In the new clip with a caption that read: “Jake Paul responds toMike Tysoncalling him fat,” the Ohio native appeared to be sitting on a couch while devouring fried chicken from a huge KFC bucket.
He seemingly enjoyed his fast food while watching the press conference where his opponent made the snarky remark.
The Mike vs Jake fight previously sparked controversy over whether the match would be a professional fight or an exhibition.
“I can’t exactly say I saw this coming,”Fansided MMAcontributor Tom AlbanotoldBored Pandain March. “I remember Paul saying he was (somehow) looking [at] the path towards being a world champion and would take a money fight only if it came.
“I was expecting him to have another ‘tomato can’ style bout next, but I guess the money fight came!”
In boxing, a “tomato can” refers to a fighter who is considered to be of low skill level or little threat to their opponent.

“I don’t doubt that this could sell,” Tom added. “You’ve got Netflix, the biggest streaming platform in the world.
“You’ve got Jake Paul and the brand and name value that he has in social media influencing and in combat sports. And you’ve got Mike Tyson, one of the greatest heavyweights to ever compete in thesport.”
As far as who would win, Tom said: “One thing that needs to be taken into account is that it’s not final if this is an exhibition or a pro fight.
“I’d be surprised if Texas allows this to be a legit professionalboxingcontest, but we’ve seen crazy things happen in combat sports!”
Tom predicted the fight ending in a decision win for Jake “if this is an official bout,” pointing to Mike and Jake’s age difference and “activeness.”

“Anyone who wants to say Mike is training, while that’s true, training and actual competition are two different settings,” the sportswriter said.
“That said, I wouldn’t mind seeing another KO win for the first boxer I ever became familiar with,” he admitted.
Tom concluded: “Honestly though, it’s all a spectacle. It’s a business venture. It’s a money fight.
He further stated: “I’m curious to see the viewership and social numbers for this fight. And I want to see how Netflix handles the production of this.”
Taking to his Instagram page on September 24, Jake shared a video of himself bench pressing 500 lbs (approximately 227 kg)
Stephen Jones, who boxed in the 1980s and 1990s as an amateur and spent a vast amount of time between the 1990s and 2000s in Las Vegas working with a number of fighters, including heavyweight Friday Ahunanya and former WBC heavyweight champion Samuel Peter, claimed to have witnessed Mike’s comeback after being released from prison.
“I saw how declined he looked when he first walked into the gym after Indiana and how quickly he gathered momentum and elevated himself to a point where he actually resembled a solid imitation of his best self,” Stephen toldBored Panda.
Stephen, who runsMirageboxing.blogspot.comand coaches amateur and professional fighters in the UK, further recalled: “Mike was hurting men in the gym daily, a naturally aggressive predator with very little mercy on his way to regaining the title.
“Mike, even at his most broken, could thrash his way through a version of the heavyweight division and remain a lightning bolt in the division’s history.”
However, according to Stephen, Mike has now become “a sideshow against a man who wouldn’t have had the guts to carry Mike’s gym bag in the 1990s.”
“Jake is hiding behind a goofy persona with a vast following and great business acumen. Don’t be fooled, despite noboxingbackground and a late arrival to the sport, he is always in great condition.
“He fights often and has [a] very shrewd boxing advisory around him.”

Also pointing to Jake’s younger age, Stephen added: “I’d love to have the naivety to fantasize about Mike demolishing Paul, [but] the reality is very different.
“A heavily muscled and powerful 58-year-old who hasn’t boxed a live opponent in combat in nearly 20 years and, despite his underwhelming level of opposition, Jake has boxed frequently and is an extremely diligently conditioned athlete who takes the sport seriously.”
“It’s not a fight that I’m happy to see,” the boxing enthusiast said before concluding: “Mike always has a puncher[’s] chance of hurting and stopping Paul, but in my experience, a lively and motivated young and enthusiastic upstart will be hard to discourage.”
