Mike Tyson shares his fearless approach for upcoming Jake Paul fight: "He won't have to wait"
Mike Tyson recently opened up about how he is approaching his upcoming boxing clash against Jake Paul, revealing he's planning on taking the fight right to 'The Problem Child' from the starting bell.
Tyson and Paul are set to meet inside the squared circle on Nov. 15 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The bout will be streamed live exclusively on Netflix, marking the streaming platform's first-ever live combat sports event.
Since the fight was announced, it has faced criticism, with many people calling out the age disparity between the two fighters. When the pair step into the ring, Tyson, who is 58, will be 31 years older then Paul and the bout will mark his first taste of professional action since he retired in 2005.
In comparison, 'The Problem Child' has been fighting consistently over the last few years and most recently put away Mike Perry back in June.
Despite the critics, however, Tyson is as confident as ever he's going to walk away victorious. Speaking on a recent episode of the Pound 4 Pound podcast, 'Iron Mike' oozed fearlessness as he stated that he plans to go "straight through" Jake Paul:
"I'm going straight through him. He won't have to wait, he won't have to find me. What I'm gonna do is go right at him. He ain't gotta worry about finding me."

Dana White lambasts Jake Paul for pursuing Mike Tyson bout
Among the critics of Jake Paul's upcoming clash against Mike Tyson, perhaps nobody is louder than Dana White, who recently called out 'The Problem Child' for locking in the fight.
Paul and White have been in something of a rivalry over recent years, with the former Disney channel star often calling out the UFC CEO for lack of fighter pay and healthcare. White has since opted to take things a step further, however, when he weighed in Paul's future bout against Tyson.
Speaking on the FLAGRANT podcast earlier this year, White took aim at Jake Paul for wanting to fight a 58-year-old, but did add that he hopes to see him get knocked out. He said:
"If I brought up f**king Jake Paul, pretty much everybody in the room and the other room wants to see Jake Paul get knocked out ... When this fight happens, Tyson will be 58 f**king years."
