Turning to Paul, Ross reassured Paul that he was on Paul’s side while asking him, “You got me too, right?” Paul responded, claiming he didn’t want to start the banter to begin with. “Yeah! I didn’t even want to talk s**t.” Meanwhile, the rules for Jake Paul’s upcoming fight against Mike Tyson were recently revealed.

Paul vs. Mike Tyson could be a pro fight

Paul is geared to fight Mike Tyson at AT&T Stadium in Texas on July 20, which was previously thought of as an exhibition fight. However, according to a statement from Ariel Helwani in his podcast MMA Hour, the fight could be a professional one under the auspices of the Texas Boxing Commission. 

“They’re still working on a few important details based on the conversations I’ve had,” said Helwani. “Is it pro or is it an exhibition? They want pro, but that’s up to the Texas Commission, we’ll have to wait and see. Weight? I’m told heavyweight. Rounds? I’m working on that as well.” Helwani continued. 

Meanwhile, unexpected as it was, Adin Ross could not stand Idris Virgo insulting his guest, Jake Paul. However, some would say that Ross overreacted, especially because of his obscene rant following the incident. Do you think Adin Ross did the right thing? Let us know in the comments section below.
