In response to the report, Tyson tweeted, “This is new to me. I saw Jake in St. Barths and he never mentioned it.”

Well, I guess that was fun while it lasted. I had high hopes for Tyson getting in the ring against Jake Paul.
It was going to be hilarious watching him knock Paul around like a rag doll.
Jake Paul might fight Mike Tyson, and I hope like hell it happens.
Nothing would be funnier than watching Tyson take off Paul’s head. pic.twitter.com/I2CtI3zHzr

It’s really a damn shame because I’m sure people would pay a ton of money to watch the boxing legend and Paul go at it.
People would lose their minds if Tyson put him down. Unfortunately, we’ll now never know.
I guess we’ll just have to hold out hope that it happens down the road because it’s what fans want to see!
