Jake Paul Calls Out Conor McGregor With MMA Fight Offer After Taking Down Mike Tyson

by

Jake Paul called out Conor McGregor on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday morning, after defeating the legendary boxer Mike Tyson on Friday night. In doing so, he offered to fight him in MMA with no weight class. “Dear Conor, I know you told my team you would fight me at 170lbs,” he wrote. “That’s never happening. But let’s run it in MMA. No weight class. Just like how it used to be done. But you won’t.”

The post has been causing a stir on social media. In response, one fan joked: “You’re gonna pull out when you realize Conor is under 45 years old.” Another wrote: “Connor McGregor is done with fighting unfortunately. He took the money and he ran. Why don’t you fight an ACTIVE boxer around your age and height/weight? Oh, you did. It was Tommy Fury and he beat you.”

Paul also trolled McGregor shortly after the fight while speaking with reporters for a post-fight news conference. As caught by MMA Junkie, Paul said: “It’s funny to say, ‘Conor McGregor is scared of Jake Paul and will never box him,’ but it’s the f*cking truth. And look at him go toe to toe with Nate Diaz, who was easy work for me. It was like a Monday sparring session to beat Nate Diaz’s ass. He doesn’t ever want this smoke with me. It won’t ever happen.”

Mike Tyson Says He “Almost Died” Ahead Of Shocking Loss To Jake Paul

by

Mike Tyson says he’s grateful for the opportunity to fight Jake Paul, who he labeled a “talented fighter” in a statement on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday afternoon. The statement comes after Paul defeated him by unanimous decision on Friday night at AT&T Stadium in what was a one-sided affair. Tyson, who is 58 years old, held up for all eight rounds against the 27-year-old social media star.

“This is one of those situations when you lost but still won. I’m grateful for last night. No regrets to get in ring one last time,” Tyson began. “I almost died in June. Had 8 blood transfusions. Lost half my blood and 25lbs in hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight so I won. To have my children see me stand toe to toe and finish 8 rounds with a talented fighter half my age in front of a packed Dallas Cowboy stadium is an experience that no man has the right to ask for. Thank you.”

Jake Paul Has Some Strong Words For Gervonta Davis After Boxing Challenge

by

Jake Paul is on a very high horse after beating Mike Tyson in their long-awaited boxing match in Texas on Friday night (November 15). A lot of people within the combat sports world and outside of it continue to react to the showdown, whether in positive or negative ways. Also, this led to plenty of challenges and reflections on both boxers’ actual talents, such as superstar lightweight Gervonta Davis saying that he would “beat the brakes” off of Paul if they ever stepped into the ring together. When a reporter asked the content creator-turned-fighter about this, he let out a small chuckle, and his colleague posited that Davis needs Paul, presumably for attention, money, status, or a real challenge.

“Yeah, I mean, I’d be down,” Jake Paul responded to Gervonta Davis’ boasting. “Let’s run it. Like, I’d be super, super down. Is there a height limit in boxing? […] Yeah, [Conor McGregor] will never do that, though,” he answered when asked if he sees a bout with the skilled combatant happening in the future. “He knows. He knows way, way, way better than that. He’s not his own boss.” “One, he’s under contract. And two, he won’t do it,” Paul’s colleague added.

With all this in mind, we know that Jake Paul must feel like he’s on top of the world after proving many of his haters wrong. A lot of people bet against him in his Mike Tyson fight, including a losing bet from Drake that cost him $355K. They say success is the best revenge, and since it’s a dish best served cold, we don’t doubt that the Ohio native will talk a lot of smack to anyone ahead of his next moves.

Meanwhile, we wonder how Jake Paul and Mike Tyson will talk about their matchup in the coming days, as they already provided some preliminary statements on the matter. Maybe they give each other the props they deserve or their feud continues beyond the boxing ring. One thing’s for sure, though: more and more challengers will want to step up to the plate. The only question is what common ground they will find to make it happen.

Jokes aside, Mike Tyson had made some pretty despondent comments ahead of the Jake Paul fight that also caught many’s attention. “”I don’t believe in the word legacy,” he told young reporter Jazzy’s World TV. “I just think it’s another word for ego. Legacy doesn’t mean nothing. That’s just some word everyone grabbed onto. […] It means absolutely nothing to me. I’m just passing through. I’ma die and it’s gon’ to be over. Who cares about legacy after that? What a big ego. ‘I want people to think I’m this, I’m great.’ No, I’m nothing. We’re just dead. We’re dust, we’re absolutely nothing. Our legacy is nothing.”

Drake Loses $355K After Betting On Mike Tyson To Beat Jake Paul

by

Drake has taken lots of bumps and bruises in 2024. The rapper lost the biggest hip hop battle of the 21st century, despite turning in a strong effort. He lost $300K betting on Canada in the Copa America game, then $500K betting on the winner of the Stanley Cup. Well, the 6 God took another L on Friday, as Jake Paul defeated Mike Tyson in a boxing match. Drake put $355K down on Iron Mike to secure the victory, but it wasn’t even close. Seriously. Paul won the match by unanimous decision.

Drake posted his betting stub in the hours leading up to the Paul vs. Tyson fight. “I’m late but I’m here money on the liiiiiiiiine for today,” he wrote on Instagram. “And tmrw @stake I need some dubs.” Well, he did not secure those dubs. Drake and fellow Young Money alumni Tyga bet big on Mike Tyson to pull an upset, and he did anything but. Fans in the crowd actually started booing during the later rounds, and it was widely inferred by many that Paul was taking it easy on Tyson out of respect. DJ Akademiks posited this on Twitter. He also decided to poke fun at Drake for losing yet another huge sports bet.

Drake Continues His Streak Of Losing Sports Bets

“Drake my mans,” Ak tweeted. “But once I seen him bet on Tyson I knew he lost.” This sentiment was echoed throughout the Twittersphere, actually. Lots of people were betting on Mike Tyson to win, and were horrified to see that the 6 God put money down on their side. The memes were plentiful, and even professional accounts like ESPN Bets got in on the fun. They posted a gif of a panicked Jon Bernthal in The Punisher under the text: “Mike Tyson bettors after seeing Drake bet on him to win.”

Other fans were more bitter in their responses. “Mike Tyson might not have won but at least Drake lost,” one of them tweeted out. Then there was a user who noted, as we did at the top, that Drizzy has really had a brutal calendar year. “Dude can’t catch a break this year,” they pointed out. We could list out the other captions that fans provided, but we think a roundup of the funniest and most notable reactions to the Drake curse would be more effective. Check out our top picks below.

Tonight, November 15, is the much-publicized boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. Ahead of the fight, which will stream on Netflix, Iron Mike was asked by internet-famous teen reporter Jazlyn Guerra, a.k.a. Jazzy’s World TV, for his thoughts on legacy. He took it very seriously.

“Well, I don’t know. I don’t believe in the word ‘legacy,’” Tyson replied. “I just think that’s another word for ego. Legacy doesn’t mean nothing. That’s just some word everybody grabbed onto. Someone said that word, and everyone grabbed on the words, and now it’s used every five seconds. It means absolutely nothing to me. I’m just passing through. I’mma die, and it’s gonna be over. Who cares about legacy after that?”

Tyson somehow wasn’t done. “What a big ego,” he continued. “So I’mma die. I want people to think that I’m this, I’m great. I’m, no. We’re nothing. We’re just dead. We’re dust. We’re absolutely nothing. Our legacy is nothing.”

Guerra responded to Tyson’s stream-of-consciousness existentialism with a polite “thank you so much for sharing that,” but 50 Cent had another takeaway. “G*ddam it! Mike ya scaring the kids, WTF chill,” the rapper wrote on X. “Note to self, keep the kids away from Mike.”

Mike Tyson Wallops Jake Paul During Weigh In For Boxing Match

by

Absolute chaos. That’s the phrase that comes to mind when describing the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul boxing match. These two celebrities could not be further apart in style and in approach, and yet, they are scheduled to get in the ring with each other on November 15. The evening before, Mike Tyson and Jake Paul did the customary weigh in. It all seemed like good fun until the former decided to start the fight a little early, and slap Paul in the face.

The actual weigh in went smoothly enough. Mike Tyson came in at 228.4 pounds, while Jake Paul came in at a slightly lighter 227.2 pounds. The two men then came off the scale and partook in a classic stare down. It’s a situation fans have seen Tyson in dozens of times before. Paul has even grown accustomed to these thanks to his recent career pivot towards boxing. What happened next, though, was anything but normal. Mike Tyson decided to haul off and slap Paul across the side of the head with his right arm. As was previously stated, chaos ensued. People rushed in to separate the two men, and all Tyson had to say was: “talk is over.”

Jake Paul didn’t miss a beat, to his credit. He answered right back with trash talk of his own. “I didn’t even feel it,” he barked back. “He’s angry. He’s an angry little elf. Mike Tyson, that was a cute little slap. I’m f*cking him up. It’s personal now.” Say what you will about the antics of professional boxing, but Mike Tyson and Jake Paul are selling it. Chaos the night before the main event is a great way to remind fans to tune in. In case you needed evidence for this, Netflix clipped and posted the viral slap moment on social media within an hour of it taking place.

Jake Paul proceeded to milk the moment on social media. He hopped on Twitter and decided to take the angle of being starstruck by a fighter of Mike Tyson’s pedigree. “This a pinch me moment,” the Vlogger-turned-fighter wrote. “I got slapped by Mike Tyson.” The internet flooded Paul’s mentions, of course, and the photo of Tyson making contact with Paul’s head went viral in what felt like nanoseconds. These two know how to play the game, and fans will be tuned in to see the fight on Friday.

Mike Tyson Is Shredded In New Photo Ahead Of Jake Paul Fight

by

On Thursday afternoon (Nov. 14), TMZ shared a photo of Mike Tyson in amazing shape as he weighed in for his anticipated fight against Jake Paul on Friday (Nov. 15). The 58-year-old icon is defying age and expectations with a shredded frame to match his well-known punching power. The Baddest Man on the Planet stood alongside his 27-year-old opponent, Jake Paul, emphasizing that age hasn’t dulled his edge or commitment to the sport. While the fighters have already weighed in, the official weigh-in is scheduled for 5 P.M. central at the Toyota Music Factory in Dallas, Texas.

The upcoming fight marks Iron Mike’s return to the ring after four years. Although Tyson last fought in 2020 against Roy Jones Jr., that event was only an exhibition. This time, he’s stepping in for a true professional bout against a much younger opponent. In stark contrast to his usual exhibition matches, Tyson seems particularly invested, hinting to fans that this showdown might be, as he put it, “the biggest in the history of life.”
