Jake Paul guarantees he will knock out Mike Tyson in their much-anticipated boxing match this Friday night. In fact, Jake Paul is so sure about it that he says, “It’s already written.”
“When it happens, it’s going to be a little bittersweet because I have love for him, but at the current moment, we’re meant to go to war,” Jake Paul said during a face-to-face interview with Mike Tyson on Monday. “He’s trying to take the food off my plate, I’m trying to take the food off of his plate and that’s what warriors do.
“But for me, I’ve dream this, manifested it, and it will be the start of what has been a 12-year career for me in entertainment and acting and working and all the things I’ve done now into boxing, this is finally my moment and my time to shine and I’m going to show the world who the f— I am.
“Because everyone’s doubted me, everyone’s had something something to say. Nothing was ever given to me. I’ve had to work for it all. Suppressed by everyone. Kicked off of YouTube. Kicked off of platforms. Canceled five times.
“And here I am throwing the biggest event in really all of entertainment actually, and now it shows to the rest of the world what hard work and perseverance can do. And I’m just happy to be able to show that to other kids who maybe have to go through adversity and have to fight and have to keep on proving themselves time and time again.”
Asked to clarify that he truly believes he is going to knock Mike Tyson out on Friday, Jake Paul replied, “It’s already written.”
Further along in the interview, Jake Paul replied when asked what it would mean to his legacy if he knocks Mike Tyson out, “Obviously, it would be the biggest moment in all of boxing history on Friday night when I put this man to sleep, so that is pretty dope.”
“He dreams a lot,” Mike Tyson responded. “This is not going to come true, young man.”
“I respect your opinion, but it’s just my time,” Jake Paul shot back. “The universe knows it, the gods know it, and you’re going to know it.”
Later, Tyson would add, “I’m not going to lose, so I can’t even fathom losing. I can’t even imagine it. He’s not going to win. I think he thinks this is going to be a very easy night. It’s not going to be an easy night for you.”
Naturally, Jake Paul’s quote about his knockout of Mike Tyson already being written drew a lot of comments on social media.
“Yeah cause its all scripted,” one person wrote on X (Twitter).
“Crazy to admit it’s fixed before the fight,” read another comment.
“No way this fight isn’t fixed,” someone else wrote.
Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson takes place this Friday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas and will air on Netflix.
