JAKE PAUL is teaming up with Mike Tyson to record a new episode of Iron Mike’s Hotboxin’ podcast – and there’ll be plenty of cannabis.
The YouTuber has seemingly found himself an ally in the fighting world after calling out Conor McGregor, angering Nate Diaz, and even receiving a fight offer from Amanda Nunes.
Jake Paul has revealed he is set to appear on Mike Tyson’s podcast
The YouTuber shared a video of himself in the smokey studio with the boxing icon
Paul, 23, has won his first two bouts as a professional boxer, empathically knocking out retired NBA player Nate Robinson, 36, in November.
Yet he hit the headlines after as he called out UFC superstar McGregor for a fight and branded the Notorious an ‘Irish c***’.
Paul is now set to roll back the curtain on his plans to get back in the ring to boxing legend Tyson on an episode of Hotboxing’.
Iron Mike’s popular podcast sees ‘the baddest man on the planet pour his soul into conversations with fascinating minds, celebrities and athletes in a studio full of smoke’.
And Paul revealed in an Instagram Story that he was due to appear on an as-of-yet un-confirmed episode.
The social media star put up a short clip of himself in the studio with Tyson as the former heavyweight champion held a joint.
Paul said: “Big podcast coming”, to which 54-year-old Tyson replied: “yes it is.”
Iron Mike has been a vocal advocate for YouTubers crossing over to boxing as he praised them for breathing life into the sport last month.
Speaking at the post-fight interview following his comeback draw against Roy Jones Jr, he said: “My ego says so many things, but my reality says this, they helped boxing so much.
“Boxing owes these guys some kind of… they owe these YouTube boxers some kind of respect.
“Boxing was pretty much a dying sport. The UFC was kicking our butt. Boxing is going back thanks to the YouTube boxers.”
