Jake Paul refusing to copy Mike Tyson tactic ahead of controversial boxing fight - 'I'm normal'

Jake Paul has revealed he won't be copying Mike Tyson's sex ban as the two men prepare to fight later this year.

Netflix confirmed back in March that the duo would be facing each other and, since then, it's also been announced the bout will be a professional fight - rather than an exhibition.

Tyson recently revealed that he wouldn't be having sex or smoking cannabis prior to the fight as he looks to come out on top.

At the end of April, he said: "Right now, I’m living my life disciplined: it’s been six weeks that I haven’t gotten high or had sex.

“I haven’t done that since I was a little kid. I hate not being able to smoke.

"But I’m doing it like I love it; I hate not being able to sleep with my wife but I'm doing it like I love it."

Yet Paul won't be following suit, insisting he's 'normal'.

The former YouTuber, who is dating Dutch speedskater Jutta Leerdam, said on his podcast: "If I didn't have sex for like… if I restrain myself for like two weeks I start having wet dreams because my body's like, 'Get this out!'

"It's not weird, it just means that I'm normal."

"But yeah it makes your legs weak.

"For the viewers, that's why it's bad, it makes your legs weak."

Meanwhile, Deontay Wilder has opened up on the fight between Tyson and Paul that has divided the boxing world.

And the Bronze Bomber has admitted he's worried Tyson could be placed into a coma once the battle is done.

He told Sportsbook Review: "I think it's bad the commission has licensed Mike Tyson because he hasn't been active in 20 years, so they should not just licence him because of who he is, that's how people get hurt, god forbid he gets hurt.,

"They may say they've done tests and all that, ok, but as long as you're willing to suffer the consequences if something bad goes wrong.

"His power may not have left completely but you still need to set it up, your stamina needs to be a certain way, or it's going to look like a clown show.

"I don't want to see it to be honest. I don't want to see one of my legends fight a YouTuber.

"If he goes in there and he knocks Mike out, that's going to tarnish the reputation of Mike. I don't want the last thing I remember of him is him getting knocked out by a YouTuber.

"The last thing you do, that's what people remember you by."
