Mike Tyson Makes Extremely Weird Confession to Jake Paul at Pre-Fight Presser

Netflix

Mike Tyson made things incredibly awkward at a press conference when he made a bizarre confession to Jake Paul ahead of their July 20 fight.

After previously exchanging trash talk during their respective television appearances, the two fighters were face-to-face for Thursday night’s presser. During one moment, Paul jokingly said that he wanted to kiss Tyson. When Tyson heard that, he decided to take that comment even further.

“He wanted to kiss me?” Tyson asked. “That’s so ironic that he said that because I saw a picture of him dancing at 16 – doing that little dance on YouTube – and, for some reason, I got an erection.”

For Tyson, that kind of pre-fight talk isn’t completely out of the ordinary. During his prime, it wasn’t uncommon for him to make similar aggressively vulgar remarks.

July’s fight will take place July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Though the men are more than 30 years apart in age, the state’s athletic commission has sanctioned it as a professional fight that will count toward their respective records.
