"That lady is so dumb" - Fans react to Mike Tyson raising voice at female reporter for asking him about potentially losing to Jake Paul

The Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson pre-fight press conference featured an explosive moment when a female reporter asked 'Iron Mike' about what he'd do moving forward if he lost to Paul in their upcoming clash. Naturally, her question didn't sit well with Tyson, who is known for his temper.

He offered her two answers. The first one was measured, with Tyson asserting that there was no possibility of him losing to Paul. However, the reporter pressed for Tyson to address a scenario in which he'd lose, which led to an irritated 'Iron Mike' raising his voice somewhat.

"I am NOT going to lose! Did you hear what I said?"

This prompted the reporter to issue a quick thank you to Tyson, with the moment now drawing attention on social media. Fans on X had plenty to say about both Tyson and the reporter's conduct, with many praising the former for his intensity ahead of his bout with Paul.

One fan criticized the reporter for trying to double down on her question after Tyson's initial response.

"That lady is so dumb why the f**k would she ask again "but if you DID lose" like you're f**king stupid"

Others claimed they could feel that classic Tyson mindset.

"Mike Tyson's not here for the games! You can feel the intensity"

Not everyone was on Tyson's side, though. Some feel that Tyson will indeed lose to Paul.

"Sorry Mike but Jake Paul is gonna wake you up to reality"

This was echoed by another fan.

"Mike Tyson is gonna lose though"

This isn't the first time Mike Tyson has snapped at a reporter about the Jake Paul fight

Before it was postponed and moved to a later date, the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight had another press conference, during which a reporter asked 'The Problem Child' about his boxing aspirations. Given the 31-year age difference between him and Tyson, the reporter asked Paul how seriously he was taking his career.

He described the bout as a gimmick, which ultimately led to Tyson losing his temper, saying the following:

"What did you just call me!? What did you call me!?"
