Mike Tyson is set to fight Jake Paul in a boxing match on Netflix, with a buildup that included Tyson slapping Paul during a faceoff. Tyson, a former undisputed world heavyweight champion known for brutal knockouts, has not fought since 2005 and is now 58 years old. Paul, a social media star turned boxer, has a 10-1 record and has defeated former UFC stars. The fight is fully sanctioned by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, with slight changes to the rules, including an eight-round fight with two-minute rounds and 14-ounce gloves. The event also includes other matchups on the card. The fight was originally scheduled for last summer but was postponed due to Tyson’s health issues.
Paul is confident in his ability to defeat Tyson and believes the fight will not go to a decision. He addresses critics who doubt his boxing career but is proud of his accomplishments in the sport. Tyson, on the other hand, is focused on the fight and is not considering the possibility of losing. The matchup between the two is considered one of the most bizarre in combat sports history. The fight is generating significant interest and intrigue due to the contrast in backgrounds and fighting styles between the two opponents.
