Jake Paul hits out at ‘jealous’ Conor McGregor after UFC star questions his fight with Mike Tyson

Jake Paul has hit back at Conor McGregor after the UFC legend questioned whether there was any interest in his upcoming bout with Mike Tyson, claiming the event will be ‘the biggest fight the world will ever see’.

A stunning announcement earlier this month confirmed that heavyweight icon Tyson, 57, would be coming out of retirement to enter the ring with YouTube sensation Paul, 27, a fighter 30 years his junior.

The spectacle, scheduled to take place at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas – home of the Dallas Cowboys – on July 20, will be streamed live on Netflix.

Several high-profile figures in boxing have voiced their concerns given the enormous age gap between the two men and Tyson’s trainer this week played down warnings from doctors that Iron Mike risked sustaining brain damage.
