Mike Tyson recently had some strong words about his upcoming boxing matchup with Jake Paul, which has sparked reactions from fans worldwide. Many have expressed excitement about the fight following Tyson's remarks, while some think otherwise.

Sports Commentator Wade Plemons recently took to X and shared a clip of Tyson watching Paul's in-ring interview with MMA journalist Ariel Helwani following 'The Problem Child's' victory over former UFC fighter Mike Perry. During the interview, the 27-year-old acknowledged the boxing legend but warned him about the potential consequences of facing him.

In response, Tyson emphasized Paul's notoriety through his social media presence and issued a stern warning, saying:

''There is a fundamental difference between Jake and me. He is a manufactured killer. Televisions and the papers made him look like a killer. He's manufactured. I am a natural born killer. That's the difference.''

Fans soon rushed to the comments section to share their reactions.

One fan cited Tyson's performance in his prime, writing:

''Can you imagine Mike Tyson in his prime fighting Jake Paul? That fight would be over so fast.''

Another praised Tyson for his unfiltered remarks, writing:

''Tyson so real, so raw, so right. He’s just a different breed, no matter what happens in this ‘fight’. There was no one, ever, like Iron Mike''

Other fans wrote:

''Someone create a time machine where we can bring back 25 year old Kid Dynamite Mike Tyson. I swear Mike would literally just KO this guy so fast it would just be hilarious to watch.....Mike at Jake's age was just an absolute powerhouse. and this guy wouldn't of had any chance vs him.''
''Every fibre of my being wants Mike to pull this off bruh''

Lennox Lewis discusses Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson boxing match

Mike Tyson's former opponent Lennox Lewis gave his take on Tyson's upcoming boxing matchup with Jake Paul.

In an interview with Sky Sports Boxing earlier this month, Lewis expects Tyson to perform well and stated that it would be an exciting contest.

''Mike Tyson, just kind of cutting off the ring and throwing body and head blows, when he can catch up to Jake Paul. I'm sure Jake Paul will be moving fast, moving around the ring. He's not going to want to stand there and get hit by Mike Tyson! I'll be there and it's going to be exciting."
