Jake Paul has hailed boxing legend Mike Tyson and wants to fight him before the end of the year.
The YouTube star was reported to have verbally agreed to face Tyson last year but both fighters denied that a fight was set to take place. Since the denial, Tyson has claimed he plans to hold talks with Paul over an exhibition bout despite previously admitting it would take a sizeable U-turn to consider an offer.
Tyson declared that any fight with Paul would have to happen before the end of the year but believes that a fight is possible. Paul has now issued a response on social media, tweeting: "Thank you to the great Mike Tyson for the respect and opportunity. This year we are making it happen."
