After telling his brother that he would definitely beat Mike Tyson in their rescheduled fight, Jake Paul has come under fire for allegedly lying. The fight between Paul and Tyson was originally set to take place in Texas the following month, but Tyson’s medical problem has forced a four-month delay in the contest.
The bout is now scheduled for November 15 at AT&T Stadium, when Tyson will turn 58. Paul’s brother Logan, a former boxer who joined the WWE, recently put Paul through a lie detector test.
Jake Paul and his lies
Paul gave a positive response when asked if he really thought he could defeat Mike Tyson, but the lie detector revealed that he was lying, and he acknowledged his anxiety and the challenge that lay ahead. Regarding his career, Paul responded to multiple queries. He was asked whether he believed he could defeat Logan in a fight (which he did), if he was taking performance-enhancing drugs (which he was not), and if Tyson’s advanced age would influence the result of the fight (which it would not).
While this is going on, there are speculations that Paul may challenge Mike Perry on July 20, but he hasn’t addressed them. After getting an ulcer on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles last month, Tyson had to take some time off. The former heavyweight world champion has reassured fans that he will be fit for the fight in November, despite initial fears that it would be postponed. Tyson said,
“Although we had to postpone the fight, I will resume training shortly. I am thankful to the medical staff that treated me and to MVP, Netflix, and AT&T Stadium for working diligently to find the best reschedule date for all parties,” “While we have a new date, the result will be the same no matter when we fight. Jake Paul is getting knocked out. On Friday, November 15, watch this in-person at AT&T Stadium or live on Netflix.“
