Jake Paul taunting Mike Tyson with a McDonald's video—Is this genius marketing or just childish antics?

Jake Paul is not ready to back down as he continues his troll of Mike Tyson ahead of their match on November 15 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. As the fight date inches closer, the antics are just increasing. Tyson has been calling The Problem Child, ‘fat’ since May. Last month, things escalated when Tyson continued his mind games as he playfully punched the YouTuber-turned-boxer in his belly during their press conference in New York, while also calling him “fat and funky”.

But Jake Paul is not one to back down. He seems to be playing right into the fat person trope. How? Jake Paul, just a few days ago, posted a video on social media where he was stuffing himself with KFC while wearing a fat suit and crying “I am not fat” to himself. Since then, Paul has been constantly posting stuff while wearing his fake belly to troll Mike Tyson. Yesterday, the 27-year-old posted a security camera footage of himself, taking the trolling to a whole new level.

Betr, Jake Paul’s sport-betting app, posted on Instagram a CCTV footage of Paul in the fat suit at a McDonald’s drive-thru. Hilariously, the 10-1 boxer, who was alone, asked for, “55 Mc doubles, 25 fries, 100 nuggets and 15 shakes.” Even the McDonald’s employee, taking the order was surprised and asked for the order to be repeated again. Paul went ahead and hilariously increased the fries to 40. He even managed to insert a fan conversation in the video where he was jokingly asking the fan to “pay for my McDonalds,” as he captioned the video, “JAKE PAUL LEAKED SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE🚨.”

The Problem Child shared the video on his Instagram profile on Thursday, showing his anger towards the supposed leaked video. Paul wrote, “Why can’t people let me live my fat happy life,” as he trolled the former heavyweight champion once again.

It is safe to say that Jake Paul has taken every mind game thrown by Mike Tyson sportingly and has replied with as much tenacity as he can muster. No one is backing down and both fighters are in great shape and are not leaving anything to chance when it comes to gaining that mental advantage over the other person.

Have an interesting take?

Mike Tyson ‘high’ training regime

With less than a month left to the fight, both fighters are not leaving any stone unturned. In a recent interview with Jimmy Kimmel, the former heavyweight champion revealed that he is training extremely hard for the fight. He spends his 6 hours daily in the gym, followed by strength and conditioning exercises.

Apart from the physical training, Mike Tyson is not slowing down his mind games either, as he told Kimmel that he might enter the match high on life instead of we*d, which he is not consuming currently. Tyson indicated that he is not worried about The Problem Child. But as he has said multiple times before, he is taking this fight seriously and wants to knock Jake Paul out.

The fight will feature 8 rounds instead of 12 with every round being 2 minutes long and the boxers will use 14-ounce gloves for safety. But none of them are taking it safe and are treating it as a war.
