"Iron" Mike isn't taking stock in his upcoming opponent's pre-fight antics.

The gigantic controversial boxing match between former Heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson and Jake Paul is scheduled to take place on Nov. 15 from inside AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, in a little over 30 days.

While the lead-up to this fight hasn't seen as much trash talk between the competitors, and Paul has kept his pre-fight trolling to a minimum, the YouTuber turned professional boxer did post a video of him in a fat suit a couple of weeks ago that confused fans.

Today (Thurs., Oct. 10, 2024), Mike Tyson held a press conference to promote his new energy pouch supplement LF* Go! and was asked about Paul's fat suit troll job and if he’s taking the fight seriously.

“Listen, I think he’s taking it very, very seriously because his health depends on it,” Tyson said. “And yeah, I’m not looking past him, and I’m not taking him lightly at all.”

Both men have shared videos of them sparring (watch here) as they embark on this vast landmark event for Netflix.

Hopefully, Tyson makes it to the fight this time because there is no backup option.
