    Jake Paul wants to sweeten the pot with Mike Tyson for their upcoming fight.

    Tyson and Paul are set to box on Netflix on Nov. 15 after their fight, originally scheduled for this past July, was postponed when Tyson had a health scare on a flight .

    In a video on TikTok this week, Paul offered Tyson an extra $5 million — with strings attached.

    “Mikey Mikey, if you can last more than four rounds with me, I’ll give you an extra $5 million,” said Paul, who has been wearing a fat suit in his fight promotion videos for the past several weeks.

    “But if you don’t, then you have to get a tattoo that says, ‘I love Jake Paul.'”

    Tyson has yet to respond to the challenge and a rep for the 58-year-old fighter did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Post.

    “I don’t think he [Paul] can hurt me,” he said.

    Tyson added, “This is all I started fighting for: to get all this f–king status. I’m going to be chasing it for the rest of my life, I know that. I’m never going to get what I want, because I’m one of those gluttons for pain. I can never get enough.”

    In an interview with The Post in June, Paul explained his rationale for taking the fight.

    “I just want to take a risk,” Paul said at the time. “I think I am crazy for this; I definitely am because I don’t think anyone would take the risk in this position, but that’s just what makes me different. I’m not slowing down for anyone and I want to stay active in the gym.

    “He’s Mike Tyson at the end of the day. He has lethal knockout power and is very, very experienced. I think it is going to be a brawl regardless.”

    Tyson can beat him bad 1st round only. He'll tire out anymore, as would anyone that age that smokes pot. Wouldn't ever bet or watch. They are telling you! It's fixed, and it is.
