Before Jake Paul fights boxing, supporters’ health concerns are sparked by footage of Mike Tyson.
Besar Nimani is dead. German police initiated a manhunt for a former boxer who was shot and killed. The model who became unfaithful to “El Chapo” Guzman disputes being the mother of Canelo Alvarez’s child.
After footage of the former champion appeared online recently, some fans have been questioning whether Mike Tyson should be fighting at all. Tyson is making an incredible comeback to boxing at the age of 57 to take on Jake Paul.
On July 20, 2024, Tyson will make his comeback when he fights Paul at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The fight, which might be worth over $100 million, will take place in front of 80,000 spectators.
The former heavyweight champion last engaged in professional combat in 2005, and he hasn’t been in the ring since defeating Roy Jones Jr. at the Staples Center in November 2020.
Given that he is approaching his 60th birthday, it would not be shocking if he were somewhat overweight. After a video of Tyler at a UFC event surfaced on social media, some fans felt that he was not benefiting from his return to boxing.
The video, which looks to be from a few years ago, shows Tyler moving around the arena with the help of a person and a walking stick.
“Tyson has to retire forever before he gets gravely harmed,” one fan said on Reddit, while another commented, “Jake Paul is shameless… Mike Tyson used a cane to walk two years ago.”
Eddie Hearn, the promoter of Matchroom, is one of the most well-known figures who has spoken out against the fight going on: “I love boxing; therefore, I’m not the right person to ask, so it makes me really unhappy.”
“Mike Tyson will soon turn 60. I understand that a large number of people will watch. However, as an avid lover of fighting, I think it’s really unfortunate.”
In response, Tyler shared a video of himself in training, and it’s safe to say that after being tested, he looks good.
Jake Paul anticipating the fight with Mike Tyson
Paul, who defeated Ryan Bourland via knockout earlier in March, competed on the undercard of Tyson’s rematch with Jones Jr.And now that he’s a boxer, the American YouTuber is excited to fight “Iron Mike” after rising through the ranks.
He remarked, “It’s crazy to think that I went viral for knocking out Nate Robinson on Mike Tyson’s undercard in my second professional fight.”
Less than four years later, I’m going up against Tyler to see if I have what it takes to defeat one of the most infamous and iconic boxers in history.
