Paul decided to play with the hatred he grew up with.
A YouTuber-turned-boxer shared a post about a 392-year-old shark found in the Arctic Ocean.
“The next challenger has been found. Let’s get it going,” Paul rolled his eyes at X.
Paul also fought UFC fighter Anderson Silva two years ago. Paul was 25, and Silva was 47 at the time.
Despite the speculation, Paul’s Valuable Promotions has dismissed all rumors that Tyson’s fight has been disrupted in any way.

PAUL-TYSON’S RING DAUGHTER SHARES HOW FANS THINK SHE IS PART OF THE ‘RIGHT’ AFTER BEAT MIKE TYSON.
“Regarding this fight specifically, I will say the following: It was approved by the athletics commission. Our partner was Netflix, which is the largest media company in America and a public organization. There was paid sports betting at the event,” said founder Nakisa Bidarian.
“So, if you were to rig a competition like that, it’s a federal crime. And me, Jake Paul, Mike Tyson, the executives of Netflix will all be arrested. They’ll be putting their company at risk, and we’ll be putting people’s lives at risk to do that. It’s stupid that people even suggest that this was no other way than a professional fight …
“This was 100% true from start to finish,” he added. “It was very true that this boy had an injury, we took a five-month break to give him time to heal the injury so that he could perform at his best. If it was played on stage, why would we postpone it? We could have just moved on with the day: ‘Oh, you have an injury, you can’t collide, it will be okay.’ What are people talking about?”
