Jake Paul will have his hands full with Mike Tyson on July 20 but almost did not make it past the media tour press conference. Following the May 16 presser from Texas, Paul's plane trip out of the state proved to be a lot more than he expected.

When flying home from the event, Paul and his team captured a scary moment on the plane. Through a shaky video posted on May 19, 'The Problem Child' was seen expressing fear of the lightning strikes outside, causing turbulence on board.

In the video, Paul said:

"We woke up the gods of war. There's lightning on the plane, brother. Zeus — oh s***! Zeus, I love you, brother!"

Despite the scare, Paul and his team appeared to have safely landed with the 9-1 boxer openly joking about the incident.

In the nine weeks remaining ahead of his fight with the 57-year-old Tyson, Paul will engage in several more promotional press conferences leading into fight week.
