Texas: In a matchup that has captured the attention of fans worldwide, boxing icon Mike Tyson will face YouTube star-turned-boxer Jake Paul in a highly anticipated bout. The event, marks Tyson’s first professional fight in nearly two decades.

The unusual matchup, rooted in an unlikely friendship, has been promoted with growing friction between the two fighters. At recent promotional events, Jake Paul was met with boos, which he brushed off by acknowledging Tyson’s enduring fanbase.

"I’m the new kid on the block, the disrupter, the loud mouth. Naturally, people want to root against me, and that’s great for the sport of boxing,” Paul expressed.

Tyson, the former undisputed heavyweight champion, last fought professionally in 2005 before returning to the ring for an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020. After overcoming a health setback from a stomach ulcer, the 58-year-old shed 26 pounds, and was cleared by doctors to fight weeks ago.

Despite concerns about his age and physical condition, Tyson is eager for the challenge. “I'm having a good time in my life, and I don't have much time left, so I'm making the best of it," he said.

The bout will consist of eight rounds of two minutes each and both fighters will wear heavier gloves to educe the impact of punches.
