Mike Tyson has sent Jake Paul a chilling warning ahead of their November fight after the YouTube star defeated Mike Perry by sixth-round knockout on Saturday.
Tyson and Paul were originally scheduled to fight this week, but the boxing match was postponed until November after ‘Iron Mike’ suffered a medical issue in May.
However, the 57-year-old is determined to fight Paul and reminded his much younger opponent how quickly their fight was coming up in a threatening post to X.
‘118 days – 16 weeks and 6 days – 17 weekends – 2,832 hours – 169,920 minutes – 10,195,200 seconds,’ he wrote on X.
‘[The] The clock is ticking now. #TysonPaul #TheClockIsTicking #JakesWake.’

The 32-year-old Bare Knuckle Fighting champion was not one to be deterred and even occasionally tested the YouTube sensation’s chin during a grueling match.
However, after beating Perry in the first and second rounds, Paul hit him so hard in the sixth round with a stunning combination that there was no turning back.
Paul immediately paid tribute to his brave opponent that evening.
“He’s tough,” he said of Perry. “I’m sorry it took so long. I just hit him too hard, but he took a lot of damage. That’s a W baby, I’m so excited.”

Paul also told Tyson to “sign” the contract before their scheduled fight in November, but he also took a swipe at UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Alex Pereira.
“Alex Pereira, you said you wanted to box… I’m the king of this, come here and we can make it happen,” he said.
The fight between Paul and Tyson is currently scheduled for November 15 at AT&T Stadium in Texas.
The ‘Problem Child’ has fought mostly former UFC fighters in his boxing career. Perry is the fifth former UFC fighter he has defeated.
