Jake Paul has insisted he will only fight Mike Tyson, instead of anybody else, as their controversial boxing match continues to creep closer.
It was confirmed back in March that the pair would be engaging in a clash, despite a huge 31-year age gap between the two men.
Tyson’s last fight was against Roy Jones Jr in 2020, while Paul beat Mike Perry back in July.
With Tyson suffering an ulcer flare up earlier in the year, there are concerns over whether the 58-year-old can perform well against a man nearly half his age.

Some fear the clash could be cancelled at the last minute, especially with Tyson needing to pass stringent medical tests in order for the contest to go ahead.
Yet Paul has now made it clear he’ll only fight Tyson, rather than someone else, while also saying he’s heard positive things about the veteran’s training camp.
“It’s Mike Tyson or nothing,” he said.
“But first and foremost, he’s healthy and feeling amazing and doing great in camp.”
Paul also revealed he wants a fight with Canelo Alvarez.
The pair have regularly fired verbal shots at each other over the years, with Paul a Marmite figure in the sport.
The American added: “Everything I’ve said has come true and why Canelo, you know, should be awake at night, because I’m coming for him.
“The fight is going to happen and I will win and shock the whole entire world. And, this is me currently speaking it into existence.
“People will sit there and listen to that and be like, ‘Oh, he’s crazy’.
“But, I was crazy when I said I’d be doing the biggest fights when I would beat Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva, all of these things.
Meanwhile, Tyson’s former trainer, Jeff Fenech, has opened up about the showdown in a new interview with The Mirror.
Fenech insists that Tyson is going to fight, despite being advised not to by many figures associated with the sport.
And he also thinks that, by using his brain and staying focused, the boxing icon can roll back the years by delivering an epic win.
“If it was my decision, I’d much prefer him not fight at all, but he’s going to fight,” he said.
“I’ve spoken to him a few times [recently]. I spoke to him about the fight.
“Realistically, if Mike uses upstairs and nothing else, and does the right things, this could be the easiest money he’s ever made.
“When you’re both throwing punches, it’s a 50/50 thing who lands.
“But if Mike concentrates and makes him miss, and then makes him pay… That’s what Mike’s an expert in, he’s got great head movement.
“If he does that in 30 seconds, the fight could be over in 30 seconds.
“Mike just needs to use his common sense, don’t try to punch when he’s punching, make him miss and make him pay.”
