Hulk Hogan Probes Jake Paul on Upcoming Fight with Mike Tyson

The excitement around Jake Paul’s upcoming fight with Mike Tyson has reached fever pitch, especially after WWE legend Hulk Hogan grilled Paul on whether the bout was scripted. The fight, initially scheduled for next month, was postponed to November 15 due to Tyson’s ulcer flare-up.

The fight, set to span eight two-minute rounds, has had fans and fighters questioning its authenticity. Hogan, who is friends with both Paul and Tyson, shared his doubts until a recent conversation with Paul.

“I’m friends with both guys,” Hogan stated. “I love Mike to death, but I was in Miami for the Formula 1 races with Jake Paul. I pulled Jake aside and said, ‘Hey brother, what’s up with this thing? Is this a work like wrestling, or are you guys going to really go at it?’”

Paul’s response was unequivocal. “I’m going to knock him out!” he declared, leaving Hogan and fans alike eagerly anticipating the showdown. “I’m glad it is rescheduled because I don’t want any excuses. I want both men at 100 percent. I get a feeling this will be the fight of the century. This is going to be a good one,” Hogan added.

Jake Paul’s Risky Pre-Tyson Bout with Mike Perry

Adding to the drama, Paul has agreed to fight former UFC fighter and bare-knuckle boxing star Mike Perry next month in Florida. The two have a history of trading verbal jabs, and this clash is expected to be intense.

“Now, as I prepare for my fight against Iron Mike, there’s no better opponent for me than Mike Perry,” Paul said. “He’s a proven knockout artist who has shown to be a maniac in and out of the ring. This is the perfect experience for me to gain in advance of facing Mike Tyson. But getting that experience comes with risk.”

Paul’s confidence remains unshaken. “Those who know me know I’m a risk taker and while ‘Platinum’ Perry might try to end me, I’m Titanium Jake Paul and I fear no man. I’m going to get the W and give everyone a preview of what I’m bringing to the ring against Mike Tyson. Tune in on DAZN PPV as I return to Tampa and send ‘Platinum’ Perry the Platypus back to bare knuckle for good.”

What’s Next?

With both fights on the horizon, Jake Paul’s determination and willingness to take risks highlight his unique approach to boxing. Fans are eagerly waiting to see if Paul can deliver on his promises and what impact these bouts will have on his career. The rescheduled Tyson fight on November 15 is being billed as a potential fight of the century, and the outcome could redefine Paul’s standing in the world of combat sports.
