If you were expecting fierce trash talk and utter chaos at the Jake Paul and Mike Tyson press conference … sorry, ’cause the boxing legend was as introverted as could be during the leadup to their big fight — forcing El Gallo to call him out for being “boring.”
The two pugilists took the stage just two days before their huge showdown at AT&T Stadium … and while Jake was ready to go to verbal war, his opponent was a man of few words when peppered with questions.
Mike made it clear he was done talking and ready to fight … and all he cared about was beating Jake.
A lone moment of passion came when a reporter asked what he would lose personally if he fell short against Jake … when Mike shut down all that talk — emphatically stating that’s not going to happen.
At one point, Jake was asked about Mike’s quiet demeanor … and he said he wasn’t a fan of how the former champion was acting.
“There’s a lot of s*** talk online saying you’re going to kill me, and just nothing in person,” Jake said. “It’s … I don’t know. It’s uh, pretty boring. Pretty f***ing boring.”

To try and salvage the night, Jake made it interesting by going up to every fighter on the card who predicted Mike would win on Friday … and placed individual wagers with each of them.
It wasn’t always so “boring” between the two … as Mike and Jake got in a bit of a shoving match when they came face to face in August.
It’s a safe bet the fans won’t be falling asleep come fight night … as both Jake and Mike have promised to come out on top.
Mike told “TMZ Live” earlier this week it’s the “biggest fight in the history of life” … and Jake promised to get the victory via knockout.
Just two more days …
