Mike Tyson is ready to break records.

The former heavyweight champ is ready to say yes to a fight with YouTube sensation Jake Paul and predicted it could make $80 million.

The heavyweight legend and the social media star have been linked with a mega-bout in the past. Tyson revealed he would agree to fight Paul and urged Jake Paul to come to terms.

He said on his podcast:

“Hell yeah [I’d do it], only to break the record.

“Jake Paul believe it not is more profitable than the champs, this guy probably brings about 80million people to the table.

“Let’s do it Jakey, God wouldn’t that be cool.”

Tyson  came out of retirement for a sensational exhibition fight against Roy Jones Jr, 53, which ended in a draw.

There’s no doubt interest in Jake Paul getting knocked out by Tyson would smash PPV records. Let’s hope this comes to fruition.
