Jake Paul has been accused of exaggerating after he told his brother he would undoubtedly defeat Mike Tyson in their rescheduled fight. Paul and Tyson were initially scheduled to fight in Texas next month, but the bout has been postponed by four months due to a medical issue Tyson experienced. Now, the fight is set for November 15 at the AT&T Stadium, at which point Tyson will be 58 years old.
Recently, Paul was hooked up to a lie detector and questioned by his brother Logan, a former boxer who has transitioned to WWE.
Paul's answers
When asked if he truly believes he will beat Mike Tyson, Paul responded affirmatively, but the lie detector indicated deception and he itted his nervousness, acknowledging the challenge ahead.
Paul answered several questions about his career, including if he thought he could beat Logan in a fight (yes, true), if he was using performance-enhancing drugs (no, true), and if Tyson's age would impact the fight's outcome (no, true).
In the meantime, there are rumors that Paul might fight Mike Perry on the originally scheduled July 20 date, but he has not confirmed this.
Tyson had to rest after suffering from an ulcer on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles last month. Although there were concerns the fight might be canceled, the former heavyweight world champion has assured fans he will be ready by November.
"Although we had to postpone the fight, I will resume training shortly. I am thankful to the medical staff that treated me and to MVP, Netflix, and AT&T Stadium for working diligently to find the best reschedule date for all parties," Tyson said.
"While we have a new date, the result will be the same no matter when we fight. Jake Paul is getting knocked out. On Friday, November 15, watch this in-person at AT&T Stadium or live on Netflix."
