Jake Paul makes 'savage' Mike Tyson comments ahead of boxing showdown

Jake Paul has suggested that Mike Tyson's decision to avoid interviews indicates the boxing legend is fully focused on their upcoming clash.

The two are in the final stages of their training camps, with a bout scheduled for November 15 at the AT&T Arena in Arlington, Texas, potentially in front of 90,000 spectators. The pair were initially set to fight earlier this year, but 'Iron Mike' had to withdraw due to an ulcer flare-up. The 58-year-old was forced to halt his training but has since returned to the gym and is confident he'll be ready to step into the ring in a few weeks.

Tyson hasn't participated in a professional match in nearly 20 years, retiring in 2005 after a loss to Kevin McBride, although he did participate in an exhibition match with Roy Jones Jr in 2020. As for Paul, since his debut in 2020, the 27-year-old has claimed victories over Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva, and Nate Diaz.

With a record of 10-1, his only loss was a points defeat to Tommy Fury last year. The decision to proceed with the match has been criticised by many in the boxing community, particularly given the 31-year age difference between the fighters. There are also concerns about Tyson's health after he recently admitted to having difficulty walking post-sparring.

With the fight just weeks away, Paul is keeping up his social media presence, while Tyson has been notably quieter than usual. 'Iron Mike' has made only occasional press statements and has stayed out of the spotlight, which has raised some eyebrows.

However, his opponent isn't overly
