Jake Paul willing to move up to heavyweight to make Mike Tyson fight happen
Jake Paul has been angling for a fight against 'Iron Mike' for many months. It appears that the YouTuber-turned-boxer is also willing to bulk all the way up to heavyweight to make the fight come to fruition.
During an appearance on The Journey podcast, 'The Problem Child' revealed that he is ready to step up for a boxing match opposite Tyson, which he believes would generate around $200-$300 million. Here's what the 25-year-old said:
"I joke with my friends about it, I'm like, 'I'll start eating Krispy Kreme doughnuts, move up to heavyweight and fight Mike Tyson.' That would actually excite me and that's a $200-300million event. So Mike, if you're watching this, let's have some fun. New school versus old school and I think that is something that the fans would want to see."

While a fight against 'Iron Mike' certainly excites Jake Paul, the Cleaveland native also expressed interest in a boxing showdown against Floyd Mayweather, Canelo Alvarez, and Conor McGregor.
The social media sensation is clearly one of the most marketable fighters at the moment. After his knockout win over Tyron Woodley, the 25-year-old declared himself the No. 1 fighter of the younger generation, following in the footsteps of boxing greats like Muhammad Ali and Floyd Mayweather.
