More provocative, Jake Paul denied being afraid to face Mike Tyson and asked his rival to bring his most 'wild' version to the ring to avoid excuses at the end of the fight.

“I fear no man. I want him to be that old-school Wild Mike. He says he’s going to kill me. I’m ready. I want that killer. I want the toughest fight possible on Friday night, and I want there to be no excuses from anyone at home when I knock him out,” he said.

Additionally, we bring Jake Paul guaranteed that the fight will not go to the judges' decision and will end with one of the two unconscious in the ring.

“No, someone is going to sleep. It’s going to be a war and we’re both strong. It won’t last 16 minutes,” he assured.

Mike Tyson, in turn, was much more economical with his words and did not seem to be too concerned with the provocations of Jake Paul. At 58 years old, the boxing legend assured that he is ready to fight and that everything else will be resolved inside the ring.

“I’m ready to fight. I’ve said everything I had to say. There’s nothing more to say. I’m just looking forward to fighting,” he said.
