Professional boxer Jake Paul is set to face former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson in an upcoming match in Arlington, Texas. As he gears up for this challenging bout, Paul has revealed that his mother is feeling anxious about his safety.
Having recently secured his tenth professional boxing victory with a sixth-round knockout against Mike Perry, Paul is now preparing to take on Tyson, known for his formidable knockout power. The match is expected to be broadcast on Netflix later this year.
Paul shared during a press event for the Professional Fighters League that his mother is particularly worried about his well-being post-fight. He mentioned that she keeps questioning his readiness, seeking reassurance from his team, and expressing discomfort with the upcoming match.
Despite his mother’s concerns, Paul admires Tyson’s intimidating presence, especially evident in his intense Instagram videos. He remains focused on enjoying the journey and inspiring others, drawing from his humble beginnings in Ohio and blue-collar family background. Paul encourages people to pursue their dreams with determination.
In his recent fights, Paul has showcased his knockout ability with wins over Ryan Bourland and Andre August, in addition to a decision victory against former UFC star Nate Diaz last year.
