Asked to name the fee that would convince him to return to the ring at the age of 55 to fight Paul, Tyson noted that he would ask for one billion dollars.
Boxing legend Mike Tyson has dismissed rumours about a potential fight with famous YouTuber Jake Paul, after admitting that the two men maintain a close relationship.
Asked to name the fee that would convince him to return to the ring at the age of 55 to fight Paul, Tyson noted that he would ask for one billion dollars.
"I've been smoking with him forever, I did some shows with him as well," Tyson said on his podcast, which is called Hotboxin.
"I was with him in St. Barts not too long ago, partying.
"Nobody told me that [a fight with Paul is in the works].
"He ain't got no f**king money. So where's the f**king contract?
"I've never heard this from nobody, I've just heard this from you guys. We got to get some more man s**t, blue-eyed, blonde hair, that s**t is very expensive, we need to get some more money, man. [I'd fight him for] a billion bucks." .
Meanwhile, on Tuesday night Tyson experienced one of the most surreal nights of his life, and look how vibrant his life has been.
Tyson went to the recording of a comedy show on the roof of a restaurant in Hollywood, when it all went wrong.
Suddenly a man stood up and started to provoke him, challenging him to a fight, Tyson remained calm in his place without going into provocations when suddenly another man arrived and urged him to leave him alone.
At first it was thought that it was all part of the show, however the story became more serious when the first man pulled out a gun and pointed it at the second man and Tyson himself.
That's when people got scared and started hiding under tables and fleeing in terror, until the situation calmed down, and the man with the gun returned to Tyson and ended up greeting him calmly and hugging him.
Whether the scene belonged to the comedy show act or was a real scene will never be known.
The police reported and confirmed that they did not receive any emergency call and the aforementioned man was not seen in the vicinity of the venue after the show.
