postponed after Tyson suffered an ulcer flareup. In conversation, Paul opened up about his preparation for the fight and the gameplan that he’s looking forward to executing.

“It’s been going amazing. Intense camp. I’m sparring 300 lb guys back-to-back. So my body is aching; my bones are sore. They punch a lot harder, and just wrestling with them in the ring and sparring is very difficult, but on November 15, I’m going to be prepared. We’ve trained hard to make the fight easy,” he said.

He further mentioned that he plans to box on the outside and focus on his footwork to remain more agile and, in turn, get Tyson to chase him around.

Meanwhile, he revealed that he was honored to fight a legend like Tyson and made a rather bold prediction about the outcome. “If you love the sport of boxing and you did have the opportunity to fight a legend, it is an honor to step into there with one of the three biggest legends in the history sport,” Paul said. “I think I TKO or KO him in round four or five.”

“Don’t Charge At Me, Mike Tyson!”

Ever since the new fight date was announced, Paul has not wasted any opportunity in taunting the champ. Paul has been facing bigger fighters during his sparring sessions in preparation for the fight. Paul was seen facing a noticeably larger opponent in a recent video shared to his Instagram.

However, the fight did not last long as Paul quickly downed his opponent with a body shot. This was when he broke the fourth wall and warned Tyson. “Don’t charge at me, Mike Tyson!” he said.
