Boxing legend Mike Tyson foreshadows deadly ending to bizarre fight against YouTuber Jake Paul

As Mike Tyson prepares to enter the ring against YouTuber and influencer Jake Paul On November 15, the 58-year-old boxing legend made bizarre comments that foreshadowed a disastrous outcome for the youngest heavyweight boxing champion in history.

Netflix released the trailer for “Countdown: Paul vs. Tyson” a three-part series that will debut on the streaming network on November 7 and will document the fight preparation fans have been dreaming of since it was first announced in March.

However, Tyson was forced to withdraw from the fight in May after suffering an ulcer flare-up resulting from a poor diet.

The fight was originally scheduled for July 20, 2024, which the ulcer made impossible.

Luckily for fight fans (and those who hate Paul), it was postponed. But, the way Tyson talks, the 1984 Golden Gloves heavyweight champion may not be as fit for the fight as he lets on.

“I don’t want to die in a hospital bed,” said Tyson, who references death several times throughout the clip. “I want to die in the ring.”

Let’s hope that was hyperbole, and that Tyson is healthy enough to save boxing from the assaults of Paul, who is 10-1 with 7 exhibition knockouts (against fighters or athletes primarily above the hill, but respected), and which hits hard. .

“He’s a manufactured killer, I’m a natural killer,” Tyson said.

The fight will take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and will stream live on Netflix on November 15 at 8 p.m. ET.
