Coach Rafael Cordeiro confident Jake Paul will panic once he gets a taste of Mike Tyson's legendary power

Coach Rafael Cordeiro plans on pushing Jake Paul into panic mode when the YouTube star steps inside the ring with heavyweight legend ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson on July 20.

Emanating from the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium, ‘The Problem Child’ will seek his 10th career win inside the squared circle when he meets the “baddest man on the planet” live on Netflix. Preparing Tyson for the encounter is Cordeiro, the proprietor of Kings MMA in California. Before that, he made a name for himself in the MMA world as a Muay Thai coach at Chute Boxe.

“This fight won’t be a massacre, it’s going to be a very technical match, because we have a kid on the other side that can box and isn’t afraid,” Cordeiro told MMA Fighting. “Mike has such heavy hands, and it will be impossible not to touch Jake. Jake will feel Mike’s hands, there’s no other way, and that’s when we’ll have an idea on how the fight will go. It’s going to be interesting to see.”

Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson

As a professional boxer, Jake Paul is 9-1 with six of his victories coming by way of knockout.

By the time he steps inside the ring with Mike Tyson, the former unified heavyweight champion will be 58 years old — 31 years older than his opposition. Despite that, Cordeiro believes that Tyson’s iconic power is still there and is confident that Paul will panic once he gets a taste of it.

“Panic — he will panic,” Cordeiro said with a laugh. “That’s the goal. Our goal is to keep Jake in a panic the entire fight. Or for as long as he can take it.”

Rafael Cordeiro Commends Jake Paul’s boxing skills

No official announcement has been made, but according to Cordeiro, Paul vs. Tyson will be a professional boxing match. If that proves to be true, it will be Tyson’s first pro fight since suffering a loss to Kevin McBride in 2005.

Tyson has since stepped inside the ring, competing in an exhibition boxing match with fellow legend Roy Jones Jr. in November 2020. Before going eight rounds with RJJ, Tyson had done very little in the way of training, but, ‘Iron’ has stayed active in the gym ever since.

“Unlike the first camp, [Tyson] won’t be coming off 15 years away [from the ring],” Cordeiro said. “He’s been training ever since, and that makes all the difference. It’s going to be good. We still got four more months for the fight, so he will be ready.”

“There’s the age difference, and there’s the factor that [Paul] is competing more often, but he’s facing someone with enormous experience,” he continued. “Mike doesn’t train for some time, and when he returns, the explosiveness, the movement, it’s like he never stopped. More than who hits the hardest, it’s about the technique. Jake has good boxing. You can’t say otherwise. He’s winning the fights, and his loss is a split decision to a legit boxer, not a MMA champion, and that shows the kid knows how to box.”

The man tasked with getting Mike Tyson ready for his comeback has poured cold water on a potential fight between the former heavyweight king and MMA legend Wanderlei Silva – who he also trains.

Tyson announced he would be returning to the ring at 53 years old a few weeks ago. Since then he has been inundated with fight offers from pretty much everyone in the combat sports world. Long-time rival Evander Holyfield announced he would also return to fighting at 57 years old and seems the most likely option. However, Tyson does have other options with an array of MMA fighters offering to face him. Andrei Arlovski, Ken Shamrock and Tito Ortiz to name just a few.

Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship is desperately pursuing ‘Iron Mike’. BKFC boss Dave Feldman told MMA Fighting earlier this week that he would be offering Tyson in excess of $20 million and had hoped to match him with Silva, he said.

“I think a Wanderlei Silva, someone of that nature. No matter how old Silva gets, he’s dangerous, and I think that would be an intriguing matchup. Something like that, but I don’t actually have anything in mind right now.”

‘The Axe Murderer’ has since revealed to Sherdog that he has been offered $10 million to face Tyson – an offer he has since accepted.

“They offered me $10 million plus pay-per-view percentage and I accepted immediately. I hope Feldman can make it happen,” Silva said.

Mutual coach of both fighters Rafael Cordeiro had no idea a fight between two of his pupils was in the making. The Brazilian expressed his doubts the bout would happen due to the fact Tyson is fully focused on returning to the sport he made his name in, he said.

“I didn’t get any calls from Wand or Tyson, but as far as I know that fight won’t happen. Tyson is training to make a boxing fight — with gloves. It is hard to comment about rumors.”

The New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC) has fined three people following UFC 244 last week, per MMA Fighting.

Those being middleweight Kelvin Gastelum, his coach Rafael Cordeiro, and light heavyweight Corey Anderson. Gastelum was fined $1,000 for making contact with Cordeiro during his weigh-in. Also, Cordeiro himself has been fined $200.

Anderson was fined $10,000 for what the commission described as “unsportsmanlike and disorderly conduct” following his TKO victory over Johnny Walker in the featured preliminary bout. After his win, Anderson yelled at Walker before seemingly pushing the referee.

The NYSAC has suspended all those who have been fined indefinitely, until their fines have been paid in full. UFC 244 went down from Madison Square Garden in New York City. It was headlined by a Baddest Mother F*cker Championship fight between Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz.

Masvidal wound up winning the main event via TKO in the third round due to a Doctor Stoppage. As for the co-main event, Gastelum was defeated by Darren Till via split decision.

What do you think about the NYSAC fining Gastelum, Cordeiro, and Anderson?
