      by

      JAKE PAUL revealed his mum Pam is terrified of his fight with Mike Tyson – after scaring herself watching the feared fighter in action. The YouTuber-turned-boxer faces the boxing great on November 15 in Texas in a controversial clash scrutinised for age difference.Jake Paul with his mum PamBut Tyson has been attempting to miraculously roll back the clock and has been showing glimpses of his prime in short training clips.The frightening footage of the 58-year-old icon on the pads has left Paul’s mum concerned – but she will be at the fight alongside Paul’s girlfriend Jutta Leerdam.Paul, 27, said: “They will definitely be there. “But my mum is very scared actually. She keeps on asking me if I’m ready, asking my team if I’m if I’m ready and she’s not liking this one.READ MORE IN BOXING”Mike just looks scary and big… his Instagram videos look crazy. So she’s like watching all of that and just not liking it.”Tyson was initially forced to pull out of the original July 20 date after suffering from a stomach ulcer.It only added more critics to the already contentious fight for the ages – but Paul came out swinging in defence of it. He said: “I don’t get it at all. But I also don’t understand people in general, like people are dumber than a box of rocks.

If Uncle Mike is down then so am I.”Paul hosted the Professional Fighters League press conference ahead of Francis Ngannou’s MMA return fight against Renan Ferreira on October 19.And Ngannou, 37, who was coached by Tyson in the past, backed his older mentor to beat the brakes of Paul, who is three decades his junior. But Paul himself admitted: “I love it. It’s not gonna be an easy fight. I think the first four rounds are gonna be very difficult.”And if I can weather the storm of Mike Tyson, the baddest man, hardest puncher on the planet, then I believe I can pull ahead in the later rounds and be able to stop him actually. “But, Francis is not wrong. I often times get scared of that one punch and I have to be alert the whole time.”Mike Tyson facing off with Jake PaulCredit: Getty More

He told SunSport: “With McGregor, you don’t really know what to expect. “He’s a bit of a wild case. I don’t think he’s in any state of mind to be fighting at all. I don’t think he’s gonna be fighting anytime soon.READ MORE IN BOXING”The UFC have tried. They failed.

And KSI added: “Conor is more interested in me because I sell pay-per-views. “I don’t know if you know much about Jake Paul’s last pay-per-view, but he’s sold less than 50,000 buys.“He had less than 50,000 buys. That’s terrible. For someone like him, he likes to claim that he’s the A-side, he’s one of the biggest in the world, less than 50,000 is terrible.“I don’t think I’ve ever done that. So for me, I know my worth. I know what I can do. And I know what makes sense.With McGregor, you don’t really know what to expect. He’s a bit of a wild case.KSI on Conor McGregor “I’m just gonna keep my cards close to my chest. And if the Conor McGregor fight makes sense, then we’ll do it.“But again, I just don’t see him being in that right state of mind to be fighting. I think he’s too busy enjoying himself and that’s perfectly fine.”McGregor has not fought in the UFC since July 2021 and has been out since after suffering a brutal leg break in his last bout. He was due to return in June against Michael Chandler, 38, but a toe injury KOd the clash with it yet to be rescheduled. KSI is nursing a hand injury that has taken him off fighting in his event – so he will instead put on a music performance for the 3Arena.He said: “I’m gonna be working more on the music just to wrap that up again because I feel like I’ve kind of neglected it a little bit.READ MORE SUN STORIES“I’ve got a few bangers just in the locker that I’d eventually like to release.“And then in terms of fighting once I’m back to punching, it’d be good to maybe do one or two fights next year and then see how I feel from there.
