"Hey, this seems like it's going to be pretty fun," Tyson said during the press conference for the fight in New York.
"Maybe we'll do it again too."
Paul also shared that Tyson has been eying a massive fight.
"He was game," he said when asked about the build-up of the showdown.
"I think he's always wanted to do this. This has been a long time coming. We've been calling each other out for years and we finally got to make it happen on Netflix, the biggest platform in the world, and things just keep on getting bigger and better."
It will be fun for spectators as the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations sanctioned the bout as a professional fight.
They will slug it out on eight 2-minute rounds using 14-ounce gloves.
Unlike with other opponents, the mood in Jake Paul's presser with Mike Tyson was festive.
The two fighters are showing respect for each other.
Paul went on to say that he is scared of Tyson, who has said in the past months that he is worried about what he might do with his upcoming opponent.
His camp released a series of videos featuring him at training, showing he still got it.
"I'm a natural born heavyweight. This is what I was born to do, to move up into this weight class," Paul said.
"I'm going to show Mike who has more power because he's underestimating me. I think everyone else is underestimating me and I believe that I hit harder. I know it's going to be tough. I know I'm going to have to fight through adversity. I know I might even go to the canvas. I'm scared, don't get me wrong, but it's not about the fear stopping me. It's about going into it, even though I am scared. That's what true bravery is."
