Mike Tyson went off on a reporter when he was asked what he would lose if Jake Paul defeats him.

Wednesday's pre-fight press conference descended into chaos when Tony Bellew interrupted a reporter's question to make an outrageous offer.

Bellew was subsequently escorted as the press conference resumed, with Paul and Tyson fielding questions from the media.

A reporter asked 'Iron' Mike what he would lose if he fails to beat the YouTuber-tuned-boxer to which he replied: "I'm not going to lose."

She continued her question as the 58-year-old exclaimed: "I'm not going to lose did you hear what I said."


Tyson is just days away from resuming his iconic boxing career as he's had enough of the media obligations, insisting he's ready to fight.

"I'm just ready to fight. I've said everything I had to say," he added. "There's nothing else to say. I'm just looking forward to fighting.”

The former world heavyweight champion, who had an exhibition against fellow great Roy Jones Jr back in 2020, hasn't fought in a pro contest since 2005 while Paul's last fight took place last summer.

On what Paul vs. Tyson being a pro bout means to boxing, the 27-year-old replied: "Well, the people speak for themselves. I don't even have to ask them. [This is the] biggest live gate in US boxing history outside of Las Vegas. Numbers don't lie.

"People want to see this and that's an amazing accomplishment. Credit to Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano and Mike and everyone on the card as well. [...] We all did this together, and this is a statement that we had the biggest live gate outside of Vegas in US boxing history."

While Tyson hasn't competed professionally for almost 20 years, he has 58 pro fights to his name.

As for Paul, he has had 11 fights since turning pro, most recently beating Mike Perry.
