Jake Paul's Girlfriend, Jutta Leerdam, Worried Mike Tyson Will Knock Him Out

Jutta Leerdam the world's hottest speed skater.

After 10 professional fights, Jake Paul is slated to fight boxing legend Mike Tyson in the biggest match of his career. But for all of his brashness and confidence, members of Paul's inner circle appear to be seriously concerned for his safety.

On the latest episode of the BS with Jake Paul podcast, Paul's girlfriend Jutta Leerdam asked - and was maybe even worried - what would happen if Tyson were to knock him out in the fight. 

"But what if he knocks you out? Is that your last fight? I just want to get the scenarios," Leerdam said, via The Sun. When Paul asked her if she'd cry if that happened, Leerdam said, "Definitely."

Paul didn't seem nearly as concerned though. He expressed absolute confidence that he'll be fine and said that it wasn't even worth talking about because he's "too sharp and fast" for the former heavyweight champion to knock out.

"I’m too sharp and fast [for Tyson]," Paul said. "Just being active and being the man in the arena for years and years now. Like I don’t even get nervous. The nerves are not even there anymore."

Paul's bravado has certainly helped him over his four years as a professional boxer. But six of his wins have come from guys with an MMA rather than a boxing background, and his two most recent wins come from professional boxers that are so low on the totem pole that they don't even have their own Wikipedia pages. 

His one bout against a bonafide star of a boxer ended in a split decision loss to Tommy Fury. 

Tyson, though 57 years of age, represents a wildly different challenge from the men that Paul has faced in the past. He's one of the best knockout artists in combat sports history and was trained by the best of the best. 

However, Father Time is undefeated and that may prove to be the only edge Paul really needs.

Should Paul's loved ones be worried for his safety against Tyson?
