Mike Tyson Explains Why He's Really Fighting Jake Paul

Mike Tyson and Jake Paul were supposed to get in the ring this weekend.

However, the fight got pushed back to November after the former heavyweight champ had a health scare.

If you are wondering why Tyson, at 58, wants to fight a YouTuber turned part-time boxer, here's the answer.

 "Can I be honest? I don’t think he can hurt me," Mike told Esquire.  "I’m a glory junkie. I love people thinking about me all day. I’d rather live a short life of glory than a long life of obscurity. It’s just who I am.

Do you think Paul, who's 9-1 as a pro, can hurt Tyson? He has previously suggested he'd make Mike his girlfriend.
