“I have to be on my toes. This is a scary man. He’s a killer and he still has all the power, clearly, in all the videos and workouts he shows. My mom is texting me saying she can’t even watch Tyson throw punches. She won’t watch it because it scares her. He has one of the most deadly uppercuts of all time, so of course I have to be prepared and know that he’s going to have his moments and that I’m going to have to persevere.” Jake Paul.
