- Paul said Iron Mike shouldn’t ‘rush on him’ during their fight
Jake Paul has released a video of himself dropping a sparring partner ahead of his highly anticipated fight against Mike Tyson on November 15 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The clip shows Paul, who moves up from cruiserweight to heavyweight for the first time in his boxing career, as he floors a much larger opponent with a powerful right hand.
As he prepares for this blockbuster fight, the YouTuber-turned-boxer is focused on outsmarting the 58-year-old Tyson, who still possesses devastating knockout power.
However, Paul is convinced he has what it takes to beat Iron Mike and could be heard threatening the former champion after dropping his sparring partner – shouting: ‘Don’t attack me, Tyson.’
The Tyson vs. Paul fight was supposed to take place in July, but just two months after the fight was announced, the two men were forced to postpone the proceedings.

Tyson suffered a medical scare on a plane in May, derailing the showdown in Texas. However, a new date of November 15 was later agreed.
But fans remained concerned about Tyson’s health as he will be 58 when the fight takes place at AT&T Stadium – home of the Dallas Cowboys.
They hoped the Texas Licensing Regulators would keep a close eye on Tyson before the fight takes place next month.
However, according to World Boxing Newsthe Texas Licensing Regulators won’t just review Tyson until the day before the fight.
Therefore, there is a high risk that the fight will be canceled just 24 hours before Iron Mike steps back into the ring.
The outcome of the review could lead to the fight being downgraded from a professional fight to an exhibition or even canceled.
However, Tyson is confident the fight will go ahead as planned and insists he is prepared to take Paul down despite the age difference.

Fans raved about Tyson’s physique and punching power during recent training videos
Tyson earned his reputation as one of the most fearsome punchers the sport of boxing has ever known, racking up 24 first-round knockouts in a professional career that spanned from 1985 until his first retirement in 2005.
After all, Paul wasn’t even born during Tyson’s legendary first world title and was only eight years old when Iron Mike first hung up his gloves after defeating Irish journeyman Kevin McBride in 2005.
