Fans now think Mike Tyson is going to ‘kill’ Jake Paul in upcoming fight because of newly emerged footage
Sports fans across the world are always convinced they know what’s going to happen in a boxing fight.
Despite how clear it is across the years that anything can happen, and you simply can’t predict what’s going to happen, that’s never stopped myself or any other fan speaking with certainty about what is going to happen.
That certainty in foresight is something that boxing fans around the world are now espousing about the new Jake Paul and Mike Tyson fight, except with a bit more vindictive glee than normal.
This is a fancy way of saying: fight fans think Mike Tyson is going to ‘kill’ Jake Paul.

The fight is the ultimate proof of what is more important, skill or youth.
While Jake Paul is 31 years the junior of his opponent and in his boxing prime age-wise, Mike Tyson is... well, he’s Mike Tyson.
Even at 58-years-old, a new clip that has emerged has fans convinced that he is going to spark the former YouTuber out, with some going as far as to morbidly say that Paul won’t get back up.
In a new ‘Face to Face’ posted on Most Valuable Promotions, the YouTube channel of Paul’s boxing promotion company, the two engaged in an at times tense chat about their upcoming fight.
One clip in particular sees Paul saying ‘the gods’ have shown him he is going to be faster and stronger than Tyson, and that he is going to ‘outbox’ him.
Paul also states that it will be the biggest moment in ‘boxing history’ when he ‘puts [Tyson] to sleep’.
Tyson responds by saying ‘this man dreams a lot’ and when asked ‘why Mike Tyson wins the fight’, he says: “Because I’m Mike Tyson”.
This has been compounded with another quote of Tyson’s, which is causing fans to fear for Paul’s well-being.
Tyson appeared in a new Netflix documentary, titled Countdown: Paul vs Tyson, in which he delivered a chilling message to Paul.
Responding to Jake Paul saying it’s ‘his sport now’, Tyson said: “There's a fundamental difference between me and Jake.
“'He is the manufactured killer. Television and papers made him a killer. “He's manufactured. I'm a natural born killer. That's the difference.”
The two clips have caused fans to think they know how the fight will go and, shock, they’re picking the former Lineal Heavyweight champion of the world.
One tweeted: “So… mike tyson is going to straight up kill jake paul, right? like, live murder on Netflix”.
Responding to the clips of Tyson, one fan said: “Unless this is fake, Tyson is winning. Hope he doesn’t play easy with him."
And another responded saying: "He's gonna kill jake paul."
Despite this, Paul is the favourite for the fight.
While he doesn’t have the pedigree of Tyson, his previous wins include former UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva and Bareknuckle Boxing champion and former UFC fighter Mike Perry.
Paul’s only professional loss came in the form of former Love Island star Tommy Fury.
Jake Paul and Mike Tyson will fight this Friday, November 15 on Netflix.
