Cam’ron & Mase Reveal Why They Turned Down Mike Tyson’s Walk-Out Offer For Jake Paul Fight

May 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Cam’ron and Mase have revealed that they turned down an offer to walk out with Mike Tyson for his fight against Jake Paul. On Tuesday’s episode of It Is What It, Cam explained that he was nervous they’d take the blame if Tyson lost the boxing match. The comments come after the boxing legend suffered a medical scare while flying from Miami to Los Angeles on Sunday.

“They offered us the walkout with Mike Tyson,” he said. “This was before this incident and I’m like, ‘I’m not sure if I want to do that.’ Now, I’m probably not going to do it. ‘Cause I don’t want n****s blaming me for nothing when n****s don’t win. Like when Devin [Haney] lost [to Ryan Garcia], n****s said, ‘Why he wearing Balenciaga sneakers?’ […] If we walk Mike out and Mike don’t win, I don’t know if I need that type of pressure.”

Mase discussed the health scare for Tyson further, theorizing it may just be a way for him to find a way out of the match. “I hope Mike is well […] but it sounds like Mike is trying to get a way out,” he said. “I know he shouldn’t need one but if they took him off this plane, we want to make sure he’s well. But are we having a fight or not? Is the fight still on? Before this, I had Mike winning the fight. Now, I don’t know.” Check out Cam and Mase’s full comments on the upcoming fight below.

Jake Paul Sends Out Cryptic Message After Mike Tyson’s Medical Emergency Puts Fight In Doubt

May 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jake Paul’s cryptic response to the news of Mike Tyson’s recent medical issue just weeks before their highly anticipated Netflix match has left fans and rivals alike speculating. Tyson’s ulcer flare-up, which caused him to feel queasy and lightheaded during a flight from Miami to Los Angeles, required immediate medical attention. Despite this, Tyson’s condition has been reported as “doing great.” His scheduled bout with Paul on July 20 in Texas remains unaffected. Paul’s reaction, seemingly in response to his rivals and fans using old pictures of Tyson to undermine his upcoming fight with the legend, has added a layer of mystery to the situation.

In the wake of the legend’s recent medical emergency, Jake Paul has taken aim at his competitors KSI and Dillon Danis for their use of old photos of Mike Tyson in a wheelchair. Despite the images being two years old, KSI and Danis, who both have a contentious relationship with Paul, chose to share them. Tyson, a former heavyweight world champion, has attributed his condition to a sciatica flare-up.

Tyson spoke to Newsmax about his condition. He said, “I have sciatica every now and then, and it flares up. When it flares up, I can’t even talk! Thank God it’s the only health problem I have. I’m splendid now. Everybody in my house is truly blessed, and we’re all very grateful for whatever we have.” Jake Pual seems to be responding to the scare, throwing doubt on the fight and the fears that Tyson is too old to be competing. Despite his history and status, Tyson is almost 60 years old. Jake Paul is 30 years younger than Tyson. Hopefully, the fight doesn’t result in any life-threatening situations.

He and Tyson are scheduled to square off over eight two-minute rounds in what is expected to be a professional bout that will be noted on both fighters’ records. In his most recent professional bout many years ago, Tyson lost to Kevin McBride on his stool after five rounds. Paul, on the other hand, has defeated just one opponent, Tommy Fury, last year, having won nine of his ten battles. He has defeated journeymen boxers, seasoned MMA fighters, and sportsmen from many sports. All in all, we hope Mike Tyson is healthy, and the fight goes through with no complications.

Jake Paul Confirms Mike Tyson Fight is still on After Iron Mike’s Recent Medical emergency Stating ‘Nothing changed’

May 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson Boxing Match Press Conference

I guess Mike Tyson’s seemingly recent fall ill on a flight isn’t enough to dampen his fight with Jake Paul. The YouTuber-turned-boxer recently reassured fans that his upcoming fight with Mike Tyson is still on, despite Tyson’s recent health scare. The 27-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer took to social media on Monday to address rumors of a cancellation following Tyson’s medical emergency over the weekend.

Here’s what Paul posted “You love to make s–t up before knowing the facts for clicks / likes. Nothing changed #PaulTyson,” Paul wrote on X.

Get this: Tyson, 57, experienced nausea and dizziness due to an ulcer flare-up while on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles. His representative told Page Six that Tyson “became nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare-up 30 minutes before landing.” They added that Tyson is “appreciative to the medical staff that were there to help him” and clarified that he is “doing great.”

The sanctioned match between Tyson and Paul is set to broadcast live on Netflix, which is the biggest streamer in the world, from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on July 20. Tyson expressed enthusiasm for the fight, calling it a “no-brainer” at a press conference earlier this month. “He’s the new up-and-coming guy on the scene. I like shaking the sports world to its core, and I’m doing that now. It’s just something I want to do,” Tyson explained.

Paul also stated the significance of their fight, stating, “This is quite literally the biggest fight of the 21st century.” He emphasized the match’s global reach, adding, “Because of the fact that it’s Mike Tyson versus me, but also the fact that it’s in 700 million households.”

Iron Mike, who became the youngest heavyweight champion in 1986 by defeating Trevor Berbick, has an impressive 50-6-2 record with 44 knockouts. In contrast, Paul holds a 9-1 record with six knockouts. Despite his relative inexperience, Paul remains confident. “I’m a natural-born heavyweight,” he declared. “I’m gonna show Mike who has more power. I think he’s underestimating me, I think everyone else is underestimating me.”

Mike Tyson Suffers Apparent Medical Emergency On Plane Ahead Of Jake Paul Fight

May 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Witnesses claim that on Sunday, May 26, Mike Tyson experienced what seemed to be a medical emergency while traveling from Miami to Los Angeles. “Mike had some kind of medical emergency on the plane and paramedics boarded,” says the eyewitness. They said, “Before the paramedics arrived the flight issued an announcement asking for a doctor — the message even came on everyone’s screens.“ The heat in Miami caused the jet to become overheated, causing a two-hour delay before takeoff. According to the eyewitness, Mike, was traveling on American Airlines flight 1815, sporting a matching short-sleeved cabana outfit with a blue and white design.

Before being brought to the gate at the scheduled boarding time of 5:10 p.m., Mike was at the Admirals Club, but because of the delay, he was escorted away. At 6:30 p.m., the eyewitness reports that he finally boarded the aircraft. Tyson had a very scary medical scare during the flight, which his witnesses recalled. The passengers had to wait to disembark while the paramedics attended to Mike. Thus, the plane’s arrival at LAX was delayed by an additional 25 minutes.

The eyewitness continued, “He was in first class, but we were an exit row.” Additionally, they said, “They asked us to stay on the plane and landed so paramedics could enter. [The stewardess] said something like, ‘He’s a really important passenger so we wanna make sure he’s OK.’ I knew it was him, but I just mouthed the words ‘Mike Tyson’ and she nodded her head yes.” Mike Tyson’s representation said in a statement to In Touch, “Thankfully Mr. Tyson is doing great. He became nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare up 30 minutes before landing. He is appreciative to the medical staff that were there to help him.”

It is just a few months away from Mike’s much-awaited matchup with Jake Paul, which is set to take place on Saturday, July 20, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Despite the fact that Jake, 27, is younger than Mike, 30, the YouTuber had already declared he had no intention of taking it easy on the legendary boxer during the fight. All in all, we hope Mike is ok after the incident. Overall, its not a good sign for Tyson to be having medical scares before his anticipated fight.

Jake Paul Says He Is Not Going To Hold Back Against Mike Tyson: “The Legend Must Fall”

May 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Even though Mike Tyson is thirty years Jake Paul’s senior, he will not back down from a challenge if it arises on July 20. He told TMZ Sports that he would not be taking the boxing icon lightly in their next match. Folks are divided on who will prevail in the Paul vs. Tyson fight. While Paul is far less experienced than Tyson, he is still at his peak age. Tyson is undoubtedly one of the greatest to have ever competed, but he is decades removed from his supremacy. Paul was asked whether there was any aspect of him that would be reluctant because his opponent is almost considered a senior citizen. He replied, “Absolutely not.” Paul explained that if Tyson gets an opportunity to knock him out, he’ll do the exact same.

He said Mike would do the same “in embarrassing fashion.” Paul went on to say, “So, I have to reciprocate that same energy.” He continued, “But Mike Tyson is a killer. He’s ruthless. He’s the most vicious champion ever. So, I have to channel that Mike Tyson energy to finish him. And the legend must fall.” Paul stated that he believes Netflix may draw hundreds of millions of people and that AT&T Stadium would be packed due to the fight’s hype.

Jake Paul Will Not Hesitate To Knock Out Mike Tyson

Despite the age gap between them, Jake Paul said that he will “absolutely” not hesitate to take a straight shot at Tyson since Iron Mike will do the same. One of the key draws for this fight is the intrigue of seeing Tyson in a boxing ring once more. Three weeks before to the bout, on June 30, he will turn 58 years old. On November 28, 2020, Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. squared off in an exhibition match that resulted in a split draw. Tyson’s fight against Paul will be his first professional encounter since he was defeated by Kevin McBride in June 2005.

In February 2003, Tyson defeated Clifford Etienne in the opening frame of a professional or exhibition bout, marking his last victory in that regard. Paul, a 27-year-old, is 9-1 in his ten professional fights. Most of his battles have been against opponents from other sports or against competitors who were long past their peak. Overall, Mike Tyson Vs. Jake Paul will hopefully be an entertaining bout. Let’s hope no one gets seriously damaged.

Lil Wayne Explains His Mike Tyson & Jake Paul Fight Prediction

May 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

When folks ask for others’ predictions on the upcoming fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, the answer might seem obvious in both directions. One is a boxing legend with decades of experience and acclaim, but the other is not even half as old as the icon is. Still, a lot of folks are banking on the more renowned boxer to take the crown at the end of the day, including one of hip-hop’s most passionate sports commentators. Moreover, Lil Wayne recently graced Undisputed with yet another guest appearance, during which he had a very interesting take on the whole situation.

“If it’s a real fight, I have Mike Tyson, and I believe it’s a disrespectful question,” Lil Wayne remarked of the upcoming Mike Tyson and Jake Paul eight-round bout on July 20. “I don’t care if he was 85. You saw the clips. If one of them workout punches hit anybody, you done.” Maybe it’s not as “disrespectful” of a question as he thinks, considering that fellow rapper Cam’ron actaully thinks there’s a chance that the former Vine star could pull an upset off.

Lil Wayne’s Take On Mike Tyson Versus Jake Paul

A post shared by THE HIP-HOP WOLF® (@thehiphopwolf)

“Mike is my man [but] this is my prediction for the fight,” Cam’ron remarked on his It Is What It Is sports talk show with Mase earlier in 2024. “If Mike don’t get him out of there in five rounds, then I believe that Jake Paul’s gonna win the fight.” “Killa, I hope you don’t see Mike. Mike gonna want to talk to you about that,” his co-host joked after his take. In fact, as it turns out, the Dipset MC actually ran into Tyson at an airport after he gave this take, and the “Mo Money Mo Problems” feature narrated the occasion comically.

“Cam is on his way here, he’s probably not gonna make this show,” Mase revealed. “He was calling me while he was getting on this flight and he had some sad news. Mike Tyson, the guy he was running his mouth about, was standing right behind him when I saw him on FaceTime. I think Mike was whispering too him, ‘Cam, I need to talk to you.’ And then Cam say he gonna call me back but he never called me back.”

In June 2020, Tyson engaged in an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. Roy and Mike’s battle went unscored.

Jake Paul Mike Tyson Will Now Be A Sanctioned Professional Fight

April 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations, a reputable authority in the world of sports, has officially declared the July 20 clash between former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson and YouTuber-turned-prizefighter Jake Paul to be a sanctioned professional fight. This endorsement not only adds a layer of credibility to the event but also underscores its professional nature. Each fighter will don 14-ounce gloves for the eight two-minute rounds of the heavyweight showdown. Additionally, the outcome will significantly impact their professional boxing records. For boxing fans, this development is a welcome one. It brings much-needed legitimacy to the spectacle that has been Jake Paul’s fights.

Boxing fans and general sports fans have probably called in to question how legitimate these YouTuber fights are. Jake Paul has taken down professional fighters in questionable bouts. His Brother Logan Paul famously fought boxing legend Floyd Mayweather in a very weird fight. The fight included Floyd seeming to keep Logan Paul from going down after receiving a Floyd punch. Now, the upcoming Tyson Paul face-off is a legitimate fight held to professional standards. Fans are now hoping to see an unshackled Mike Tyson unleash on Jake Pual. Will Paul have what it takes to stand up to the former champ?

Most Valuable Promotions co-founder Nakisa Bidarian said in a statement, “Mike Tyson and Jake Paul signed on to fight each other with the desire to do so in a sanctioned professional fight that would have a definitive outcome.” He continued, “Over the past six weeks, MVP has worked with its partners to satisfy the requirements of the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations (TDLR) to sanction Paul vs. Tyson, and we are grateful that we have gotten to this point.”

Ever since the event’s announcement, there have been a lot of worries about what the rules and regulations will be because the two combatants are over thirty years apart in age. The battle will take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and will be broadcast on Netflix. Tyson’s last win was a knockout against Clifford Etienne in February 2003. Tyson will be 58 by the time of the fight three decades older than his opponent Jake Paul. The fight will definitely be a must-see event.

Rick Ross Dares To Clown Mike Tyson Over Old Picture

April 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rick Ross was among the most recent guests on the Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson podcast, and he took a risk in trying to make a joke about the host’s past appearance. Moreover, when he saw a photo of a young 20-year-old Tyson, he couldn’t help but make a joke about his hairline. “It’s a beautiful picture…How old were you?” The Biggest Boss asked the boxing legend. “That n***a that cut your hair ain’t give you no blend.” This resulted in laughs from the people around them, and Mike cracked a smile and said, “I hear you.” However, Ross cleared the air and said that he loves it, so it’s either some backtracking or some tough love that acknowledges some missteps.

Furthermore, this was a particularly special episode of Hotboxin‘ because it was what many fans probably hoped it wouldn’t be: its last. Furthermore, it seems like Mike Tyson’s convo with Rick Ross puts things at least at a pause as he prepares for his upcoming fight with Jake Paul. A lot of folks are very excited to see how this match-up pans out, whether or not they think that Tyson will be able to beat the YouTube provocateur. We’ll all have to wait until July 20 to find out.

Mike Tyson & Rick Ross Chop It Up On Hotboxin‘: Watch

The haircut joke appears at around the 44:15-minute mark of the video above.

Elsewhere, Rick Ross is very much occupied with a showdown of his own, although this is more about trading bars than blows. He and Drake had a big falling out as a result of all the drama and disses that have emerged from Future and Metro Boomin’s WE [STILL] DON’T TRUST YOU albums. While things probably won’t reemerge on wax for a while, they are two social media trolls who will likely continue to send potshots at each other. Things are a bit more quiet right now, but we’re sure that they won’t stay this way forever.

Meanwhile, Tyson is training hard for his Jake Paul fight, which will be a big moment for pop culture at large. Maybe if Paul launches a jab at his old haircut this time around, he won’t be as forgiving as he was to Rozay. Who do you have coming out on top in either head-to-head? Let us know in the comments and stay posted on HNHH for more on Mike Tyson and Rick Ross.
