  • Jake hits out

    Appearing on the Betr podcast, Jake Paul could hardly hide his exasperation at claims over his Mike Tyson fight.

    He said: “It’s so sad that millions of people believe that. It’s f***ing absurd. Obviously, none of that is true.

    “They’re so f***ing stupid. Anyone who believes that s should not be allowed to vote.

    “Actually, I thought of this – there should be these hidden tests throughout life that qualify you to be able to vote or not.

    “And they don’t know whether they’re taking a test or not.

    “The fact that these people are not only driving around on our streets but they’re able to vote? They’re out there driving cars!

    “They’re dumb as f*** and it’s sad.“We live in a f***ed up world. Humans are getting more and more stupid every day. It’s crazy.”

  • Paul fumes at crazy rumours over Tyson fight

    Jake Paul has fumed at online theories that his fight with Mike Tyson has a series of bonkers rules.

    Earlier this month it was announced that the Problem Child would be facing Iron Mike at the 80,000-seater AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on July 20.

    One mooted stipulation was that Paul would be allowed to wear a head guard while Tyson went without.

    While another claimed that he’d be able to tag-team his WWE star brother Logan in.
