Jake Paul going wild—Is he proving a point or just losing control? What's your take?

Mike Tyson may probably have some answers to why Jake Paul got so fat! After all, ‘The Problem Child’ had a vast assortment of dishes sprawled out in front to pick from. So much so that the visuals seemingly spooked even his girlfriend, Jutta Leerdam. Tyson and Paul are scheduled for a much-anticipated clash on November 15 at the AT&T Stadium.

The duo were earlier scheduled for a clash on July 20. However, ‘Iron’ Mike’s mid-air medical emergency led to widespread concerns. Following growing apprehensions over Tyson’s health, the fight had to be canceled, and a new date appeared. The last few weeks had fans witness Jake Paul in a new avatar. Clips of the Ohioan in a prosthetic pot belly have been gaining considerable attention on social media. It seems the get-up was a response to Tyson’s earlier reference during a presser. But the way ‘The Problem Child’ took it up has the whole boxing world in a frenzy.

Please someone lend a hand!

Help,” shrieked Jutta Leerdam in the comments of the post. And why shouldn’t she? With Usher‘s ‘Yeah’ playing loudly in the background, the video on the post features Jake Paul swinging at one corner of the table. An array of burgers and drinks spread across the table from one to the other.

Paul had a message for Mike Tyson as well: “@miketyson want a bite?” The latest post has already garnered a wide assortment of responses, including a mention of Diddy’s name. Earlier, ‘The Problem Child’s fat suit charade had him seemingly lift 500-pound weights. The spoof even saw elder brother Logan Paul joining several fans and followers during the fun.

It was during the press conference of the upcoming fight that Mike Tyson faced a question: “A number of people will also say Mike Tyson is risking serious injury against a powerful 27-year-old who is in his prime.

Have an interesting take?

The youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history shot back, “I don’t know if he’s in his prime. He’s fat! He should be lean and mean; he’s fat and funky. I saw him with his shirt off; he’s fat.” Addressing Paul, he later asked whether he had kicked off any training. In reply, Paul mentioned James ‘Buster’ Douglas’ name, the boxer, who inflicted Tyson’s first defeat.

Yeah, but you’re no Buster Douglas,” responded Tyson. Paul said that he was better than Douglas, and to prove what he did? He went ahead and ordered, “55 McDoubles, 25 fries, 100 nuggets, and 15 shakes.” Titled “JAKE PAUL LEAKED SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE🚨,” it was a skit video shared through his betting app ‘Betr’s Instagram handle. Nevertheless, from the voice, the order had seemingly stunned the McDonald’s employee.

Concerns over Mike Tyson’s well still persist. However, as it appeared, the former world champion rather appeared cool about the challenge ahead of him. At ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ when the host pointed out how so many ‘middle-aged’ men were backing him to hand over a sound drubbing to Jake Paul, amid a wave of laughter, ‘Iron’ Mike replied that he never thought of himself as middle-aged.

Do you feel Jake Paul has the wherewithal to stop a legend of Mike Tyson’s caliber?

Have something to say?
