Jake Paul found himself in hot water during a recent lie detector test, where he confidently claimed he would defeat boxing legend Mike Tyson in their upcoming bout.
Originally scheduled for July in Texas, the fight has been postponed to Nov. 15 at AT&T Stadium due to Tyson's medical issues. By the time they step into the ring, Tyson will be 58 years old, raising questions about the matchup.

His immediate response was a confident "Yeah," but the lie detector flashed red, indicating potential deception. Realizing the implications, Paul quickly backtracked, admitting:
"I'm nervous, I think I'm... it's going to be tough, it's going to be tough. Can we cut? It’s hot.”
