Jake Paul wants to raise the stakes for his highly anticipated clash with ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson.
On Friday, November 15, ‘The Problem Child’ will return to the boxing ring for a showdown with the ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’ inside the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas—home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys.
With the fight airing live worldwide on Netflix, it’s already expected to be one of the most-watched combat sports events of all time. As a result, Paul and Tyson are expected to walk away with millions of dollars in their bank accounts.
However, Paul wants to up the ante. Recently, ‘El Gallo’ took to social media in his infamous fat suit to offer ‘Iron’ a chance to pick up another $5 million as long as he can last four rounds with Paul in The Lone Star State. But if he doesn’t, he’ll have to get a tattoo that says ‘I Love Jake Paul.’

“Mikey, Mikey, if you can last more than four rounds with me, I’ll give you an extra $5 million,’’ Paul said in a video shared on the Betr X account. “But, if you don’t, then you have to get a tattoo that says I love Jake Paul. Deal or no deal?’’
Mike Tyson Wouldn’t Be the First to Get the ‘I Love Jake Paul’ Tattoo
It wouldn’t be the first time Jake Paul has made a similar offer. Following his first fight with ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley in August 2021, ‘The Chosen One’ was pushing hard for an immediate rematch. Paul agreed to run it back so long as Woodley went out and got the same tattoo.
Two weeks later, Woodley revealed that he got the tattoo on the inner part of his middle finger.

Four months later, Woodley and Paul would meet for the second time inside the squared circle with the latter scoring a brutal sixth-round knockout to go two-up on the former UFC welterweight titleholder.
Still, Woodley walked away from their rematch with a guaranteed $2 million purse so all in all, it was probably worth it.
