Many fans are eagerly waiting for the return of Mike Tyson. The legendary boxer will have another professional bout this Friday, as he agreed to jump into the ring to face Jake Paul at AT&T Stadium.

Jake Paul makes fun of Mike Tyson in front of millions of fans
When Jake Paul announced his bout against Mike Tyson, everyone thought it would be an exhibition match. Nevertheless, it was later revealed that it will be, if Tyson’s health allows, a professional fight.
As the outcome of the fight will directly impact their records, both fighters are taking it very seriously. However, Jake Paul continues his irreverent antics, and now he has used his unique style of humor to make fun of Mike Tyson.
During Wednesday’s press conference, Jake Paul addressed several questions about his upcoming fight. However, a flashy piece on Paul’s ear caught reporters’ attention, prompting them to ask him about it.
“I’m not getting my s**t bitten off Friday night,” Paul said. “I got my diamond-spiked ear covers.” This $100,000 accessory was clearly a jab at Tyson, whose darkest moment in his career is famously linked to ears.
Jake Paul’s diamond cover referenced Tyson’s infamous biting of Evander Holyfield’s ear in 1997 during a bout in Nevada. Fortunately, Tyson took it lightly and didn’t react to Paul’s taunt.
