Footage of Mike Tyson and Jake Paul's first face off has fans thinking the fight is already done
The first press conference ahead of the highly anticipated fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson has taken place, and fans think there is a clear winner following the face-off.
Both Paul and Tyson took part in a launch press conference on Monday ahead of their blockbuster fight on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, with tickets for the fight going for insane prices.
At the presser, Tyson sent Paul a rather chilling warning while his YouTuber opponent talked his usual talk.

"I really like Jake a lot, but once he’s in that ring, he has to fight like his life is depending on it. Because it will be."
Paul added: "He was game. I think he’s always wanted to do this. This has been a long time coming. We’ve been calling each other out for years and we finally got to make it happen, on Netflix, the biggest platform in the world. Things just keep on getting bigger and better."
Following the press conference, the pair took part in their first real face-off, with both men seemingly in good spirits as they were seen laughing and joking with each other.
While there wasn't any crazy headbutts or shoves to report on, fans were all gobsmacked by the size of Paul who looked considerably bigger than his opponent.

"Mike Tyson knocking out Jake Paul will bring the world together"
