The fight with the boxing legend is scheduled for November 15
Boxing legend Mike Tyson and his future opponent, YouTube blogger and boxer Jake Paul had a small scuffle during a duel of glances.
58-year-old “Iron Mike” jokingly pushed Jake in the chest twice, Paul did not remain in debt and reciprocated the veteran. The confrontation did not continue – the rivals remained to pose for the cameras.
Let us recall that Mike vs. Paul’s fight was initially scheduled for July 20, but due to Tyson’s health problems, it was postponed to November 15.
Let us recall that Mike felt unwell during the flight from Miami to Los Angeles. The reason for this was nausea and dizziness due to an ulcer flare-up 30 minutes before landing.
The event was scheduled to take place at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, USA. Tyson was eventually replaced for the fight on July 20 by Mike Perry, a former well-known UFC fighter who later switched to bare-knuckle fighting. Jake won a convincing TKO victory.
The new date for the Tyson vs. Paul fight has been set for November 15. The event is planned for the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, USA. The undercard of the fight will feature a rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano.
Iron Mike turned 58 on June 30. In November 2020, Tyson had an exhibition fight with former world champion in five weight categories Roy Jones. The fight ended in a draw. On the undercard of the event, Jake Paul knocked out Nate Robinson.
Tyson’s last professional fight was in 2005. Mike lost by technical knockout in the sixth round to Irishman Kevin McBride.
