Nearly 20 years after the end of his career, Mike Tyson returns to the ring. The 58-year-old former world heavyweight champion is preparing to face Jake Paul, an Internet star who has made a name for himself on YouTube in recent years.
Initially scheduled for July 20, the fight between the two men had to be postponed due to the state of health of the American legend who was suffering from an ulcer. The meeting is therefore rescheduled for November 15 in Texas, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, and will be broadcast live. With the time difference, you will have to stay up late into the night to see the two men in the ring.
“Although we had to postpone the fight, I will be back training soon. I thank the medical staff who took care of me (…) The result will be the same regardless of the date, I will knock out Jake Paul,” said Mike Tyson, quoted in a press release shortly after the postponement. “Iron Mike” has not fought for nineteen years and a defeat against the Irishman Kevin McBride.
The boxing fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul will take place on the night of Friday November 15 to Saturday November 16. The meeting will be followed on Netflix, from 2 a.m. French time.
