Jake Paul has compared himself to Tyson Fury ahead of his controversial fight with Mike Tyson.

Paul was due to take on heavyweight legend Tyson last month but the rivals were forced to postpone the bout until November when Tyson suffered an ulcer flare-up. Paul instead took on bare-knuckle fighter and former UFC star Mike Perry, knocking him out in the sixth round.

Before losing weight in order to fight Perry, Paul claimed to have bulked up to 230lb in preparation for facing former undisputed world champion Tyson. That led to the ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’ branding the YouTuber ‘fat’, but Paul has now used Fury as an example of a fighter who is not ‘body beautiful’.

“It’s peak male performance bod, and that is fat,” he said on his podcast. “I mean look at Tyson Fury for example. He is just a big old milk jug and look what he’s done.” Fury, whose brother Tommy handed Paul his only career defeat last year, is preparing for his own fight later this year, his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.

Before Paul’s fight with Tyson was postponed in May, the latter said: “I don’t know if he’s in his prime. He’s fat. He should be lean and mean and he’s fat and funky. I saw him with his shirt off though and he’s fat.”

Paul responded to Tyson’s jibe by saying: “Hey, Buster Douglas was fat. Am I right? I know, but you know Buster Douglas, I’m better. I’m going to end you quicker than he did and you’ll remember that forever. You started me off. I appreciate that. Mike, I love you. I love you like a father loves his son, but I must discipline you. You’re going down, man.”

Tyson has not fought since a bore draw in his exhibition bout with Roy Jones Jr in 2020 while his last professional fight saw him quit on his stool after five rounds against Kevin McBride almost 20 years ago.

At 58, he is 30 years Paul’s senior, but insists he can KO the social media star. “We’ve got a YouTuber fighting the greatest fighter who ever lived. He may have been in the ring with people who have the same intentions, but the actuality, no. As soon as I catch this guy its going to be totally over, he’ going to run.”
