Skip Bayless, known for his verbal sparring with any and everybody through the years, issued a dire warning to Jake Paul concerning his November boxing match against Mike Tyson. For months now, Paul has belittled and downplayed Tyson’s dwindling talents. Bayless took to Twitter with a transparent and anxious message for Paul.
“I hate to say this, because I like Jake Paul, but Mike Tyson looks in higher shape at 58 than Jake does at 27. Perhaps Jake needs to listen to that.”
In July, Paul handily defeated Mike Perry, and after the match, the victor called out Tyson.
“Mike Tyson, you are next. … It’s anyone, anytime, anyplace.”
Relating to trash talk, some might be much more prickly than Skip Bayless. Like many who were left unimpressed with Paul’s victory against Perry and his post-fight words for the previous World Heavyweight champ, UFC legend Conor McGregor went all-in on X.
“Jake Paul is the most important pissbag I actually have ever seen in my life. 40 pound weight difference, juiced out of his head, and still shitting himself in there. Nakisa you need to take him to Vegas oh that’s right you could possibly never, the athletic commission testing, real testing, real fighting. Bitch asses. You may never. After which calling out 60year old Mike Tyson fresh off an in flight medical emergency? I swear to god, a fat can of bitch piss. Most beneficial pissbag.”
Paul’s rigorously curated list of opponents through the years has no peers of Tyson’s world-class boxing pedigree.
Jake Paul’s celebrity vs. Mike Tyson’s boxing
Since starting his boxing profession in 2020, Paul has accrued a 10-1 record with seven knockouts. His one loss got here by the hands of Tommy Fury, a TV personality with an abbreviated boxing profession. While Paul has taken UFC fighters to task like Anderson Silva, Nate Diaz, Tyron Woodley, and others, boxing is a very different sport.
Even pushing the age of 60, Tyson must be viewed as a physical outlier.
In 2020, Tyson went up against fellow boxing legend Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition. Though the final result was a draw that went the total eight rounds, Iron Mike put big blows into Junior’s body.

Despite the large moment ahead of him, Paul talks trash and likewise pays his respects to the boxing megastar as reported in MARCA.
“I’m here to make $40 million and knock out a legend. That is going to be a painful lesson for Mike Tyson. He likes to say he gave me my start in boxing. Well, I’m going to provide him his end.”
He did decelerate a bit bit.
“I really like Mike. I’m super respectful of him. It’s an honor to be within the ring with him. But I actually have to finish him. It’s war. All is fair in love and war. I really like the guy, but as soon because it was a professional fight, considered one of us has to die.”
Hyperbole aside, Skip Bayless’ warning was right about one thing. Hopefully, Paul could make this a great fight because almost nobody is rooting for him.
