Mike Tyson Ready To Punish Influencer Jake Paul, Boxing Legend Says On 'Hannity'

"Iron" Mike Tyson prepares to take on YouTube influencer Jake Paul in the boxing ring on July 20.

Fox News host Sean Hannity welcomed Tyson to "Hannity" on Tuesday night to discuss his anticipated bout at AT&T Stadium.

Tyson had a wild chat with Hannity, calling Paul a "beautiful" man while threatening to pulverize him in the same breath. The former heavyweight champ's scare tactics, even on primetime TV, looked menacing.

Millions of Americans support Mike Tyson's mission to crush Paul, hoping he'll pummel the YouTuber and knock him off the canvas for good.

Tyson last fought in an exhibition match with Roy Jones, Jr. in 2020. For a guy whose career prime (50-6, 44 KOs) came in the late 80s … not bad.

Jake Paul holds a 9-1 record with six knockouts. He last fought Tyson Fury's little brother (Tommy Fury), losing by split decision.

For all those wondering if Tyson's in it just for the money and promotion, the 57-year-old boxer is here to tell them he's taking the fight as seriously as any career fight. 

"It's kind of like the last Rocky movie," Hannity told Tyson.

Tyson went through the routine he'll use to defeat the amateur boxer. "I get up in the morning and do the real work. Then I, go to the gym; I go to strength and conditioning. Then I start all over again."
