Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping confidently stated that he would easily defeat YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul. Paul, known as “The Problem Child”, is currently preparing for his upcoming heavyweight clash with former undisputed heavyweight champion of the world Mike Tyson.
Since making his professional boxing debut four years ago, Paul has become known for challenging UFC legends. He can boast of victories in the ring over Anderson Silva, Tyron Woodley, Ben Askren and Nate Diaz. The 27-year-old enters the fight against Tyson following a knockout victory over former UFC welterweight contender Mike Perry.
Legendary UFC fighter Michael Bisping launched a scathing attack on Jake Paul during his fight Program on YouTubeunimpressed by the antics of the “Problem Child”. “You’re a joke,” Bisping exclaimed.
“You are a disgrace to the fighting world. You are a fraud. You’re a wannabe. You are phony. Take up the challenge, you pathetic human, pathetic individual.
“Fighting is about challenging yourself. That’s right, business. Killing him for that. But don’t give me crap about this fighter. This is what gets on my nerves. This man is almost 60 years ancient. He is almost retired. …Mike Tyson was a terrifying person. Facing this man in his prime, Jesus Christ, he was one of the scariest men we have ever seen in any combat sport. This man was a uncomplicated word killer.”
TNT Sports pundit Bisping again criticized the fight in an interview with: Mirror fight. “Jake Paul, listen, I have nothing personal against Jake Paul, but he just likes to attack the UFC, he likes to attack MMA fighters, and at the same time he picks guys who are not boxers,” he said.
“Go and box a boxer, go box a boxer, or go and fight someone your own age. That’s all you have to do and I will show you respect. He’s made a tremendous amount of money as a businessman, and I’m rooting for him for that, because at the end of the day, that’s what we’re all trying to do.”
Despite hanging up his gloves in 2017, “The Problem Child” continues to challenge the British MMA legend. Although Bisping has no intention of coming out of retirement, “The Count” issued a stern warning to the youthful American.
“But don’t tell me this is the worst man in the world, don’t give me this talk about the world champion. I don’t buy it for a second. “I mean, this man dared me not too long ago to send a contract to my manager,” he said. “I have been retired for a long time, I have one eye, I have had two knee surgeries. I would smoke Jake Paul in a heartbeat, but I won’t stoop to that.”

Tyson has not entered the professional ring since his fight with Kevin McBride in 2005, when he folded in defeat. Nevertheless, four years ago he returned for an exhibition fight against another icon, Roy Jones Jr.
Despite his mixed feelings about the upcoming heavyweight fight, Bisping supports the veteran. “I hope Mike Tyson does it, but the whole thing is a joke,” he said.

November 14, 2024YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul has placed his entire $40 million (£31 million) bet on the outcome of his upcoming fight against boxing legend Mike Tyson. The fight, which will take place next Friday in Dallas, will be Tyson’s first professional fight in almost two decades.
Considering he is 31 years younger than the former undisputed heavyweight champion, Paul is the bookmakers’ favorite to win. During the pre-main event bout, Paul accepted bets from several undercard fighters, including Neeraj Goyat, who bet his $1 million house.
Katie Taylor, who is ready for a rematch with Amanda Serrano, went a step further. When Paul asked her how much she wanted to bet, Taylor replied, “Do you want to bet your wallet?” Without hesitation, Paul agreed, saying, “Yes, let’s put the bag down. Deal” and shook Taylor’s hand.
While many doubt whether the bets will hold, Paul insists that contracts will be signed before Friday evening. Earlier this year, Paul bragged about his earnings from his 12th professional fight.
When asked if he brought Tyson in to “legitimize” his boxing career, Paul replied: “I didn’t bring him in for any shit; “I’m here to make $40 million and knock out a legend I don’t want.” don’t worry about anything else, he wanted it to be a professional fight and he really will get knocked out.”
Paul doesn’t hold back before fighting the legendary Tyson, boasting to reporters: “You’ll see in his record: Jake Paul knocks out Mike Tyson; I’m not here to do shit except make a bag. Every time fighters sit across from me and watch ‘YouTuber this, Disney kid that’ and they end up on the canvas… this will be no different. I offered this deal to this ancient bastard he signed with Netflix and we brought him the deal, you’re welcome my son.
Meanwhile, Tyson made the pre-fight farce clear during his latest press conference, giving terse answers and showing perceptible irritation when asked about a possible loss to Paul. “I said everything I had to say,” Tyson declared, quickly trying to deflect further questions.
But not to be silenced, he assured firmly, “I’m not going to lose.” When pressed again, his patience wore slim as he repeated, “Did you hear what I said?” In a edged response, Paul joked: “That’s cute. I’m not afraid of any man, so I want him to be wild ancient Mike.

Tony Bellew sent off as Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson press conference descends into chaos

November 13, 2024Former world champion Tony Bellew was kicked out of Mike Tyson’s press conference with Jake Paul after he went on a tirade against the YouTuber. Bellew is in Texas for Tyson’s heavyweight clash with Paul on Friday and interrupted the press conference to criticize Paul.
However, the stunt backfired when Bellew’s microphone failed and no one could hear the former cruiserweight champion. He was then awkwardly escorted out of the room by security as a confused Paul looked on.
Bellew has consistently criticized Paul, who has built a boxing career since his professional debut in 2020. In his 12th professional fight, he will face 58-year-old Tyson, and his only defeat was last year against Tommy Fury.
Earlier this week, Bellew criticized Paul for the Tyson fight. He said The best books about sports Offsore: “Mike Tyson is a grandfather.
“He is 58 years vintage. He’s approaching 60 and fighting a man who’s not even half his age. Disney Boy is attacking grandparents right now. It’s really scary. We might as well go to the nursing home and start digging out some of them.”
“If Mike shows up and puts his right hand on him, he will fall asleep. So who should he fight? 70 years vintage? If he wins, will he continue to play like this as he gets older? Is he going to come down? Will he face a real boxer?”
Despite a break from Bellew, Tyson remained largely hushed just two days before returning to the ring. The boxing legend last fought four years ago when he and Roy Jones Jr ended in a dull draw after eight rounds.
However, Paul had doubts whether Tyson would keep his promise and knock out the social media sensation. “He says he’s going to kill me, doesn’t he? I want this killer, I want there to be no excuses when I knock him out.”
Asked if Tyson had called him a “fabricated killer”, Paul replied: “Whatever you want to think, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but the deadliest weapon in the world being produced is nuclear weapons.
“Someone is put to sleep, it will be a war. We’re both weighty hitters and it doesn’t go the distance.

Mike Tyson is giving a guarantee to fans considering watching him fight Jake Paul

November 13, 2024Mike Tyson made a basic promise to fans who are considering watching his fight against Jake Paul, stating, “You won’t be disappointed.”
The former “Baddest Man on the Planet” will face the YouTuber-turned-boxer, who has a record of 10-1, in a controversial fight next Friday (November 15) at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The match was originally scheduled for earlier this year, but was postponed after Tyson suffered a flare-up of ulcers during a flight. Despite the delay, fans curious about how the two will fare given their 31-year age difference will finally get answers later this week, with the fight streaming live on Netflix.
While not everyone supports the idea, Tyson assured fans in his final message of the day at the end of open training: “Join us on November 15. You won’t be disappointed.”
Tyson prepared rigorously for the fight and during some open training sessions he showed that he still had considerable strength. However, his choreographed power punch patterns revealed little in terms of the speed and endurance he would likely need to defeat a much younger opponent.
Nevertheless, Tyson insisted he learned: “That I’m tougher than I thought. Because really, when I agreed to this fight and started training, I said, ‘What the hell am I thinking? ‘” “And now I’ve finished the process and the fight is a party. All the difficult work has been done.”
Paul is brimming with confidence ahead of his fight against an opponent who is over thirty years his senior. The 27-year-old boxer expressed his excitement.
He said: “I’m just ecstatic to be here. I’m so grateful for all the fans who show up and Dallas is going to be an amazing night on Friday. I’m just having fun doing my thing. I feel really good. Pointed, sturdy, explosive. It’s going to be a brief night for Mike.
He added: “It’s not how long you do something, it’s how well you do it. On Friday night, people will see me sending a message to someone who has been doing this their whole life.
“On Friday my dream comes true and my career begins. This is the beginning of an amazing journey. It doesn’t matter what I’ve done so far – my career starts on Friday night.”
