Model turned ‘Barnsley Basher’ says she’d KO Jake Paul as Mike Tyson would ‘homicide’ her

A woman who beats up blokes from her living room gave an unusual take on the Mike Tyson versus Jake Paul fight.

Sophie Larissa Weiss is a former glamour model who now gets down and dirty from her Yorkshire gaff where clients are greeted by boxing gloves and wrestling mats.

The Yorkshire lass is famous for roughing up lads from her pad after discovering martial arts when her bodybuilding father encouraged her to embrace fitness.

Bizarrely, men now travel as far as Madrid to see her, and fork out £500 an hour for Sophie to dominate them using her boxing, wrestling and BJJ moves.

And at the Daily Star we ask the most important questions – and so gave her her a would you rather scenario involving Tyson and Paul.

“Who would I rather bash up in Barnsley?” she laughed. “Obviously it’s going to be Jake Paul. I think we all would choose that option than to get brutally murdered by Mike Tyson.”

Tyson and Paul will slug it out at the AT&T Stadium in front of 80,000 fans in Texas next Friday, November 15, and it will be broadcast on Netflix.

In an actual world title fight, Katie Taylor will rematch Amanda Serrano on the undercard after the Irish legend won the first bout in a historic clash in Madison Square Garden in 2022.

But as for the main event, Sophie believes there will be one clear winner, and it is not the bookies favourite.

She told us: “I think Mike Tyson will win. He has too much muscle memory and a lot of years of hard work. His body has been through it a thousand times and Jake Paul started off as a Disney boy. He hasn’t got the amount of experience Mike has got and I’d be very surprised if Mike loses.

“I think it is amazing for Jake Paul and his boxing career and fair play to him getting to fight a boxing legend.”

She continued: “People keep underestimating Mike due to his age and saying his stamina won’t be as good as Jake Paul’s but I think it is utter bulls***.

“My dad is proof you can be more fit in your 60s – he is 64 this year and he’s looking better than the 20-year-olds in the gym and working harder than them.

“Age is just a number and it is all about that killer mindset and Mike has that animal in him.”

Sophie’s dad, Terry Weiss, is a world champion bodybuilder and he trains relentlessly in the gym with his daughter.

He encouraged her to turn her life around after she was suffering from an eating disorder before the shredded pair recreated the same pose 25 years apart.
