Jake Paul clarifies comment on Mike Tyson's Parkinson's disease: 'I Misspoke'
Jake Paul is walking back a statement he made about boxing legend Mike Tyson after accidentally suggesting that the former heavyweight champion had Parkinson's disease. The internet went into a frenzy after Paul, 27, claimed in a recent interview that psychedelic toad venom 'cured Tyson's Parkinson's' and that it played a role in his return to the ring. However, Paul quickly shut down the speculation, taking to X (formerly Twitter) to clarify his statement. 'Bruh…Mike Tyson didn't have no Parkinson's…WTF. Why the f**k is the internet so stupid for. I misspoke. Meant he used toad to heal his pain. He has spoken about it many times. Just like I do. Just like many do,' he wrote. Bruh…Mike Tyson didn't have no Why the fuck is the internet so stupid for. I misspoke. Meant he used toad to heal his pain. He has spoken about it many times. Just like I do. Just like many do. — Jake Paul (@jakepaul) The clarification comes after Paul's blockbuster fight against Tyson in November, which saw the social media star defeat the boxing icon via unanimous decision at AT&T Stadium. The match was one of the biggest events of Paul's career, but his latest comments on Tyson's health have reignited controversy. While there is no official confirmation that Tyson, 58, has Parkinson's disease, concerns about his health have surfaced in recent months. The former champion experienced a medical scare in May due to an ulcer flare-up, which resulted in a four-month delay of his bout with Paul. Outside of his comments on Tyson, Paul also stirred up another debate—this time about the state of mixed martial arts. Speaking on the All The Smoke Fight podcast, he claimed, 'MMA is not what it was. That's the truth of the matter. Boxing is bigger than ever. The biggest sporting event of the year of 2024 was boxing, whereas MMA is becoming a s**ttier version of boxing.' Paul argued that modern MMA is 'essentially kickboxing' due to the increasing ability of fighters to defend takedowns and their expertise in jiu-jitsu. 'There's no more submissions, really. There's not a lot of takedowns and even if there is, it's f**king boring,' he added. Despite his controversial takes, Paul continues to be a major figure in combat sports, both for his in-ring performances and his unfiltered opinions. With Tyson's health clarified and his stance on MMA making waves, Paul remains at the center of the conversation—whether fans like it or not.

Jake Paul and brother Logan tease potential boxing match ‘decade' in the making
Brothers Jake and Logan Paul have seemingly teased that they could meet in a boxing match, after releasing a digital poster on Tuesday. The American pair, who both made their names as social-media stars, have competed in the boxing ring numerous times in recent years. Jake, 28, is 11-1 as a professional and most recently beat heavyweight legend Mike Tyson, outpointing the 58-year-old in November. Logan, 29, has predominantly fought in exhibition bouts, including a contest with sporting great Floyd Mayweather in 2021. And on Tuesday (28 January), Logan took to Instagram to share a digital poster, which showed him facing off with Jake. The caption read: 'The moment you've waited a decade for… March 27 on @streamonmax.' Jake and streaming service Max were both listed as collaborators on the Instagram post. MMA Fighting reported: 'A formal announcement about the event is expected this week, but sources told MMA Fighting's Damon Martin that no fight was confirmed with the tease from the Paul brothers, and it's unlikely that's an accident. Earlier on Tuesday, Jake told the All The Smoke Fight show that Logan was almost chosen as his opponent for November's record-breaking Netflix fight, before Tyson was picked. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Logan Paul (@loganpaul) 'I'm okay with fighting my brother, because I wouldn't have to be the one that dealt with losing,' Jake said. 'Seriously. Emotionally, if that would scar him, then he shouldn't do it. But if he's going to sign up, I don't have to be the one to lose.' The 28-year-old also joked that the opportunity to get revenge on Logan for beating him up as a kid 'plays into it a little bit'. Logan has mainly featured in WWE since 2021, although he did box Conor McGregor's former teammate Dillon Danis in 2023. Logan won via disqualification after a brawl took place in the ring. Most recently, Logan was linked with a boxing match against McGregor in India, but the former UFC champion suggested last week that the exhibition bout has fallen through.
