Boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul rescheduled

By

The original bout between the former world heavyweight champion and YouTuber-turned-boxer had been set to take place on July 20.

Tyson reportedly became unwell while aboard a flight from Miami to Los Angeles during May and needed medical assistance.

Organisers of the event at the 80,000-capacity stadium, which is home to the Dallas Cowboys, have now confirmed the new date, with previously purchased tickets to be honoured or a refund offered until July 8.

Most Valuable Promotions, who are staging the event alongside Netflix, said in a statement: “The highly anticipated heavyweight fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson and the most anticipated rematch in women’s boxing history, Katie Taylor v Amanda Serrano, is rescheduled for Friday November 15 2024 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.”

MVP co-founder Nakisa Bidarian added: “Our team has worked diligently with all parties involved to reschedule this monumental fight to a date that ensures both Jake Paul and Mike Tyson are fully prepared, with equal training time, as well as allowing us to keep the event at AT&T stadium in the midst of the Cowboys season.

“Paul v Tyson is the most cross-generational sporting event in history, and we are committed to providing fans worldwide with this unforgettable night of boxing, live globally on Netflix.

“We look forward to seeing everyone on Friday November 15 for a showdown that will be talked about for generations to come.”

Paul is 30 years Tyson’s junior and has won nine out of 10 fights, which have mostly been against ex-UFC fighters, with his only loss against Love Island star Tommy Fury.

Tyson – whose professional career ended in 2005 and has not competed since an exhibition match four years ago – is confident he will return to the ring in good shape. While we have a new date, the result will be the same no matter when we fight – Jake Paul is getting knocked out

MIKE TYSON

“Although we had to postpone the fight, I will resume training shortly,” said the former world heavyweight champion, who will have turned 58 by the time he faces Paul.  I am thankful to the medical staff that treated me and to MVP, Netflix and AT&T Stadium for working diligently to find the best reschedule date for all parties.

“While we have a new date, the result will be the same no matter when we fight – Jake Paul is getting  by the knocked out.”

Mike Tyson gives health update after mid-flight medical scare ahead of Jake Paul fight

By

The 57-year-old was reportedly flying from Miami to Los Angeles when he became unwell.

Mike Tyson is “doing great” after an apparent medical scare while aboard a flight on Sunday, representatives for the former world heavyweight champion have said.

According to reports, the 57-year-old was flying from Miami to Los Angeles when he became unwell and appeals were made to find passengers with medical experience to provide assistance.

Paramedics then came on board after the plane landed, delaying passengers from disembarking for around 25 minutes.

Tyson’s representatives told the New York Post in an email: “Thankfully Mr Tyson is doing great.

“He became nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare up 30 minutes before landing. He is appreciative to the medical staff that were there to help him.”

Mike Tyson, boxing’s bad boy: Stars who can’t stand him

By

The 58-year-old has lived a very controversial life despite his huge fan base

Iron Mike Tyson is one of the biggest names to ever hit boxing, with those who don’t even watch the sport fearing the reputation of his name. Perhaps only Muhammad Ali exceeds him.

But many stars who do know him don’t actually like him, so who are they and do they have a reason?

It comes after the 58-year-old allegedly told Mayweather to abduct and abuse a woman whilst Mayweather responded by arranging a police raid on Tyson’s house. As a result, the pair no longer talk.

 

It’s worth nothing there’s not much evidence for the above, and Tyson did slam Mayweather for claiming to be the best ever.

Michael Jordan

The most famous basketballer of all-time might have found himself in a punch-up with Mike Tyson if he played his cars slightly more differently back in 1988 when the drunk boxer started to allege Jordan was sleeping with his first wife, Robin Givens.

There isn’t a clear story on his except the 5ft 10in Tyson freaked out the 6ft 6in Jordan, but neither athlete has actually spoken about it, which is interesting considering Jordan’s reputation for trash-talk.

 

Don King

King worked with Mike Tyson for so many years but now their relationship has soured and withered into a mess of what it once was as the boxing promoter was regularly in court with his client in the 1990s as Tyson accused him of mismanagement and defrauding him.

King, who isn’t afraid to sue, has remained pretty quiet on Tyson’s words prior to the case being settled in 2004. They last publicly met in 2018 and King attempted to be civil with Tyson at a Boxing Hall of Fame event, but the ex-WBC champion decided to throw water in his face instead showing that he hasn’t warmed with time.

Mike Tyson comes clean for the first time after acknowledging his true condition to fight Jake Paul: “My body is st”

By

Iron Mike is preparing for his first professional fight in almost 20 years when he faces Jake Paul on July 20

  1. The days continue to tick down until Iron MIke Tyson  makes his eagerly anticipated, but controversial, return to the boxing ring to face the even more controversial Jake Paul on July 20, but the 58-year-old has made an emotional admission about the passing of time on the body by saying it’s not what it was.

Tyson gained a reputation for being a quick, ducking, bobbing and weaving fighter throughout his professional career with exceptional knockout power to boot meaning that he had a meteoric rise to the top of the game and now sits at the same table as legends such as Muhammad Ali or Joe Frazier.

So how will he perform when he faces Paul, who is an up and coming boxer at the start of his own professional journey? Tyson’s likely not expecting a 1990s-style performance now just seven years away from being a legal senior.

“My body is s**t right now. I am sore,’ Tyson said to media. But when he was asked if it was just gamesmanship and deception, he replied: “I wish.”

Is Tyson worried about the fight?

There has been a wave of dialogue around the fight, which will be aired by Netflix on July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys as many are worried about the potential impact on Tyson.

Now aged 58, he’s susceptible to a series of serious health conditions such as heart issues, internal bleeding of the brain and problems such as dementia or Alzheimer’s if he takes too much punishment inside the boxing ring.

Names such as Derek Chisora and Deontay Wilder, the latter being the ex-WBC champion himself, have slammed the fight as farcical and even the sanctioning body has required shorter rounds, fewer rounds and heavier gloves to protect the fighters.

This feels like it’s going to be pretty fun so maybe we’ll do it again. Let me take care of Jake first. We’re friends, there’s no doubt. But in the ring, we’re not going to be friends.

“I really like Jake but he’s going to have to fight like his life is on the line because it is.”
