From body shaming Kevin Owens to posting viral semi-nude pictures with the US Championship, Paul has evidenced his tendency to act without censorship and restraint.
That said, Paul once again made a bizarre statement, months ahead of his brother Jake Paul’s much-talked-about boxing match with the legendary “Iron” Mike Tyson. However, this time, Paul went a little overboard with his Nsfw phrasing. So, what did ‘The Maverick’ say?

Mike Tyson is one of the greatest heavyweight champions in the history of professional boxing. Nicknamed Kid Dynamite, Tyson was a prolific boxer during his prime, and he holds the record for being the youngest heavyweight champion at just 20 years of age.
The former professional enjoyed the fruits of a decorated career before he hung up his gloves in 2005. Since his retirement, several other boxers have risen to fame and used their popularity to further the popularity of the sport, including Jake Paul.
The YouTuber found his calling in the boxing ring, and the two are set to face off against each other very soon. In the meantime, a rather interesting video has been doing the rounds on social media, one where Mike Tyson takes on Paul in a simulation, and the result is hilarious.

The streamer will air the fight, which takes place at the Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Saturday July 20.

Mike Tyson has come out strongly against the planned Hulu series based on his life, “Iron Mike.”
The series, which was announced earlier on Thursday, has been given an eight-episode order at the streamer and is said to explore Tyson’s life and career in and out of the ring.
“Hulu’s announcement to do an unauthorized mini-series of the Tyson story without compensation, although unfortunate, isn’t surprising,” Tyson posted on Instagram. “This announcement on the heels of social disparities in our country is a prime example of how Hulu’s corporate greed led to this tone-deaf cultural misappropriation of the Tyson life story. To make this announcement during Black History Month only confirms Hulu’s concern for dollars over respect for black story rights.

While the much-anticipated exhibition bout between long-retired boxers Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. ended in a draw, it was Snoop Dogg that emerged as the event’s unanimous winner Saturday thanks to the rapper’s commentary during the fight.

Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. will meet in the ring on Nov. 28 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, but some blows are already being traded outside of it.
In an interview with Variety, fight producer Ryan Kavanaugh of Triller said that recent statements made by California State Athletic Commission (Csac) executive director Andy Foster to outlets like BoxingScene.com about the nature of the fight are flat-out wrong. Specifically, Kavanaugh took issue with Foster characterizing the exhibition bout as more of a hard sparring session than a normal boxing match.
“That commissioner, Andy, who stated that — I have not had a direct discussion with him, but we’ve been told by the people who do that that was him trying to make a name for himself in a magazine,” Kavanaugh told Variety. “It’s unfortunate because we wanted to bring more fights to California, but now because of him,...

HBO said today that it will end its live boxing programming at the end of 2018, a final bell at the pay-cable network that made the sport famous with the advent pay-per-view and by showcasing superstars from Mike Tyson, Oscar de La Hoya and Sugar Ray Leonard to Floyd Mayweather and Roy Jones Jr.
HBO Sports’ first live boxing broadcast was in 1973, when it covered George Foreman’s victory over Joe Frazier in Jamaica for the world heavyweight title. Its 1,100-plus fights since then included Evander Holyfield-Foreman in 1991, one of the first PPV fights, on Tvko (later renamed HBO PPV).
But viewership ratings have been in decline, partly because of the rise in popularity of Mma, and also the proliferation of outlets that feature their own boxing programming.
