Jake Paul has a plan prepared if Mike Tyson tries to recreate his infamous 1997 ear-biting moment when they face off in an exhibition fight July 20.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cHe can\u2019t bite my ear off if I knock his teeth out,\u201d the 27-year-old Paul told\u00a0Fox News\u2019 Jesse Watters\u00a0on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Paul, at 9-1 in his professional fighting career, will take on the former world heavyweight champion (50-6, 44 KOs) at AT&T Stadium, the home of the Dallas Cowboys \u2014 and the fight will stream live exclusively on Netflix.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cMan, I think he\u2019s underestimating me,\u2019\u2019 Paul said of Tyson, who will be 58 (his birthday is June 30) when they get in the ring. \u201cI truly \u2026 I truly think that. And it\u2019s a heavyweight fight, so, you know, he\u2019s the bigger man.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I\u2019m the faster man. He\u2019s the much stronger man, but I\u2019m fresh. He\u2019s experienced. I\u2019m smart but in the ring he may be smarter, so it\u2019s a really interesting matchup.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Paul went on to explain his training plan to face Iron Mike.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s the bigger man so \u2026 he\u2019s going to be getting inside,\u2019\u2019 the internet personality said. \u201cI\u2019m probably going to \u2026 gain weight for this fight.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I believe I have the faster feet and the faster hands. So, I\u2019m going to be working angles.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n\n
