Jake Paul makes a grim prediction ahead of bout against Mike Tyson

Jake Paul recently made a dire prediction while discussing his upcoming boxing bout against Mike Tyson.

'The Problem Child' was in Miami for the Formula One Grand Prix last Sunday and spoke to USA TODAY Sports to discuss the fight. The former Disney channel star, who will face Tyson in just his 11th pro fight, then admitted that he's stepping into the ring ready to kill or be killed. He said:

''It’s war. All is fair in love and war. I love the guy, but as soon as it turned into a pro fight, one of us has to die.''

Jake Paul continued:

''He’s a legend. I love the guy. But at the end of the day, it’s war and you just have to go to war and put it all on the line. I still have the utmost respect for him, and I think he’ll say the same about me and what I’ve done for the sport."
