Jake Paul has revealed that an ayahuasca ceremony in Costa Rica sparked his vision to fight Mike Tyson, leading to their upcoming Netflix boxing match.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer shared the extraordinary story of how the spiritual experience occurred roughly two-and-a-half years ago.
“I wanted to uncover things about myself,” Paul explained, describing how the ceremonial experience gave him a clear vision of stepping into the ring with the boxing legend.
The revelation comes as the two fighters prepare for their highly anticipated bout, which is set to take place next week.
During the ceremony, Paul experienced a vivid vision of himself fighting Tyson, describing it as if it “had already occurred or something in the future.”
The vision was remarkably detailed, with Paul seeing millions of children watching the fight through their televisions and devices.

He also witnessed what he called “the butterfly effect” of how the match would impact the sport of boxing.
“That’s the feeling it gave me,” Paul recalled of the spiritual experience, suggesting the vision felt distinctly prophetic.
The ayahuasca ceremony, known for inducing profound spiritual experiences, appeared to provide Paul with a clear glimpse of his future path.

Following his vision, Paul wasted no time in reaching out to Tyson directly.
The response from the boxing legend was overwhelmingly positive.
“He’s like, ‘Yeah, Jake, I love this idea. This is awesome man, this sounds great. We need to make this happen’,” Paul recounted.

Paul attributed this successful connection to spiritual openness, stating: “That’s the power of opening yourself to the energy of the universe, but also acting on those things.”
The conversation that took place nearly three years ago has now manifested into reality, with the two set to face each other in the ring.
The upcoming fight has faced scrutiny, particularly regarding Tyson’s age.
Paul recently addressed these concerns during an appearance on TODAY.

However, Paul remained steadfast in his decision to pursue the bout.
