“Breaking news! There is no news, stop spreading fake news,” he said ina video shared on X(formerly known as Twitter). “There’s no truth to all this stuff around Jake Paul [vs] Mike Tyson.
“Here’s what is true. One: Mike Tyson is in unbelievable shape and is training like he hasn’t in many, many years and is looking scary for Jake Paul.
“Two: there are no tickets for sale. If you bought tickets, those are tickets that don’t exist.
“Three: over 85,000 people have signed up to get access to tickets when they go on sale. This is going to be a historic event.”
