Mike Tyson points out the “fundamental difference” between him and Jake Paul

The epic fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson will finally begin later this week in Texas. The spectacle includes a total of seven fights at AT&T Stadium.

Ahead of the fight, Netflix released a documentary in which Paul and Tyson prepare for the fight. In one clip, Tyson saw Paul confront him after the YouTuber-turned-boxer defeated Mike Perry in his last fight over the summer.

Tyson laughed as Paul declared himself the new face of the sport.

“There is a fundamental difference between me and Jake,” Tyson said in the documentary. “He is an artificial murderer. TV and newspapers made him a murderer. It is artificially made. I am a born murderer. That’s the difference.”

The highly anticipated fight will take place on Friday evening. It took a long time since the fight was originally supposed to start in July. However, Tyson suffered a medical incident that resulted in the date being postponed. Meanwhile, Paul knocked out Perry in Florida.

Despite health concerns about a 58-year-old Tyson stepping between the ropes to face 27-year-old Paul, “Iron Mike” revealed back in July why he wants to take the fight.

“I’m a glory junkie. I love it when people think about me all day,” Tyson told Esquire in an interview before suffering a medical emergency on a flight. “I would rather live a short life of glory than a long life of obscurity. That’s just who I am.”

“That’s all I started fighting for – to get this damn status,” he later continued. “I will pursue it for the rest of my life. I know that. I’ll never get what I want because I’m one of those pain eaters. I can never get enough.”
