00:00Welcome to TMZ Sports, I'm Mike Babcock with my man, as always, Mojo Butadi.

00:10Mojo, we're going to start with Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, who came face to face over

00:14the weekend in New York City for the very first time since their highly anticipated

00:20fight now going down November 15th at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas.

00:26Since the fight was rescheduled, Mojo, and things got a bit heated, things actually turned

00:34physical at one point.

00:36You can see here there was some pushing, Mojo.

00:39Look, this is what the fight fans want.

00:41They want to hear two guys and see two guys who don't like each other get in that ring

00:45and fight each other.

00:46And I think that's what we've got here with Mike and Jake.

00:49So we saw the part where it got physical, Mojo.

00:51There were also some verbal barbs traded.

00:54Mojo, take a look at this.

00:56Why at this stage would you step into the ring again?

01:00I don't know.

01:02That's a funny question.

01:04Because I can.

01:05Who else can do it but me?

01:08Just look at it.

01:11Who else is he going to fight to make this happen?

01:16Listen, you just have to listen to the fact.

01:20We got a YouTuber fighting the greatest fighter that ever lived.

01:27Jake, every time, every time these fighters sit across from me, and it's YouTuber, it's

01:34Disney Channel, all that s***, and then you end up on the f***ing canvas, and you'll see,

01:39it's going to be no different here, I promise you that.

01:41Yeah, I mean, you heard someone ask it, Mojo, why would you step in at this point?

01:45I think clearly that means why Mike Tyson, at 58 years old, is going to take a fight

01:50against a guy who is decades younger than him.

01:53Mike said, because I can, and he thinks he's going to win the fight.

01:55I mean, it's clear as day listening to him talk.

01:58If Jake Paul puts Mike Tyson on the canvas during this fight, a small piece of my childhood

02:03is going to die.

02:05A horrible death, Babcock.

02:07I'm just saying.

02:08Now, that's not to say that that isn't likely, but I'm just saying it's going to hurt nonetheless.

02:15This press conference was very interesting, to say the least, right?

02:20I mean, I wasn't necessarily expecting these guys to go out there and try and draw blood.

02:26I mean, the physicality here, it almost looked like a couple of buddies shoving each other,

02:31a little friendly trash talk, no harm, no foul, no one's going to go home and feel sideways

02:37or feel like they got to turn the other dude inside out after what happened at the press

02:41conference.

02:42And to be honest with you, I don't hate that.

02:45I mean, I know a lot of people have some doubts about this fight and how physical it's going

02:49to be.

02:50And if they're going to be taking it easy on each other, but at the same time too, you

02:53don't need to real life friends trying to put on the show for the cameras, because let's

02:58be real.

02:59A lot of fighters are doing that at this point, I would say most fighters are doing that at

03:04this point.

03:05It's obvious why they're doing it.

03:06It sells tickets.

03:07It builds all the hype and excitement.

03:08And that's what you want to see.

03:10You want a little bit of a teaser in that press conference before you see these guys

03:14getting to the ring for real.

03:17That being said, that has been everyone's hold up again.

03:22Everyone's concerned about how this fight is going to go off.

03:24It was already rescheduled once for Mike Tyson's health issues.

03:28A lot of people are saying it's possible for this to happen again.

03:33I mean, there are some people very close to Mike Tyson, friends of his real life, friends

03:38of his that are advising him not to go through with this, to have your fun with the hype

03:43and the buildup and then to pull out at the last second.

03:46But either way, man, I guess we're going to see.

03:50I would love to see these guys go at it 110%.

03:55Even with the age difference, I mean, you're talking about a huge experience different

04:00as well.

04:01And you can't ever count out Iron Mike.

04:03That's for damn sure.

04:04So I don't know, Babcock, I guess we'll see.

04:13We'll see.
