Sean Strickland approves of a lot of things. โHereโs the thingโ pro-Americano UFC star Strickland goes by the moniker of โTarzanโ. Gun-totting unabashed violence, Republican sentiments, cultural or gender supremacy โ Strickland is here for it. But, the one idea the unhinged UFC star will absolutely not approve of is Jake Paulโs boxing match with legend Mike Tyson. To that end, he has some choice words for it.
Paul (10-1, 7 KOs) takes on 58-year-old Mike Tyson (50-6, 44 KOs) in a Netflix special event at the Dallas Cowboysโ AT&T Stadium in Texas. It happens in just over a few hours and brings Tysonโs regressing health to the forefront evermore. Notwithstanding if he can be the โIronโ of old or succumb to the fame-chasing Paul and his crass KO intentions, Strickland now went off on Jake Paul.
Jake Paul might have held his notoriety as a gimmicky YouTube star. But โEl Gallo De Doradoโ โ a lifelong cruiserweight boxing enthusiast, has made strides in his professional career and amassed a 10-1 (7 KOs too) stat over striking veterans. Mike Tyson, once feared as โKid Dynamiteโ, is returning to his ferocious demeanor. But even then, the likes of Sean Strickland are voicing major concerns for the near-60 boxer.
@jakepaul is a clown
Your ability to make money off stupid people is impressive but being rich won’t buy you dignity

Mike Tyson reveals surprising reason for slapping Jake Paul
Celebrity pugilist Jake Paul will fight former WBC heavyweight champion Mike Tyson tonight (Friday, 15 November 2024). Itโs in an eight-round, pro-sanctioned showdown at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Promoters have yet to release official purses. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) has remained tight-lipped on almost everything about it. However, industry insiders have a rough estimate of $60 million.
$40 million for Paul; $20 million for Mike Tyson plus betting props, per USAToday Sports. The Netflix rivals could collectively pay out a staggering $60 million in a historic set-up like no other. Despite their drawbacks and doubts, pundits and promoters support that this is reason enough for Tyson to make this choice. However, there remains the gimmick of the build-up and the real motivation to do it at all.
Tyson revealed why he actually slapped Jake Paul during their final face-offs.
A representative for Tyson told the Post that โProblem Childโ Jake has been poking the bear all along. Even MMA meme pages contributed to the fact about how the boxing icon revered feline instincts and told on the viral โJoe Rogan Podcastโ that wild cats get ferocious if stepped on the toes. Paul might have taken him up on it to instigate a mental warfare to the โTโ. Now, the 11th hour of the build-up is on rage fuel and only adds to the hype. Will Tyson pounce back? Stay tuned tonight to know more.
