Jake Paul has responded to some haters who think Mike Tyson is “too old” to fight the YouTuber-turned-boxer. Earlier this week, Babcock said in an interview on TMZ Sports that the legendary boxer is an adult and can make his own decisions. The interview comes after Tyson, who turns 58 later this month, postponed the fight until November due to health issues.
“Tell that to Mike Tyson. Because he won’t give anyone else’s idea,” Paul said. “He’s his own boss. He wants to fight me. He told my team, ‘I’m not going to give a s*** on this. Like, tell Jack I’m still going to rip his head off and put him Beat** out, it buys him more time. Tell Mike Tyson not to fight, calm down and see how it goes.
