Threats in boxing are common, but when they come from Mike Tyson, they’re not to be taken lightly. YouTube boxing sensation Jake Paul certainly didn’t, after the former undisputed heavyweight champion issued a chilling warning on social media yesterday. The duo are headed for a night of punches in bunches in less than a month.

AT&T Stadium is the spot to be and November 15th is the date to mark your calendar. In the meantime, Tyson hopped on social media to share training footage from his training camp for the fight, showcasing his unusually powerful heavy punches on the heavy bag alongside agile moves in the ring while sparring. A day later, this clip seems to have come under Paul’s radar today, as he finally shared his reaction. 

Jake Paul left flustered and shocked

Before getting into how Paul reacted to the clip, let’s look at what Tyson said. Turning to Instagram yesterday, the youngest world heavyweight champion in history wrote in the caption of his post, “Oh I can’t wait for November 15th. I’m charging right through you.” Interestingly, compared to the threats Tyson used to make in his prime, this one is much tamer.

Regardless, the warning seemed to have caught Paul off guard, leaving him shocked and flustered when he stumbled upon it on social media. Hopping on his Instagram story, ‘The Problem Child’ reacted to the clip noting, “😳😳😳.” However, Paul was not alone in reacting to the post—celebrities, Tyson’s daughter, and even his business partner shared their thoughts on Tyson’s clip.

Chuck Norris in the house

It didn’t take long for the clip to garner widespread attention—in the blink of an eye, big names started buzzing in the comments. Martial artist and actor Chuck Norris complimented Tyson on his training session at the age of 58. “Looking sharp, Mike,” the actor wrote. Even now, Tyson still carries the same intimidating presence, looking menacing as ever.

Tyson’s ca***bis brand Tyson 2.0 shared their prediction for the fight. “Ooo that boy Jake is going to sleep,” wrote the company’s Instagram handle. Maybe after Paul gets dropped and shocked, he could cope faster with the loss using Tyson 2.0 products. 

Tyson’s daughter, who knows him the best, revealed how serious Tyson is about the fight. “Lockedddd innnn twinnn,” Milan Tyson wrote. Support from his family might be Tyson’s strongest motivation to take down Paul.

Tyson’s business partner and Carma HoldCo CEO Adam Wilks also joined the conversation. “Locked in and ready 🔒🐐🥊,” Wilks wrote. Based on Tyson’s warning, he seems more than ready. 

Meanwhile, even Paul’s fragrance company W came in with an unusual query. “Just wondering what he smells like,” W wrote. Obviously, he smells of power and success. 

That being said, Jake Paul might be in serious trouble, and his reaction to the fight suggests that he just realized it. However, can Mike Tyson put Paul to sleep next month? Or will he become another number on Paul’s list of vanquished opponents?
