Jake Paul sent chilling Mike Tyson warning amid cancelled fight rumours
Jake Paul has been told that Mike Tyson can still ‘knock you head into another dimension’.
Though there are rumours that the fight might not even be going ahead after claims were made that it might be cancelled for good.
Paul and Tyson have been scheduled to face off in the ring on November 15 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, with the bout being shown live on Netflix.
It comes after the fight was postponed following a health scare having been originally scheduled to go ahead on July 20 and some have raised questions over whether Tyson, 58, should be allowed to return to the ring.
But UFC commentator and high-profile podcaster Joe Rogan believes Paul, who is 31 years younger than Iron Mike, should be the one who is worried.
“58 is 58 — no matter what you’re taking, and what they’re doing for you, you’re still 58,” Rogan said on his podcast, speaking to Hollywood star Russell Crowe.
“But 58-year-old Mike Tyson is not 50-year-old Mike Jones that lives down the street.
“It’s a different kind of human being, he can still knock your head into another dimension if he can catch you.”
Tyson has been medically cleared to fight ahead of the upcoming clash, which has drawn interest from across the world.
But there are claims that the bout could yet be cancelled once again – with no chance of another postponement.

However, former two-time welterweight world champion Shawn Porter has claimed that the fight will never go ahead with too many risks attached.
“I hate to be the bearer of bad news, we’re not gonna ever see Mike Tyson get in the ring with Jake Paul,” he said.
“I don’t call the shots, I just don’t think Mike’s getting in the ring. I just don’t see it happening.

“It didn’t make sense, to me, even from a business standpoint.
“I feel like Mike and Jake, even to the lowest common denominator, it didn’t make sense.”
However, Tyson has revealed that he is desperate to fight Paul and is raring to go.
