‘Did you hear what I said?’ – Mike Tyson lashes out at reporter in Jake Paul press conference… leaving fans petrified

1 month ago 5

MIKE TYSON terrifyingly lashed out at a question in his press conference with Jake Paul.

The heavyweight great makes his return after TWO DECADES out the ring to face YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul on Friday in Texas.

Tyson, 58, is the betting underdog but even with the oddsmakers against him the American icon puts his reputation on the line.

And he refused to entertain the the tiniest notion of losing to The Problem Child Paul.

He said: “I’m not going to lose.”

Probed on an unthinkable defeat further, Tyson snapped back: “I am not going to lose. Did you hear what I said?”

The frosty exchange left fans at home petrified, as one said: “Mike not playing!”

Another added: “Seeing the old Mike come out… this is what we all want to see Friday night. The beast tearing it up.”

Tyson returns for the first time as a professional since 2005 when he quit on his stool and threw the towel in on his career.

He did have a 2020 exhibition bout with fellow great Roy Jones Jr – but this time he is back for real.

Tyson, 58, takes on Paul, 27, over eight two-minute rounds – opposed to the usual three – with bigger 14oz gloves on instead of 10oz.

The reformed Baddest Man on The Planet said little on stage just two days before fight night.

And Paul hit out: “He says he’s going to kill me. Is that what you’re going to do, Mike? Because I’m ready, I want that killer.

“I want the hardest match possible Friday night and I don’t want there to be any excuses from everyone at home when I knock him out.”

Tyson, barely moving a muscle, responded: “I’m just ready. That’s all I can say. I’m just ready.”
