Mike Tyson is a scary dude. However, what he said a couple of months ago was downright terrifying. Regardless, his statement seems to have convinced this Oscar-nominated actress that YouTube boxing sensation Jake Paul is in some serious trouble. So, the question is, who exactly is this actress? And what did Tyson say?
Well, while appearing in Jake’s brother, Logan Paul’s podcast, ‘Impaulsive,’ back in August, ‘The Baddest Man on the Plant’ shed light on his alternate personality, which has landed him in serious troubles in the past. “I’m always careful when that guy comes out. Every time I drink or get ready to fight, I break out in handcuffs,” Tyson said.
With the Jake Paul fight coming up on November 15th at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, Tyson lamented that his alternate tough guy version would come out again. “Unfortunately, I have to fight and be that guy. I wish I could stop that guy. That guy haunts me. I wish I could stop that guy. I wish that guy died, but he’s here to stay,” Tyson said.

He claimed that the killer version of him wants to come out every second of his life, noting, “It’s so easy for him to come back.” However, Mike Tyson revealed that he manages to keep a lid on it because of his love for his children and family. Regardless, Boxing Kingdom shared the statement from Tyson on social media, while adding in one of his latest images from his Instagram which shows Tyson, completely ripped and ready for battle, catching actress Rosie Perez’s attention.

Further in the podcast with Logan Paul, the former world champion revealed he doesn’t look at Jake Paul as a YouTuber or internet personality. Rather “I look at him as a killer. That’s how I look at him,” Tyson said. Despite Tyson’s bold statements, many in the community fear the worst could happen when the boxers get in the ring.
Tyson suffered an ulcer flare-up earlier this year, pushing the original date of July to November 15th. However, Tyson has clarified that he is past his ulcer issues and has even claimed that he will look to make quick work of the social media boxer. Despite that, people like Matchroom Boxing honcho Eddie Hearn claimed he would avoid the fight.
