Jake Paul Plays Dress Up and Mocks Mike Tyson for Past $3 Million Debacle

Time and time again, Jake Paul has proved he is the master when it comes to promoting his fights. However, for the biggest money-making fight of his career against Mike Tyson, the ‘The Problem Child’ is going far and beyond. In his latest attempt to get the word out about his July 20 fight, the YouTuber-turned-boxer mocked Tyson’s bite fight debacle from 1997. 

The former ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’ fought Evander Holyfield in 1997, where a frustrated Tyson bit off a portion of Holyfield’s ear, sparking a huge controversy. The unsportsmanlike action from Mike earned him a $3 million penalty. However, Paul has claimed he would love to offer up his own ear during the fight. So, in his Instagram story today, the Cleveland native mocked Tyson for his past mistake. However, that wasn’t all! He even impersonated Tyson in one of his latest tweets.

It’s worth mentioning that previously, Paul had copied Tyson’s iconic face tattoo to mock the former heavyweight champion. However, this time, he took it to a whole new level. Sharing a clip of himself holding a fake ear in his mouth and the tattoo printed on his face, ‘The Problem Child’ poked fun at Mike Tyson. 

Meanwhile, in another tweet, Paul shared two pictures side by side. In one scene, Mike is by the poolside, clad in white underwear, accompanied by his majestic white tiger. So, Paul decided to copy the look and share the same on X (formerly Twitter). 

However, Jake doesn’t seem to be as brave as Tyson because Paul’s white tiger is clearly a fake. What’s more, even Mike Tyson isn’t backing down, as he recently sent a chilling message to Paul.

Mike Tyson brings forth the inner animal 

Practically, no one expected such a match-up, so when the fight was announced, everyone was left dumbfounded. On one hand, Tyson’s comeback to the ring was celebrated. But on the other, people worried about the 31-year age difference between the fighters. However, that doesn’t seem to be phasing Tyson one bit.

Turning to X, the youngest heavyweight champion shared a training montage of himself, where he showcased his lightning-fast moves. However, what reminded people of Tyson’s old self was his blood-curdling scream at the end. Tyson even issued a serious warning to Paul, asking, “You still wanna f**k with me?” It’s also worth mentioning that an old clip of Mike from two years ago using a cane to walk has made people worried about his ability to fight.
