Jake Paul and Mike Tyson will meet on November 15 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas

Jake Paul has been warned by boxing fans that Mike Tyson will 'take his head off his shoulders' in response to his latest Instagram post.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer has fought 11 fights since entering the ring - but none of his opponents hold the prestige that Tyson has.


While Iron Mike might be 58, the legendary boxer has been putting in the work as he looks to make a grand return to the ring - 19 years after his last professional bout.

The upcoming fight has come under fire from many critics due to the age gap, which will be the biggest in professional boxing history at 31 years.

But there is no denying that Tyson still possesses that wicked power that saw him win 44 of his 50 victories by knockout.

And fans reckon Paul will be hitting the canvas when they meet on November 15 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

It comes after the 27-year-old posted a video of him training in the gym where as he sparred in the ring with a partner, he left him dazed with a vicious left-hand over the top.

In fairness, it was a fine punch - but fans were unimpressed still with one replying: "Big Mike going to take bro head off his shoulders."

Another replied: "That dude had zero head movement, one of mikes best attributes."

In the Instagram post, Paul turns to the camera and sends his own warning to Iron Mike, saying: "Don't charge at me, Tyson."
