Mike Tyson’s highly anticipated return to the ring against social media star Jake Paul has been rescheduled for November 15, after a setback due to a health issue. The bout, which was originally set for July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, will now take place later this year and will be streamed on Netflix.
Tyson, 57, had to postpone the fight after suffering an ulcer flareup on a flight in May that required medical attention. However, the boxing legend is determined to make a comeback and is confident in his abilities to take down his much younger opponent.
Known as “Iron Mike,” Tyson is considered one of the greatest boxers of all time, with an impressive record of 50-6 and 44 knockouts in his career. Despite not having fought professionally since 2005, Tyson is eager to prove that he still has what it takes to compete at the highest level.
On the other hand, Jake Paul, 27, has quickly risen to fame as a social media star turned professional boxer, with a record of 9-1. He has defeated notable opponents such as former MMA stars Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley, but suffered a loss to Tommy Fury.
With the age gap between the two fighters, Paul remains confident in his abilities to take down the boxing legend. However, Tyson is unfazed by the challenge and has vowed to knock out Paul when they finally step into the ring.
Fans are eagerly anticipating this showdown between the seasoned veteran and the up-and-coming star, as both fighters look to prove themselves in what is sure to be an exciting and highly anticipated event.
