Iron Mike Tyson is set to make his stunning return to boxing this summer in a fight against The Problem Child, Jake Paul. The two fighters have been engaging in a war of words and posting training videos to intimidate each other in the lead-up to the highly anticipated bout. However, there is still much uncertainty surrounding the fight.
The rules, stipulations, and official designation of the fight have been a major topic of discussion. While some initially claimed it would be an official match, others have since stated it will be an exhibition. The legitimacy of the fight has also been called into question, with some professional fighters expressing disdain for a 27-year-old facing off against someone who is long-retired and 30 years his senior.
Despite the controversy, interest in the fight remains high, with fans eagerly awaiting the latest news, predictions, and odds for the upcoming showdown. Boxing legends like Roy Jones Jr. and Shane Mosley have weighed in with their predictions, offering contrasting views on the outcome of the fight.
However, before the fight can be officially confirmed, Tyson must undergo a series of tests to ensure he is fit to compete. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations has mandated that Tyson undergo an EEG and EKG exam due to his age, with the results determining his eligibility to fight.
As the countdown to the Tyson-Paul fight continues, fans are eagerly awaiting updates on the latest odds and details of the event, which is scheduled to take place on July 20, 2024, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The fight will be available to stream on Netflix, providing boxing enthusiasts with a front-row seat to this epic showdown.
