- Online fans reacted to Mike Tyson and Jake Paul’s faceoff
- Michael Bisping criticized “The Problem Child”
Fight fans and Michael Bisping are clearly not impressed by how proud Jake Paul is for facing a much older Mike Tyson.
Fans are not convinced
Tyson and Paul are picking up where they left off in their rescheduled boxing match. The pair met face-to-face in a recent presser and things got a bit intense as both fighters put their hands on one another.
While the faceoff was quite entertaining, some online fans weren’t convinced that “The Problem Child” is taking his stock a notch higher by fighting a 58-year-old Tyson.

Here’s what some of them had to say:
”I’m embarrassed for you”
”Jake, I think you’re not a bad boxer now and I respect you train hard! .. but Mike ended his career a long time ago.”
”Mike is 58 freaking years old and probably needs the money. This is sad, very sad.”
”Congrats you’re fighting a 60 year old. You shameless loser”
Bisping lashed out at Paul
Unsurprisingly, the presser also earned another tirade courtesy of Bisping. On his official YouTube channel, the former UFC middleweight champion hit out at Paul for acting and talking as if he is a true fighter.
Bisping savagely criticized “The Problem Child” and the bout itself, calling it :
“Let’s see if he can get us anymore excited about this absolutely sh*t show, this farce of a fight.”
“Jake, I hate to point out the obvious, that makes you look pathetic. You just admitted that you’re going up against an old man. Jake Paul, he’s a total, he’s just a tool bag,” Bisping ranted.
“It’s nice to see that he’s finally getting boo’d and the kind of response that he deserves… Finally, for once, an educated crowd. This is Grade A bullish*t,” he continued. “He picks these opponents that are, in this case he’s 58, or they are way past their sell by date, or they’re smaller than you. Fighting is about challenging yourself.”
“You are a YouTuber. You are a joke. You are a disgrace to the combat world. You’re an imposer. You’re a wannabe. You’re a fake. Challenge yourself you pathetic man, you pathetic individual. Fighting is about challenging yourself… don’t give me this fighter bullsh*t, that’s what get on my nerves,” he added.
This is going to be a painful lesson for Mike Tyson. He likes to say he gave me my start in boxing. Well I’m going to give him his end. #PaulTyson pic.twitter.com/Co7ihh1GTr

Despite being criticized, Paul vs. Tyson is still happening. The much-awaited match will take place on Nov. 15th at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. It was originally booked for July 20 but Tyson was forced to withdraw due to a health issue. Paul was then prompted to face Mike Perry, whom he stopped via TKO.
