#3. Jake Paul fires back at KSI for criticizing his next fight against Mike Tyson

Jake Paul recently responded to KSI after the British YouTuber criticized his bout against Mike Tyson during a recent episode of the IMPAULSIVE podcast.

'The Problem Child' and 'Iron Mike' are set to step into the squared circle on July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The event will be livestreamed on Netflix for all subscribers, and marks the first combat sports event to be hosted by the platform.

During a recent livestream on Kick with popular streamer Adin Ross, Paul addressed the comments made by KSI.

According to the former Disney channel star, despite the 31-year age difference between himself and Tyson, the difference is that he is actually accepted a fight against him, whereas KSI had not.

He said:

"You wanna know the difference between Mike Tyson and KSI? It's that Mike Tyson will actually fight me. So who's a b**ch now? 'Oh, Mike's this, Mike's that,' but Mike signed the contract you f**king b*tch KSI."

He added:

"Say whatever you want, but you also said a year ago that Mike Tyson would beat you, and you wouldn't take the fight because of that, so make up your f**king mind. You just sound like a cowardly b*tch."
