“What if He Knocks You Out?”: Girlfriend Jutta Leerdam Concerned for Jake Paul for “Crazy” Fight Against Mike Tyson

Mike Tyson‘s return to the ring – at 58! – has sent shivers down spines, even for those who are not Jake Paul. Jutta Leerdam, the Dutch speedskater and Jake Paul’s girlfriend couldn’t help but voice the worry that plagues many: “What if he knocks you out?” Her question, laced with love and concern highlighted the enduring fearsome reputation of ‘Iron’ Mike.

Even after years of retirement, Tyson’s legacy as a knockout king precedes him. This upcoming fight against Jake Paul, a much younger opponent, is a clash of generations. Now, his girlfriend Jutta Leerdam has given her thoughts about the marquee contest, and does she fear Paul directly facing Tyson’s infamous power on July 20th?

Jake Paul’s girlfriend might cry if it happens

Love conquers all? Not quite, according to Jutta Leerdam, as per her appearance on BS w/ Jake Paul. “What if he knocks you out? Like is that your last fight?” Leerdam asked his boyfriend. Well, Paul didn’t think it’d happen, but his friends took the opportunity to ask his girlfriend about her feelings about the idea of Paul being KO’d by Tyson in their upcoming match. Adding to it, Jake Paul asked, “Would you cry?”

Leerdam replied, “Yeah definitely but also because I just feel bad and I just hope you’re okay.” However, Jake Paul doesn’t think it’d happen, mainly because he’s been more active than Mike Tyson, since his exhibition bout back in 2020.

So, Paul stated, “No, I’m too sharp and fast. I think just being active, and being the man in the arena for years and years now. Like I don’t even get nervous. The nerves are not even there anymore.”

Still, Leerdam believes that Tyson will be one of the toughest opponents that his boyfriend has ever faced. At the same time, she also believes that it’s quite amazing what Paul has been able to achieve in the sport of boxing in such a short time.

Jutta Leerdam praises the efforts of her boyfriend

Earlier in the podcast, Jutta Leerdam branded Mike Tyson as the most “scary” opponent of Jake Paul’s career yet. She talked about how she’s seen some of his training clips, and it’s quite heart-wrenching how he’s still able to retain his strength even at the age of 57. She stated, “He’s like a little bit older now but if you’ve ever been able to do that, you still like your body remembers that. Like he has that power.”

But at the same time, Leerdam praised her boyfriend as well. She said, “Jake has been doing this for like only a few years so if someone like started a few years ago with speed skating they couldn’t even participate in the world championships, like that’s not even possible. So what Jake is doing is already crazy.” Well, this hits the right spot, as Paul blushed a little hearing this.

Jake Paul instantly thanked her and expressed his love for her. So, their relationship stands strong irrespective of whether Jake Paul wins or loses against Mike Tyson. What are your thoughts about this? Let us know in the comments section.
