Jake Paul has been gearing up to fight Mike Tyson for months, and he’s had the support — and concern — from his girlfriend, Jutta Leerdam. During an episode of the Netflix series Countdown: Paul vs. Tyson, Jutta admitted that she was “a little scared” about her boyfriend going head to head with the famous “Iron Mike.”
“I’m a little scared, but I’m also an athlete and I’m competitive,” Jutta acknowledged, before jokingly adding, “So, he has to win. I think, ‘Hey, stay away from my boyfriend.’ But it’s also the sport, so I understand that. I’m still sitting here with mixed feelings.”

Like her boyfriend, Jutta is an athlete. She has competed in international speed skating events, including the 2017 World Junior Championships in Finland, the 2018 Championships in Salt Lake City, Utah, and the 2022 World Sprint Championships.
