Michael Bisping: 'Pathetic' Jake Paul is 'just a tool bag'

AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas will host the Nov. 15th boxing match between former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson and social media influencer turned pugilist Jake Paul.

The two were originally scheduled to fight on July 20, but the bout was postponed due to Tyson suffering a medical issue.  On Sunday, Paul and Tyson appeared at a press conference in New York to promote the upcoming fight.  

Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping has criticized the matchup since it was made.  Tyson is 58-years old taking on Paul who is 27.

"We know the fight is a joke.  Let's be honest," Bisping said on his YouTube channel while watching the press conference live.  "Let's see if he can get us anymore excited about this absolutely sh*t show, this farce of a fight."

When Paul was boo'ed by the New York crowd, he insulted the city but also discredited the matchup with Tyson at the same time.

"Shut the f**k up New York.  Boo yourself," Paul said at the press conference.  "New York, you're just like Mike Tyson, you were good 20 years ago."

Paul's insult about "The Big Apple," and to Tyson, legitimized Bisping's criticism of the matchup.  

"Jake, I hate to point out the obvious, that makes you look pathetic.  You just admitted that you're going up against an old man," Bisping said.  "Jake Paul, he's a total, he's just a tool bag."

"It's nice to see that he's finally getting boo'd and the kind of response that he deserves...  Finally, for once, an educated crowd."

"This is Grade A bullish*t," Bisping continued.  "He picks these opponents that are, in this case he's 58, or they are way past their sell by date, or they're smaller than you.  Fighting is about challenging yourself."

Bisping went on to trash Paul more than he already had.  "You are a joke.  You are a disgrace to the combat world.  You're a wannabe.  You're a fake.  Challenge yourself you pathetic man, you pathetic individual," Bisping said.
