Mike Tyson has sent a chilling warning to Jake Paul ahead of their November fight, after the YouTube star defeated Mike Perry with a sixth-round knockout on Saturday.
Tyson and Paul were initially supposed to fight this week, but the boxing match was postponed until November after ‘Iron Mike’ suffered a medical scare in May.
The 57-year-old is committed to fighting Paul, though, and reminded his much younger opponent of how soon their fight was coming up in a menacing post to X.
‘118 days -16 weeks and 6 days- 17 weekends – 2,832 hours – 169,920 minutes – 10,195,200 seconds,’ he wrote on X.
Tyson also posted a video of himself silently watching Paul on TV, before the latter went on to defeat former UFC star Perry.
The 32-year-old Bare Knuckle Fighting champion was no pushover, and even tested the YouTube sensation’s chin at times in a grueling contest.
However, after dropping him in the first and second round, Paul floored Perry to the point of no return with a blistering combination in the sixth.
Paul was quick to pay tribute to his brave opponent on the night.
‘He’s tough as nails,’ he said about Perry. ‘I’m sorry it took so long. I just hit too hard, but he took a lot of damage. That’s a W baby, I’m so excited.’
Paul also told Tyson to ‘sign the contract’ ahead of their proposed November fight, but also called out UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Alex Pereira.
‘Alex Pereira, you said you wanna box… I’m the king of this, come over and we can make it happen,’ he said.
Paul and Tyson’s fight is currently scheduled for November 15 at AT&T Stadium in Texas.
The ‘Problem Child’ has mostly fought ex-UFC fighters in his boxing career, with Perry the fifth ex-UFC fighter he has defeated.
