Jake Paul has attempted to ease the fears of his mother as he prepares to take on one of the scariest boxers of all time.

While many are concerned for Tyson's health, given he is 58 years of age and fighting someone 30 years his junior, there are also some who fear for Paul's wellbeing.
Tyson still has serious power behind his punches, and fighting someone with a mindset like that of 'Iron Mike's' is a terrifying prospect.
That's something Paul's mother, Pam Stepnick, has previously highlighted when she said: "Seeing Mike Tyson in person is terrifying. This is the most frightened I've been going into one of Jake's fights."
Paul makes bold promise
Paul is well aware of his mother's fears, and he has vowed to not only stay safe but knockout one of the greatest boxers to ever step in the ring.
"I am very excited," he said when asked about the fight. Asked about his mother, he added: "And nervous. She doesn't like watching Mike Tyson throw punches because she's a little bit scared.
"Mom, I promise you, I was built for this, destined for this. The God's got me. The universe has got me. Jake Joseph Paul will knock out Mike Tyson, Friday, November 15."
The fight will be broadcast like on Netflix, though ticket prices have been reduced with the event not yet selling out. AT&T Stadium has a capacity of 80,000 for boxing events, and organizers were naturally hoping to sell all of the available tickets.
