Yet he was quick to respond on Sunday when asked why he was going through with his bout against Jake Paul. "Because I can. Who else can do it but me? Who else is he going to fight to make this happen?" Tyson said at a packed press conference where fans cheered the former heavyweight champion and booed Paul.

"We've just got to listen to the facts. We've got a YouTuber fighting the greatest fighter that ever lived." Tyson and Paul restarted the build-up to their match that is now scheduled for November 15 in Arlington, Texas.
