"Yes. They would be my opponents. They would fight me. This would bring in a lot of cash.

Since Tyson's appearance on Iron Mike’s podcast "Hot Boxin" last year, Jake and Tyson have been friends.
Jake was even called the GOAT by the boxing legend because he shared the same birthday as Muhammad Ali and Tyson's legendary boxing coach Cus D’Amato.
