Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, 58, is scheduled to fight YouTube star Jake Paul, 27, in Arlington, Texas, on Friday, November 15th, with live streaming and coverage on Netflix at pm ET. It starts at 8 o'clock.
This contest is both highly anticipated and highly criticized. While Tyson, one of the greatest boxers of all time, is long past his graying and beard years, Paul is a relative novice, and his 10-1 record comes mostly against other novices. .
The question is which is the bigger handicap: Tyson's age or Paul's inexperience. Jake's younger brother Logan fought in an exhibition match in 2021 against boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, one of the greatest fighters of all time. Although Mayweather had a significant height and weight disadvantage, he was rated as an easy opponent for Logan Paul. However, Paul won praise for staying close to the retired champion and achieving the feat in terms of pure physical strength.
The training plans Tyson posted on social media are impressive, and Tyson, who was known for his lightning-fast footwork and devastating uppercuts in his younger days, has shown flashes of the same speed. Jake Paul also posted a video of his grueling, award-worthy training regimen. rocky movie.
However, there are concerns about Tyson's health. Tyson fight postponed from July to November suffered Medical emergency on board a plane. It was later discovered that he had a stomach ulcer. The disease caused him to lose weight and slow him down, but he is said to be back in fighting shape after a few months.
Both fighters can be expected to put on a show, but if either fighter looks truly tired or confused, they're likely to fall short of landing a knockout blow. Both men are also supporters of President-elect Donald Trump.
