It seems absolutely everyone has an opinion on the recently announced Mike Tyson Vs. Jake Paul fight. And, it’s fair to say, most folks are not very pleased about this one – a fight that will see a 58 year old, sometimes wheelchair-using (for sciatica) weed-smoking former great going up against a 27 year old YouTuber who has still to convince many people that he can actually fight.
Eddie Hearn feels disillusioned about the news of the upcoming exhibition fight between the retired 58-year-old former unified heavyweight champion Mike Tyson and the YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul on July 20th on Netflix at the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Picture the scene from a few years ago: Mike Tyson, once the terror of the heavyweight division, found Jake Paul’s boxing display so unbearable that he bailed and ran off on a sparring session faster than a first-round knockout.
It has been confirmed by numerous news outlets how Mike Tyson and Jake Paul will fight at The AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas on July 20th – the fight to be streamed live on Netflix.
So, where were you when it happened?
It was, as surely all fight fans who were old enough to have been aware of the fight at the time know, 34 years ago today when massive, 42/1 underdog James “Buster” Douglas shocked the entire world by knocking out a seemingly invincible “Iron” Mike Tyson.
Last week, a story began circulating that said heavyweight legend Mike Tyson was in talks regarding a possible fight with MMA great Fedor Emelianenko, the boxing exhibition bout to take place later this year in Saudi Arabia.
There might be a chance former heavyweight king Mike Tyson gets a share of the vast Saudi money that fighters are currently picking up.
It’s possible that Mike Tyson reached his peak, in terms of him being an unstoppable force of destruction, an unstoppable, almost unhittable punching machine, when he first won a world title.
Former heavyweight king Mike Tyson has had some quite sensational things to say about his ring career, about his former promoter Don King, and about rigged fights – these fights being his own.
