### Jake Paul Challenges Mike Tyson with $5 Million Bet
Social media star turned boxer, Jake Paul, has thrown down a $5 million challenge to boxing legend Mike Tyson, with a twist. The YouTuber claims he will pay Tyson this significant sum if the 58-year-old former heavyweight champion can last more than four rounds in their anticipated eight-round fight scheduled for November 15.
The stakes don't end there. If Tyson fails to go beyond the fourth round, he will need to ink a tattoo that reads, "I love Jake Paul." Jake Paul made this unusual bet public in a video on the TikTok page of his gambling site, Betr, where he appeared shirtless, stacking what looked like cash on his belly.
"Mikey, Mikey, if you can last more than four rounds with me, I'll give you an extra $5 million," Paul said in the video. "But, if you don't, then you have to get a tattoo that says I love Jake Paul. Deal or no deal?"
While expert opinions vary, many suggest Tyson's best chance for victory is to aim for an early knockout against the younger Paul, who is 27 years old. This would mitigate the need for Tyson to endure a potentially grueling match against a much younger opponent.
As of now, Tyson and his team have yet to comment publicly on Jake Paul's provocative offer.
