Mike Tyson's response to Jake Paul $5m bet with a painful twist speaks volumes
Jake Paul, the YouTuber-turned-boxer, has disclosed that boxing legend Mike Tyson has yet to respond to his $5million (£3.85m) offer ahead of their anticipated showdown next month.

When asked about the bet and whether Tyson had responded to the offer in a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Paul said: "I think I TKO or KO him in rounds four or five. But yeah, he hasn't responded to the bet and I don't think he probably will. I think he's locked-in in war mode."

Although Paul finds time to jest at his heavyweight adversary's expense, Tyson
