The fight of the year, according to many fans of combat sports, is almost near, as Mike Tyson looks to take on Jake Paul on November 15th. Despite the large age difference, Mike Tyson is still the favorite going into the matchup. Moreover, his self-confidence is also sky-high, as seen by his recent outburst during one press conference following a question from one female reporter.
Although not very talkative, Mike Tyson still left a significant impression during his questioning by the reporters. One question stood out in particular. Specifically, it implied that there was a possibility of Mike losing the boxing match against Jake Paul, which definitely agitated the former boxing champion.
“What will you lose if you lose this fight?” asks the reporter.
“I’m not going to lose,” replied Mike Tyson.
Although Mike Tyson’s stand on the matter was clear, the reporter continued pursuing the topic, trying to get a more detailed response from the boxer. However, that backfired, as Tyson’s next response was even more assertive, seeing him reply in a more aggressive tone.
“But, you said that in the last,” tried to ask the reporter before being cut off by Mike.
