Mike Tyson mocks Jake Paul for heavyweight body transformation before rival reminds him of famous loss: ‘He is fat’

The buildup to the fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul is gaining momentum, with both fighters making headlines for their preparations and trash talk. Paul, known as ‘The Problem Child,’ is bulking up for his first heavyweight bout against Tyson, scheduled for July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Texas.

While Paul’s trainer suggested he was aiming for a physique comparable to heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, Tyson himself was not impressed with Paul’s current appearance. At a press conference in Arlington, Texas, Tyson bluntly commented on Paul’s physique, calling him “fat and funky” instead of “lean and mean.”

Paul, not one to back down from a challenge, retorted by referencing Buster Douglas, who famously defeated Tyson in a monumental upset in 1996. Paul claimed he would end Tyson’s career even quicker than Douglas did and boasted about being better than the heavyweight legend.

Acknowledging that Tyson kickstarted his boxing career, Paul expressed gratitude but also made it clear that he plans to ruthlessly defeat Tyson in their upcoming match. He vowed to put Tyson to sleep on July 20 and asserted that he would be remembered as the one who ended Tyson’s career for good.

With tensions rising and both fighters exchanging verbal jabs, the anticipation for the Tyson vs. Paul showdown continues to grow. As the fight date approaches, fans eagerly await the outcome of this highly anticipated clash between two iconic figures in the world of boxing.
