Jake Paul told Mike Tyson still has deadly weapon at his disposal ahead of mega-fight
Jake Paul has been warned that he will be entering the ring with a very dangerous man in November who still has his electric footwork.
The two have scheduled a controversial boxing fight that will commence in Texas on November 15 at Arlington's AT&T Stadium.
Originally, the bout was scheduled for July 20 but it was postponed after Tyson suffered a medical issue.
There were many who believed that the fight should have been cancelled outright while Paul, 27, is 31 years younger than Tyson, 58.

But while the YouTube star might have age on his side, he has still been warned that he could be walking into a very dangerous situation in November.
MMA legend Francis Ngannou, who knows a thing or two about hitting people with 12 knockout victories in 17 professional MMA fights, insisted Tyson will 'kick Paul's a**'.
Speaking on his older brother Logan Paul's podcast, Ngannou said: "Listen, I have seen Tyson move around just to show me stuff.
"He was like, 'This footwork moves like this,' and I was like hold on, like, calm down.
"He's still got it. Either way, I think Mike Tyson will beat you up.
"We're talking about Mike, bro. Mike is something else. He's a specimen."

Tyson has not been in the ring since an exhibition clash against Roy Jones Jr in 2020 but his last professional bout was in 2005.
On that occasion, Iron Mike retired on his stool after five rounds against Kevin McBride.
But the former heavyweight world champion reckons he is the hot favourite to smash Paul into next week.
