Rampage Jackson isn't going against Mike Tyson.
On Friday, November 15, Mike Tyson and Jake Paul will square off in a professional boxing match that will be streamed live on Netflix. The card, which will feature other fights like Mario Barrios vs. Abel Ramoswill and Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano, will take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Speaking to TMZ Sports for a brief chat, Rampage Jackson said that he won't be betting against Mike Tyson despite the age and health concerns that many fans have.
“Man, I’ll never bet against Mike Tyson, he’s my favorite boxer. Yeah, father time undefeated but I still ain’t gonna go against Mike Tyson against Jake Paul. Anything can happen in the boxing ring, but I ain’t gonna go against Mike Tyson.”
Jackson was then informed of some previous comments from Tyson where he said he might fight while he's high.
“I don’t know about that [laughs]. Mike Tyson probably just talking shit.”
When the interviewer brought up the fact that Tyson has been public about his addiction to marijuana, Jackson said that he expects Tyson to be disciplined for the fight.
“Yeah, yeah, that is a factor. He’s probably gonna be disciplined, he probably wanna shut that kid up.”
Fightful will have coverage of the Tyson vs. Paul card as it airs on Friday, November 15.
