“He’s Not Worthy”: Jake Paul Torched for “Embarrassing” Film Study as Mike Tyson Fight Branded a “Scam” by Boxing World

Jake Paul is looking forward to the momentous clash with Mike Tyson next month. However, not many fans appear on board with the fight. Take, for instance, the way some reacted when they came across ‘The Problem Child’s latest clip. Paul and Tyson face off at the AT&T Stadium on November 15.

The duo might have fought earlier. But the July 20 bout took a header. Following the former heavyweight champion’s mid-flight ulcer flare-up, organizers postponed the match to the current date. However, the medical scare only flared the concerns that surfaced since the fight announcement. A match between a 58-year-old retired boxer and a 27-year-old crossover fighter left many puzzled.

This is no joke anymore.

Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) shared the footage. Their message read, “To learn, you must study. Jake Paul and the team doing film study to perfect his craft.” Loud music blared in the background. ‘The Problem Child’ could be seen walking on a treadmill. His associates and friends surround him. However, including Paul’s, their eyes are fixed on the screen.

The sparring clip appears just briefly enough for viewers, providing some answers for the viewers who might have been scratching their heads with the poser, “What are Jake Paul & the team watching?”

The hype around the fight seems to be picking up. especially the last few days, fans saw a new avatar of Jake Paul—a prosthetic bellied entertainer, goofing around the gym and house. Then Mike Tyson also shared his thoughts on the upcoming fight on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

But that’s the case, Jake Paul!

From the comments, perhaps barring a few, most didn’t appear too enthusiastic about the clip intended to boost motivation. Let’s check what a few of them had to say.

This fan thought that the moment needed a taunt. That’s why, labeling the latest video a ‘fake’, they took up Jake Paul’s potbellied persona. They said, “This is fake. He has a beer belly now. This is edited.”

The next fan shared a rather nuanced review of the whole situation. They had some thought-provoking points that seemingly questioned Paul’s quest for boxing glory. Questioning the whole idea of’ ‘study’ they felt Paul should have proceeded with a light heavyweight context instead of a heavyweight bout. That too, he is fighting a former champion, 30 years his senior. “If they studied right. They would be having Jake fight at light heavyweight. Also, they wouldn’t let Jake fight a 58-year-old Mike Tyson if he’s trying to be a world champion.”

Given the sparring video had a rather cameo appearance, this user teased whether Jake Paul and team were taking down notes from the latest sparring video that has gained considerable traction, though lacking in favorable comments. This is what the user said, “Hopefully not the sparring video I saw absolutely embarrassing 😂😂😂😂🤦🏻‍♂️”

Then this fan went back in time. Going back to the days when Jake Paul used to post Vine videos, they roasted that perhaps the ‘study’ took place to prepare for a fresh reel. “Studying what? How to make a Vine? 😂”

Like many, the Mike Tyson-Jake Paul fight is nothing short of a charade. They said, “The fight is already [choregraphed]. Give it a rest, Paul; we know it’s a scam!”

Jake Paul might be putting in long hours. but many fans clearly do not appear on the same page.

Considering the kind of criticism the Tyson fight has received, it would be interesting to see who ‘The Problem Child’ takes on in the next match. Because if his interest lies in building a lasting boxing legacy, then it’s high time he considers fighting bona fide professional boxers, matching in skills and age.

Who would you suggest as an ideal opponent for Jake Paul after Mike Tyson?
