Jake Paul and Mike Tyson are just days away from stepping into the ring in one of the most anticipated and least predicted fights, but in recent hours, both protagonists have sent messages to each other that came to light in the first two chapters of the documentary released by Netflix about the preparation for the fight.

Jake Paul and the ‘praise’ to Mike Tyson

In the three-part Netflix documentary, two of which were released on the platform, you can see the stages where Jake Paul sends messages to Mike Tyson and his millions of followers.

“Nobody can tell Mike Tyson what to do and if he wants to fight me, of course I’m going to say yes. This is the opportunity of a lifetime for me to fight one of the two most famous boxers of all time: Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson,” analysed the YouTuber who has almost 21 million subscribers on his channel.

I see Mike Tyson as a killer, so I never expected anything like this”

Jake Paul and his blockbuster fights

Paul faced off against bare-knuckle boxer and former UFC fighter Mike Perry on the scheduled date for his fight with Tyson, as in the first scheduled date in June, the Brooklyn native suffered an ulcer that prevented him from stepping into the ring.

“At the end of the day, the fight with Mike Tyson is great, but I have the goal of becoming world champion and I’m not going to slow it down for anyone,” reported the Mirror in a chat with the YouTuber.

Tyson and Paul are set for two eight-minute rounds, with 14-ounce gloves, and the result will affect both characters’ professional accounts, marking Tyson’s first official bout since his loss to Kevin McBride almost two decades ago, where he retired after five rounds.

Jake Paul has always pointed out that his dream is to be world champion in boxing and mixed martial arts, and even launched a challenge to Canelo Alvarez, something that obviously was not accepted, but against Tyson he hit the jackpot in terms of economics and the prominence he will have for the world of boxing.
