JAKE PAUL'S sparring partner has ruled it out between Mike Tyson and the YouTuber star.
Tyson and Paul both confirmed their desire to face each other, despite their 30-YEAR-old age differences.
Anthony Taylor, Paul's former sparring partner, cautioned that the boxing stars were too friendly to each other to fight.
Taylor, 33, said to MyBettingSites that he doesn't see Jake Paul or Mike Tyson fighting because they are very close friends.
"They have too many mutual respect among them to get involved in a fight.
"Maybe I'm wrong, they might be fighting, but I don't see Mike and Jake going in there anytime soon. I would be shocked."
