Stipe Miocic makes his pick for Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight with a four-word reaction
Stipe Miocic revealed his simple prediction for the upcoming boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson.
On Nov. 15, Paul will compete in his most controversial professional boxing match to date. The 27-year-old is scheduled to take on 58-year-old heavyweight legend Mike Tyson inside the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
There aren't many fighters and analysts picking 'Iron' to defeat Paul. Despite his experience advantage, Tyson's health has been a concern after the boxing match against 'The Problem Child' was postponed in July due to an ulcer flare-up.
Paul recently released an episode of his podcast, 'BS w/ Jake Paul,' featuring former UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic. The 42-year-old had this to say when asked for his prediction for Paul vs. Tyson:
"I got you [Paul], babe."
Heading into the event, Jake Paul holds a professional boxing record of 10-1, including a sixth-round knockout against Mike Perry in July.
Meanwhile, Mike Tyson's last fight took place in November 2020 when he faced Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition, which was scored a draw.

Jake Paul claims he and Stipe Miocic will put Ohio on the map with respective wins
Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson will take place on Friday, Nov. 15. One day later, UFC 309 goes down inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, with Stipe Miocic challenging Jon Jones for his heavyweight world title.
Paul and Miocic were born in Ohio, which 'The Problem Child' mentioned during the previously mentioned podcast episode of 'BS w/ Jake Paul':
"We're going back-to-back as Drake would say. I'm fighting the day before you. We have the opportunity to bring this sh*t home for Ohio. When you win and when I beat Mike Tyson, Ohio is going to be on the f*cking map."
Stipe Miocic hasn't fought since suffering a second-round knockout loss against Francis Ngannou in March 2021. He now looks to silence the doubters by defeating Jon Jones, who's coming off a torn pectoral muscle that canceled their initial fight date in November 2023.
