Mike Tyson has sent an ominous message to Jake Paul after the YouTuber thrashed Mike Perry in the boxing ring this weekend.
Former UFC and bare-knuckle champ Perry was blitzed after just 40 seconds in the brutal and highly-anticipated clash at the Amalie Arena in Tampa.
He held on until the sixth round before his defeat at the hands of Paul, 27, who claims his fourth win in a row – and now a message sent by boxing champion Tyson has set tongues wagging.

It ground plans to a halt as ex-UFC star Mike Perry stepped in to face the YouTuber instead as a new date has seemingly already been set for the match.
“Mike Tyson, you’re next big boy,” Paul said in the wake of his win. “Sign the contract, 15 November on Netflix. 100 per cent, it’s happening.
“He’s training and looking crazier than ever, Netflix, I’ll prove everybody wrong. Everybody said I was making a mistake with this fight [against Perry], but I take risks.”

And having watched Paul and Perry in action, Tyson soon sent an ominous message to Jake Paul in the form of a video shared to his social media pages.
Before that video, he said: “[The] countdown begins. 118 days -16 weeks and 6 days- 17 weekends – 2,832 hours – 169,920 minutes – 10,195,200 seconds. [The] clock starts now. #TysonPaul #TheClockIsTicking #JakesWake.”
The exhibition between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson has been rescheduled for Friday, November 15, and will take place at the same stadium in Arlington, Texas.
