Popular American blogger and boxer Jake Paul continues to fuel interest in his upcoming bout with legendary compatriot Mike Tyson.
It was previously reported that Paul and Tyson's fight, which is scheduled for July 21 in Arlington, USA, will be made official.
"It's war, and in love and war, all means are good. I love the guy, but since the fight will be official, one of us has to die. He takes the upcoming fight very, very seriously and that's what will make the fight awesome for all the fans.
Tyson is a killer. I'm moving up to heavyweight so he's going to have some advantages, but that's what's going to make the fight so exciting," USA TODAY quoted Paul as saying.

Despite initial doubts if it would be an official bout or an exhibition, it has been confirmed as a professional contest.

The fight, which will be a professional fight and will take place within the heavyweight division, will take place on July 20 in Arlington, USA.
"The fight is professional and now it's a war. If Mike likes this status of the fight, I do too. I wanted Tyson to be the one to make this fight official because I respect him as a legend.

If that pisses you off, then watch soccer," Paul said on his podcast.
