I’m here to tell you about the latest antics from the one and only Jake Paul ahead of his highly anticipated boxing match against the legendary Mike Tyson.
Jake Paul Trolls Tyson With Expensive Ear Coverings
Jake Paul consistently finds innovative methods to provoke his opponent. On Wednesday, during the final pre-fight press conference, Paul showed up wearing an ear cover bedazzled with diamonds—a clear jab at Tyson’s infamous ear-biting incident against Evander Holyfield back in 1997.
“I’m not getting my s— bitten off Friday night,” Paul boldly stated. “I got my diamond-spiked ear covers.” The ear coverings, made by Miami-based jewelry designer Vobara, reportedly cost a whopping $100,000. It’s the kind of gimmick we’ve come to expect from the ever-confident Paul, who seems determined to infiltrate Tyson’s mind before their fight.
Tyson Remains Unfazed By Paul’s Antics
However, Tyson didn’t appear to succumb to the pressure. The former heavyweight champion barely spoke during the press conference and didn’t even acknowledge Paul’s flashy ear gear. Instead, Tyson reiterated that he’s already said all he needs to say and that the crowds at their pre-fight events speak for themselves.
“There’s a lot of s–t-talk online saying you’re gonna kill me and nothing in person,” Paul said, frustrated by Tyson’s stoic demeanor. “I don’t know; it’s pretty f–king boring,” Paul said. Whatever these games may be, they aren’t worThe outcome of Friday night will remain unchanged.ight.”
Paul Challenges Other Fighters On The Card
However, Paul’s antics extended beyond just Tyson. When 9 out of the 12 fighters on the undercard predicted that Tyson would win, Paul took it upon himself to challenge each one to bet on the fight with him. “When I see dumb people saying dumb predictions, I just feel bad for them,” Paul said.
The brash YouTuber-turned-boxer didn’t hold back, calling one fighter “bitch-made” for refusing the bet. He even took a shot at Bruce Carrington, another Brooklyn native like Tyson, saying, “The time I spend taking a s–t is how much you make in your whole life, buddy. How much do you want to lose?
The Fight Odds: How To Watch
Regardless of Paul’s trash talk and elaborate trolling, the real action will happen in the ring on Friday night. The fight odds, as of Tuesday, Nov. 13, have Paul as the favorite at -140, with Tyson as the underdog at +240.
Fans who want to witness this historic bout can stream the event live on Netflix, which is hosting its first-ever boxing match. An exciting undercard lineup, including a highly anticipated rematch between undisputed super lightweight champion Katie Taylor and unified featherweight champion Amanda Serrano, will accompany the main card, featuring eight two-minute rounds between Tyson and Paul.
Tyson Promises To Unleash The ‘Devil Himself.
As for Tyson, the former “baddest man on the planet,” he is prepared to reassert his dominance in the ring. In a recent interview, the 58-year-old Tyson vowed to bring the “devil himself” when he steps into the ring against Paul.
“There are no feelings attached,” Tyson said. If my mother joins me in the ring, she should be careful. When it’s over, it’s over. However, as the process progresses, my intention is to cause him harm. I hope he has the same intentions, or he is in trouble.”
Tyson even warned that the ferocity he plans to unleash will be unrecognizable to his own 16-year-old daughter, Milan, who has never seen the legendary fighter at the height of his powers.
Friday night’s fight promises to be a can’t-miss event, with the unpredictable Paul facing off against the resurgent Tyson in a clash of generations. Regardless of the result, Jake Paul is determined to challenge Tyson, even if it means donning a $100,000 pair of ear coverings.
