The highly-anticipated Jake Paul versus Mike Tyson fight is just weeks away after a lengthy postponement. The YouTuber-turned-boxer will face off against the former heavyweight champion at AT&T Stadium in Dallas on Nov. 15 in a fight that will be broadcast on Netflix. Originally scheduled for July 20, the fight had to be postponed when Tyson had a medical scare about seven weeks before the original date. Paul is the betting favorite with a record of 10-1 and seven knockouts, most recently defeating Mike Perry in July. Meanwhile, Tyson has not fought professionally since 2005, with his last appearance in the ring being an exhibition against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020. They both were on the same card that night.
In a recent turn of events, Paul offered Tyson a $5 million wager, challenging him to last more than four rounds if he could. If Tyson could not last, he would have to get a tattoo saying “I love Jake Paul.” Tyson, however, suggested that the offer should be increased to $20 million. He expressed his strategy of aiming to catch Paul in the first couple of rounds since he does not expect him to come at him head-on. At a press conference sponsored by energy product LF*GO, Tyson took a subtle dig at Paul by stating that younger age does not necessarily equate to better performance, especially since Paul is 31 years younger than Tyson. Despite this, Tyson assured that he is ready for the upcoming fight.
The fight between Paul and Tyson was announced in March, just after Paul’s first-round knockout against Ryan Bourland in Puerto Rico, where Paul resides. The announcement sparked excitement among fans and has continued to generate interest and speculation leading up to the match. Hulk Hogan, a wrestling legend, expressed concerns for Tyson’s safety ahead of the fight. With Paul being the favored contender, anticipation is high as the two competitors prepare to face each other in the ring. The event, set to take place at AT&T Stadium, promises to be an electrifying showdown between the popular YouTube star and the legendary heavyweight boxer.
