Jake Paulo is hyperfocused on his megafight with Mike Tyson …but Baby Disadvantage also has his eyes on the future and an inevitable fight with the good Canelo Álvarez!
And Paul, 27, says that when the day comes that the two men come face to face in the squared circle, Jake will be anything but content with just being there!
“Everything I said came true and why Canelo, you know, should stay up at night because I’m coming to get him,” Paul said Babcock node TMZ Sports Activities TV Gift (airs nightly on FS1).
“The fight will happen and I will win and surprise the whole world. And that’s me right now talking about it.”
For those who will no doubt scoff at Jake for the previous statement, he had a message.
“People are going to sit there and listen to this and say, ‘Oh, he’s crazy.’ However, I went crazy when I mentioned that I would have the most important fights after winning Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silvaall these things. So that you can go crazy until you don’t.
First things first though… Paul has a determined Tyson coming to try and end his block in 5 weeks.
We asked Jake if he thinks to himself, oh shit, am I fighting “Iron Mike”?
“Without a doubt. The moments of insecurity, especially transferring weight to the place (Tyson) has the weight of the benefit and everything. He is incredibly powerful and I know he is taking it seriously.”
As for Mike’s health (remember, the big fight was initially scheduled for this summer, but was postponed after MT had a medical issue), Paul says Tyson is healthy and fit to go.
“It’s Mike Tyson or nothing,” Paul said, “but early on he’s healthy, feeling good and doing well in camp.”
There’s so much more with Jake – check out the full interview – and get ready for November 15th to be right around the corner!
