Former boxing star Butterbean has sensationally claimed that Mike Tyson’s fight with Jake Paul is ‘never’ going to happen.
And he also says the whole thing is simply a ‘scam’ PR stunt as a press conference involving the pair creeps closer.
Tyson and Paul will speak about their upcoming showdown on August 18, with their fight currently scheduled to take place on November 15.
Both men are adamant their battle will go ahead, despite already being delayed once
But Butterbean, real name Eric Esch, believes it won’t ever happen.
“Him and Tyson are never gonna fight,” he said during a Q&A.
“That has been a scam from the very beginning just to boost Jake’s name – and it has!
“This guy, everybody’s talking about him. But he’s never gonna fight Tyson.
They were never planning on fighting each other, because a promoter would never let him fight anyone else in between a fight.
“Never – not that big of a fight. So, it’s been a scam from the beginning.”
There is currently nothing to substantiate his claims.
Both Tyson and Paul are adamant they’re in a position to finally do battle, five months after their fight was first announced.
