Ahead of their much anticipated bout, former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson believes over the years Jake Paul has grown significantly as a boxer.
Tyson will square off against famous YouTuber Paul in one of the biggest bouts in boxing.
The bout will take place inside the AT&T Stadium in Texas, United States at 2am (Nigerian time/WAT) on Saturday, November 16, 2024.
Originally, the bout was scheduled to take place on July 20, but was postponed due to Tyson suffering an ulcer flare-up aboard a plane.
Tyson, who retired in 2005 has dealt with health issues over the years, but eturns to the ring to attempt to silence the loudmouthed Paul.
“He’s (Paul) grown significantly as a boxer over the years, so it will be a lot of fun to see what the will and ambition of a ‘kid’ can do with the experience and aptitude of a GOAT,” Tyson said.
“It’s a full circle moment that will be beyond thrilling to watch; as I started him on his boxing journey on the undercard of my fight with Roy Jones and now I plan to finish him.”
Paul was 1-0 before fighting on the undercard of Tyson’s exhibition fight against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020.
Since then, he has defeated several MMA fighters and decent boxing veterans. On a four-fight win streak, Paul looks to make a statement while making millions along the way.
The 27-year-old s a power puncher but can also fight in and out of the distance. Against Tommy Fury, he landed 49 of 157 shots, knocking down the Love Island star in a loss.
