"I think it awesome"- Mike Tyson on how he feels about getting challenged by Jake Paul
Mike Tyson recently discussed how he felt after being challenged by Jake Paul.
Former professional boxer Mike Tyson was seen conversing with host Joe Rogan on a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast about a variety of topics, including boxing and the possibility of his return to the sport.
During their conversation, 'Iron Mike' was also asked if he gets annoyed when a young boxer like Jake Paul challenges him. In response, Tyson said:
"No, it doesn't, I don't think. I think it is awesome... I think it's cool."
Joe Rogan, on the other hand, isn't convinced. He considers it 'insulting' to challenge someone like Tyson, who is regarded as one of the greatest boxers of all time.
However, disagreeing with Rogan, the former professional boxer said that it is wrong to take oneself too seriously.
Adding to his opinion, Mike Tyson said:
"You can't take yourself too seriously. I mean, the world will turn on you if you take yourself too seriously. Who the hell am I to take myself too seriously. Made all this money, got this reputation and now I'm looking at people screw facing them down... I have a great life... how can I be mad at somebody. Think about it? When my ego is not involved, who can I really be and at somebody?"

You gotta change the game. Otherwise, how you gonna become the champ again, if you're the same person? That's why I want that blue eyed devil, Mike."
