Jake Paul is days away from the biggest fight of his boxing career.
This Friday night, November 15, ‘The Problem Child’ will make his 12th walk to the ring for a highly anticipated clash with former undisputed heavyweight champion and the ‘Baddest Man on the Planet,’ Mike Tyson.
Paul vs. Tyson will emanate from the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas and air live on Netflix to its 280 million subscribers around the world at no extra charge.
While much of the talk surrounding their showdown in The Lone Star State has surrounded the outlandish 31-year age gap between the combatants, talks of potential steroid abuse have been dominating the headlines as of late. Specifically on the side of Paul who has been fielding questions and claims of PED use related to the fight for months.
Appearing on the TimboSugarShow podcast with UFC star Sean O’Malley and his coach Tim Welch, the latter asked if Tyson was being allowed any exemptions due to the significant age difference between the two. Paul kept his answer short but seemingly made it clear that nobody would be permitted to use any substances that are otherwise banned by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
“There is a big panel drug test from the Texas State Commission,” Paul confirmed.
All it takes is one punch #PaulTyson

Paul also shed some light on the rules that will be in place for his bout with the legendary pugilist. Instead of the more traditional three-minute rounds, Paul and Tyson will compete in eight two-minute rounds. They will also wear 14-ounce gloves instead of 10-ounce gloves which are typically used in heavyweight fights.
‘The Problem Child’ revealed that all of the rule changes were at the request of Tyson and his team, but he was more than happy to oblige so long as it got ‘Iron’ to sign on the dotted line.
“Yeah, that was always what he wanted from day one and I just wanted to agree to his rules,” Paul said. “That’s mostly how I am with these fights. Let’s make it a fair fight, move on, and just make it happen.”
Jake Paul Says God Saved America by Ensuring Trump’s Re-Election
While Paul is in final preparation for his fight with Tyson, the YouTube star had plenty to celebrate last week after three-time GOP nominee Donald Trump won re-election. Trump will officially be sworn in as the 47th President of the United States.
Asked how he was feeling after the victory, Paul suggested that God played a role in the election by “helping to save the people of America” from the “woke mind virus.”
Whatever the f*ck that means.
“Definitely a bit [nervous], but it just felt like that God, and my conversations with God that he was going to be there to help save the people of America and protect [Trump] from getting assassinated. Just to help people start thinking more clear and not be afraid of consequences from the other side which is typical in past elections. They would fear-monger you into not speaking your voice and it felt like that was evaporated from the world. God did his thing and the truth prevailed which is an amazing thing for America.
“I don’t think people realize how big of a moment this was for America because of the way the nation was going. Because of the woke mind virus and the mental health crisis… There’s no value. There’s no line anymore. Anything is real and anything is true and where that goes to is just people being controlled.
“A lot of people don’t even realize how big of a moment this was to save the future for our kids. I’m just so thankful.”
The truth and god won in America
This is a massive step in the right direction to heal the major issues going on in the world currently. America is saved.
To democrats…
I hope some can see that the truth won in this election
Voting for “bad orange guy” is an emotional…

Fear not though, we’re sure the 47.8 million immigrants—who make up 14.3% of the U.S. population—will understand while they’re being handcuffed, thrown on planes, and shipped back to their home countries over the next four years.
