Jake Paul Defeats Mike Tyson Boxing Fan’s Worst Dream

Jake Paul beats Mike Tyson is a nightmare for world boxing fans. At first some people thought this was just a joke, others thought it was a publicity stunt, but now we have come to the reality that this is going to happen, as YouTuber turned boxer, Jake Paul, will face former two-time world heavyweight champion, Mike Tyson, on Friday evening November 15th.

The location of the highly anticipated game is AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and it will be broadcast live on Netflix. For the record, the Paul vs Tyson match is not an exhibition. This is a professional boxing match that has been officially sanctioned by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.

Presence Jake Paul in this boxing match received mixed reactions from the boxing community. The upside is that his promotional company, Most Valuable Promotions, has provided a platform for up-and-coming boxers, but the downside is that Paul’s personal career has become something of a mockery in the sport.

In his first professional fight in January 2020, Paul scored a knockout over a YouTuber; then he went on to stop NBA basketball player Nate Robinson. In his next four fights, Paul collected wins against former MMA fighters who were old and past their prime.

After receiving criticism for not fighting opponents who are true boxers, Jake Paul signs a contract to face rookie boxer Tommy Fury. Paul scored a knockdown in the fight, but Fury’s jab and one-two punch combination helped him secure the win.

After losing to Fury, Paul returned to his old strategy as he defeated 38-year-old former MMA champion Nate Diaz. After defeating Diaz, Paul collected knockout wins over two unknown boxers, and in his most recent contest, he scored a knockout over bare-knuckle fighter Mike Perry.

Now, Jake Paul (10-1, 7 KOs) is on the verge of facing a boxer who is past his prime. With the fight date fast approaching, some fans are starting to ask the question, will 27 year old Jake Paul be able to knockout Mike Tyson?

Hailing from Brownsville, Brooklyn, New York, 20-year-old Mike Tyson made history in 1986 when he became the youngest boxer to win the world heavyweight championship. At the age of 21, Tyson collected all three championship belts and became the undisputed champion. With his explosive power and punching power, Mike Tyson dominated the heavyweight division for four years. After losing his first fight against Buster Douglas in February 1990, Mike Tyson was finally able to recover and become a two-time champion.

Mike Tyson is a legend in the sport of boxing, and comparing his resume to Jake Paul’s is ridiculous. However, in 2024, a match between Paul and Tyson ending in a Jake Paul knockout victory is realistic due to Tyson’s age and the way his career ended 19 years ago. In July 2004, Danny Williams knocked out Mike Tyson in the 4th round. Danny Williams went on to lose 7 of his last 9 fights. Eleven months later in his fight against Kevin McBride.
