Paul: «Fat Will Turn Into Muscle»

Blogger and boxer Jake Paul (9-1, 6 KOs) spoke about his preparation for the upcoming fight against former undisputed world champion Mike Tyson (50-6, 44 KOs).

«Everything was good, but there was a small transition to the heavyweight division. I definitely needed to gain weight so I could compete with Mike Tyson and so he couldn't throw me around the ring.

We sparred with heavyweights and ate more food. Mike Tyson called me fat, but I believe that fat will turn into muscle. And I believe that on fight night, I'll be able to move and dance in the ring like a true heavyweight,» said Paul.

The 27-year-old Jake Paul and 57-year-old Mike Tyson will face off on July 20 in Arlington, Texas, USA. This is the first fight that will be streamed live by Netflix.

The match is officially sanctioned as a professional heavyweight bout, and the result will be officially recorded in the athletes' records.
