Former UFC champion takes shots at 'pathetic individual' Jake Paul over Mike Tyson fight: "Don't give me this fighter bulls**t"

Jake Paul will make his return to the boxing ring on Nov. 15 when he faces Mike Tyson at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas live on Netflix. The bout has received plenty of criticism as the International Boxing Hall of Famer, who is 58 years old, is more than twice as old as Paul, who, at 27, is in his prime.

Following Sunday's promotional press conference at Fanatics Fest in New York City, Michael Bisping took aim at the social media personality. Speaking on his YouTube channel while watching the event, the UFC Hall of Famer stated:

"You are a YouTuber. You are a joke. You are a disgrace to the combat sports world. You're an imposter. You're a wanna be. You're a fake. Challenge yourself, you pathetic man, you pathetic individual. Fighting is about challenging yourself. Granted, businessman, yeah, you're killing it in that regard, but don't give me this fighter bulls**t. That's what gets on my nerves."

Check out Michael Bisping's comments on Jake Paul below (starting from 12:30):

Paul has received plenty of criticism throughout his professional boxing career, which dates back to his debut in January 2020, for his choice of opponents. He has often faced elderly mixed martial artists without much boxing experience if any at all. While he has a significant age advantage over his next opponent, Tyson is considered one of the best - and scariest - boxers of all time.

Mike Tyson not fazed by push from Jake Paul

Mike Tyson will enter the boxing ring in a professional bout for the first time since retiring in 2005 when he faces Jake Paul in November. Both fighters were on hand at Fanatics Fest in New York City to attend the latest promotional press conference for the upcoming event.

During the face-off after the half-hour press conference, the social media personality pushed his legendary opponent. The former undisputed heavyweight champion was not fazed, however, simply laughing off the push.

The pair were originally set to clash on July 20, however, Tyson suffered an ulcer flare-up in late May that forced him to withdraw from the bout.
