Former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson admitted that he is "indescribably afraid" of facing YouTuber Jake on July 20 in the US state of Texas.

The boxing star told Fox News, "I have a strange personality. Everything I'm afraid to do, I do. That's how it is. I was afraid of fighting Roy. I was about 45 kilograms overweight, and I was at an old age, 54 or 53 years old. I said, 'Let's do it.'" .

Mike Tyson continued, "Anything I'm afraid of, I face it. This is my personality. Now I'm afraid to death. I always believed that adversity and adversity push me towards success. If I didn't have these feelings, I wouldn't have this fight. I must have such feelings." "Feelings to fight, without them I would never enter the ring."

Tyson - who in 1986 became the youngest heavyweight champion in history when he was only 20 years old - used to cry before every fight, and now, after nearly 40 years, Mike Tyson says, “The closer the fight gets, the less worried I am, because in reality... , I am invincible".

Mike Tyson concluded, "I watched a video of him on YouTube when he was 16 years old (Jake Paul) doing strange dances. This is not the man I will confront. This man will come and try to hurt me. This is something he is used to, and he will be very wrong."

As a boxer, Jake Paul has 9 victories and one defeat, as he suffered his only defeat last year against Tommy Fury before returning with 3 consecutive victories. Before his loss to Fury, he made a surprising start to his fighting career, as he won 6 consecutive fights, and Paul said that he aspires to defeat Tyson. One of the legends of boxing.

Tyson (57 years old) had previously said about his opponent, Jake Paul, and said that he “has developed significantly and is performing as if he has been boxing for years, so it will be very interesting to see what the will and ambition of the child can do with some experience and competence... It is a moment.” It will be more than exciting to watch.”
