Jake Paul exposed for 'lying' about Mike Tyson fight as bout rearranged
Jake Paul was hooked up to a lie detector by his brother Logan and asked whether he truly believes he will win his rescheduled fight against Mike Tyson.
Jake Paul has been exposed for 'lying' after he assured his brother that he'd triumph over Mike Tyson in their postponed bout. The much-anticipated showdown between Paul and Tyson, originally set for next month in Texas, has been put back by four months following a health scare for the boxing icon.

The pair are now scheduled to square off on November 15 at the AT&T Stadium, with Tyson approaching his 58th birthday. In a recent stunt, Paul was hooked up to a polygraph while his brother Logan, who has transitioned from boxing to WWE stardom, conducted an interrogation.
Paul faced questions about his boxing career. He confidently asserted he could outbox Logan (truth), denied any use of performance enhancers (truth), and dismissed the idea that Tyson's age would influence the fight's outcome (truth).
However, when pressed on whether he genuinely believes he'll defeat Mike Tyson, Paul confidently responded: "Yeah". Yet, the lie detector indicated deception, prompting Paul to admit: "I'm nervous, I think I'm... it's going to be tough, it's going to be tough."
He quickly shifted the focus to promote his new deodorant line, W. Rumours are also swirling that Paul may enter the ring with Mike Perry on the initial July 20 date, though confirmation is pending. Paul stirred the pot on social media last night, tweeting: "I am fighting Mike Tyson on Netflix and I will get the W", amidst speculation about his upcoming opponent.
Tyson had a health scare whilst on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles last month, causing fears that his bout may have been cancelled. However, the former undisputed heavyweight world champion reassured fans he would be fighting fit by November.
"Although we had to postpone the fight, I will resume training shortly. I am thankful to the medical staff that treated me and to MVP, Netflix, and AT&T Stadium for working diligently to find the best reschedule date for all parties," he proclaimed. "While we have a new date, the result will be the same no matter when we fight. Jake Paul is getting knocked out. On Friday, November 15, watch this in-person at ATandT Stadium or live on Netflix."
