Jake Paul has made it clear that former boxing heavyweight world champion Mike Tyson isn't on his radar. 'The Problem Child' shut down all rumors of a potential clash between the pair by claiming that he and Tyson were never in talks to fight one another.

Mike Tyson says he has no recollection of agreeing to fight Jake Paul. 😅 https://t.co/dJNw7Nam3H

During a recent appearance on Ariel Helwani's The MMA Hour podcast, Paul said he and 'Iron Mike' are cordial with one another and are more like friends so it's unlikely they'll exchange leather inside the ring. Having said that, if it does come to a point where he has to share the ring with Tyson, Paul says he won't back out.

For the time being, however, Paul and Tyson are surely not planning to fight each other.

"No, it's not real [rumors of a potential clash with Tyson]. I would fight him but there were never any discussions about that. He said it himself, like I saw him in St. Barts at New Year's. It was very cordial, we took a picture together and he is a friend so if we were to fight, who knows, but it'd be weird, like I don't know if I really want that but there's been no discussions," Paul said.
