The announcement of Jake Paul and Mike Tyson’s boxing match set for July 20 rocked the social media world on Thursday.
Shortly after the news dropped, TMZ Sports reminded boxing fans that just four years ago, the YouTuber-turned-boxer sounded like he would never face some of the legends of the sport. But it seems he changed his mind over the course of his young career.
“Look, I’m confident, but I’m not stupid,” Paul told TMZ back in 2020. “I would not go into the ring with them. Nah, no chance.”
