Mike Tyson reveal talks with Jake Paul over a boxing match have officially begun

Mike Tyson has revealed talks for a boxing match with Jake Paul have officially started.

‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ broke the news to Hollywood actor Bill Maher during an appearance on his podcast earlier this week.

Paul famously sent Iron Mike a message where he told the 55-year-old to ‘make the fight happen’.

And Tyson has now confirmed that he would ‘absolutely’ love to fight the YouTuber if they can make it happen.

Maher, 66, asked: “Is it Jake Paul who wants to fight you?”

Tyson, 55, revealed: “Yeah, I’m going to call him sometime on Friday, and we’re going to talk.” 

Maher added: “Would you consider actually doing that?”

To which Tyson replied: “Absolutely.”

The 55-year-old ring legend returned to the ring two years ago to face Roy Jones Jr in what was his first bout since retiring against Kevin McBride in June 2005.

“Listen, this guy probably brings like eighty million people to the table.

“Him alone, he could do eighty or ninety million.”

In fact, as far as Tyson is concerned, he will only return to the ring for one reason and one reason only.

He continued: “Hell yeah – only to break the record though, I’m not going to do it if I’m not going to break the record.

“Let’s do it Jakey!
