Mike Tyson responds to Jake Paul’s $5 million offer: ‘He should offer more’

Former world heavyweight champion boxing maestro, Mike Tyson has scoffed at opponent, Jake Paul’s $5,000,000 wager to sport a tattoo with his name on it if he can’t last more than four rounds in their boxing match next month — claiming he would need to up the stake by a considerable number.

Tyson, a former undisputed heavyweight champion in professional boxing, has been out of action since he suffered a stoppage loss to Kevin McBride back in 2005, which came as his second consecutive knockout loss against Danny Williams the year prior.
