Did anyone else see fear in Mike Tyson's eyes during the faceoff with Jake Paul?

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson are ready to have a swing at each other, as they share an intense stare-down. A man who terrorized the heavyweight division for years vs. a man who is reshaping the combat sports world now. It’s an indication of what is to follow next—a night of fireworks and flying punches—as they put their professional records on the line. If the fans didn’t believe the bout happening before, they are making peace with it now.

After Paul, 27, pulled a disguise theatrics to attend the UFC 306-Noche UFC on Saturday night, he flew straight to Arlington, where Tyson, 58, waited for him. The two then met the Dallas Cowboys owner, Jerry Jones, who allowed them to use their splendid AT&T Stadium to kickstart their promotions for the fight.

Paul, at 10-1, shared the clips of his staredown and faceoff with Tyson, at 50-6, on his social media. The two met in the middle of the stadium and shook hands before the Cowboys started their match with the New Orleans Saints. The YouTuber-turned-boxer compared it with the Super Bowl and wrote in the caption, “BIG AS THE SUPER BOWL.”

However, Paul appeared to be the bigger and taller of the two, as he towered above Tyson. His size and age advantage could swing the fight in his favor, but that is something the fans will witness on November 15. But before that, the fans flooded the comment section, as they debated the possibilities of the bout.

One fan pointed out the financial weight of the fight, with both fighters set to earn heavy paychecks. They declared, “Both will walk away from this “fight” paid more than ever.” Notably, Paul disclosed that he could earn close to $40 million from the fight, which would be his biggest payout.

A user believed Tyson had worrying signs on his face. They claimed, “I’m sorry but Mike looks scared.” Tyson’s age and health concerns have been brought up as the probable reasons he might drop the fight. In addition, there are doubts whether he boasts the same power as his heydays or not.

Someone believed Paul was falling out of favor for them. They announced, “Jake Paul gets uglier by the second.” It could be a reference to Paul’s shenanigans outside the ring or his recent tendency to pick fights with fighters on a declining slope.

A comment called out Paul for fighting opponents with a huge age difference. The comment read, “Jake Paul the king of beating senior citizens.” Paul is coming off a win against Mike Perry, who had a thin boxing resume and was significantly older than him at 33.

Lastly, another fan prayed for Tyson to bag the win but also expressed their concerns about it. They revealed, “Mike better win bro, I’m seriously doubting him…” Tyson recently struggled with an ulcer flareup, which pushed the fight. While he is relying on electric stimulation and stem cells to recover and prepare for the fight, his past health issues have the fans concerned.
