All the fans and followers are looking forward to the boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. A press conference was held on Wednesday night at Toyota Music Factory. Sponsored by ESPN’s Ariel Helwani, the event saw Jake Paul standing right in front of the actual fighters with other under-card fighters who were asked to predict the fight that was about to happen. The majority of the boxers voted for the 58-year-old Tyson, while Paul appears to be annoyed, and eager to give out some challenges too.
Undercard Fighters Split on Predictions, Majority Favor Tyson
When asked for predictions, nine of the twelve fighters who were expected to perform in the undercard fights tipped Mike Tyson, citing him as a legend and a puncher. Out of those selecting Paul as their champion, three were fighters affiliated with MVP Promotions company owned by Paul, namely, Lucas Bahdi, Shadasia Green, and Amanda Serrano. When the odds were so heavily in Tyson’s favor, Paul reacted immediately by telling the punters who had taken money on him to bet their money on his fellow fighters to show determination and willingness to win the bet.
Smirking past the rows of fighters who had predicted the Tyson win, Paul offered each of the fighters a bet. He became more agitated as he targeted individual fighters, questioning their prognosis and supporting his cocksureness by putting his money where his mouth was. One of the memorable exchanges was with the Indian welterweight Neeraj Goyat, who seemed to be willing to stake one of his properties in India, which was estimated to be over one million dollars. In contrast, Australian featherweight Dana Coolwell countered with a much tamer and almost juvenile bet of $20.
Jake Paul’s Heated Exchange with Bruce Carrington
A highlight of the press conference was Jake Paul’s fiery exchange with Brooklyn’s Bruce “Shu Shu” Carrington, a hometown supporter of Mike Tyson. Angered by Carrington’s prediction, Paul retorted in words of fury and told Carrington how he makes so much more than Carrington does. He then came up with a one million dollar challenge, which gave Carrington a look of surprise. Paul mimicked bravado to show that the press conference was hot and that he had vowed not to let his opponents, those who believed Tyson, succeed.
