When they face off in November, Jake Paul has stated that he will discipline Mike Tyson like a son.

For the first time since the historic fight on Netflix was rescheduled, Jake Paul and the Baddest Man on the Planet, Mike Tyson, faced each other.

Paul vs. Tyson is scheduled for an eight-round professional fight with two-minute rounds. It will take place at the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys, on Friday, November 15, 2024, and will be streamed live globally on Netflix.

Paul and Tyson spoke extensively about the impending fight at a press conference, and their remarks have gone viral on social media.

Compared to his previous persona, Tyson was rather quiet, while Paul incited the New York audience as well as him.

Jake Paul on Mike Tyson

Paul has recently called out UFC Champion Alex Pereira and says a Mike Tyson fight is a step towards winning a boxing title.

Paul said, "I'm here to challenge myself. He's vicious. He's a killer. I know all of these things.

"He has one-punch knockout power. He's the greatest heavyweight of all time. But I will prove all the haters wrong.

"All of these things, and that's why I love Mike. I respect him, but we're not friends anymore until November 15th.

"I'm knocking this motherfucker out and we're going to see who's dead."

Mike Tyson on Jake Paul

Mike Tyson said, "Listen, as soon as I catch this guy, it's over. He is going to be running around the ring, but as soon as I catch this guy, it's going to be totally over.

"I'm very prepared. I had a small adversity. I got sick, but I feel good.

"I'm just ready. I'm going to do my talk and I'm going to talk my shit, but I'm ready to fight."

However, when the two faced each other, things became violent as the hometown hero tried to be funny by moving slightly, and they had to be separated while pushing each other.

The viral statement was when Paul said he will discipline Tyson like a son.

During the press conference, Mike Tyson chose to respond succinctly to Jake Paul's disparaging remarks rather than get too involved.

When he did speak, though, the crowded audience responded with a resounding cheer that seemed to be almost exclusively in support of the boxing icon.

But as Paul and Tyson engaged in a heated exchange over questions from the media, the former heavyweight champion struck first in jest and then more forcefully.
