Mike Tyson is gearing up for his return to the boxing ring in a highly anticipated showdown with YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul at the AT&T Stadium in Texas. Originally scheduled for July 20, the fight was postponed due to Tyson’s health issues, but is now set for Friday, Nov. 15.
At age 58, Tyson will be stepping back into the ring for his first professional fight in nearly two decades, facing a much younger opponent in the 27-year-old Jake Paul. Paul, known as “The Problem Child,” has been making waves in the boxing world with a record of 10 wins out of 11 matches since his debut in 2020.
The main card of the event is set to begin at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT/5 p.m. PT, featuring not only the Tyson-Paul fight but also six other bouts, including three title fights. The match will be aired on Netflix, and despite being a professional bout, it will consist of eight rounds lasting two minutes each.
Tyson’s last competitive fight was in June 2005, while Paul’s most recent victory was in July against Mike Perry. Tyson boasts an impressive career record of 50-6 with 44 wins by knockout, whereas Paul holds a record of 10-1 with seven knockouts.
The fight promises to be a thrilling event, drawing attention from fans and critics alike. Will the seasoned veteran Tyson prevail, or will the young and ambitious Paul emerge victorious? Boxing enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the outcome of this historic match that transcends generational boundaries.
