Jake Paul bets $5 million that Mike Tyson can’t last four rounds with him

We’re approaching just 30 days until Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson goes down, and we’re starting to think this fight may actually happen this time.

Paul vs. Tyson was originally scheduled for July 20th, but an alleged ulcer took “Iron Mike” out. This time the boxing heavyweight legend seems to be dealing with his strenuous training schedule better, and we may actually end up seeing how the 58 year old does against the 27 year old sandbagger.

Casuals still have high hopes that Tyson will knock this Disney kid turned boxer out. MMA fans have spent the last three years watching that Disney king beat over-the-hill UFC champs, and are feeling less confident about Mike’s chances. What’s the point of watching Paul punk an old man like Tyson for 8 rounds?

Now Jake Paul is turning up the pressure on himself a little. In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), “The Problem Child” said he’d pay Mike Tyson millions if their fight goes past four rounds. If not, though…

“Mikey Mikey, if you can last more than four rounds with me, I’ll give you an extra $5 million,” Paul declared in the video post. “But if you don’t, then you have to get a tattoo that says, ‘I Love Jake Paul.’”

This isn’t the first time Jake has made bets with his opponents that have resulted in ‘I love Jake Paul’ tattoos. Coming into his first fight with Tyron Woodley, no money was offered … just a straight trade: loser gets winner’s name tattooed. Woodley lost and wasn’t looking like he was going to follow through … until Paul made it a stipulation of a rematch.

Tyron got the tattoo, got knocked out in the rematch … and got paid enough to retire from combat sports? Well, maybe not the last thing. Now Mike Tyson has a chance to make an extra $5 mil, which is expected to be just a cherry on top of a high eight-figure payday.

Can he win that bet? It’s hard to know what to expect considering we don’t see many near-60-year-olds competing against 27-year-olds for some reason. Tune in to Netflix on Friday November 15th to find out.
