Mike Tyson and Jake Paul are set to face off in a boxing match that's got people talking. The fight will happen on November 15 at AT&T; Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and Netflix will broadcast ...
Tyson, known as "Iron Mike," is 58 years old and a former professional boxer. He'll step into the ring with Jake Paul, who started as a YouTuber and has now turned to boxing. The match was originally planned for July 2023 but had to be pushed back when Tyson had a health issue.
Tyson suffered an ulcer flare-up during a flight, which forced the postponement. Now that he's recovered, the fight is back on track.
Not everyone in the boxing world is happy about this match-up. Some people are worried about Tyson's age and whether he should be getting back in the ring at all.
While Tyson prepares for his fight with Paul, he's also been talking about other boxers. He's particularly impressed with David Benavidez, an undefeated boxer known as "The Mexican Monster."
Benavidez recently won the WBC interim light-heavyweight title after moving up from 168lbs. He's got a big fight coming up against another unbeaten boxer, David Morrell, in January.
Tyson had a lot of good things to say about Benavidez in an interview with ESNews.
"I like him against everybody," Tyson said. He also added, "He's so underrated but so over-polarised here. Listen, I'd be afraid to fight him too if I was in that division. No one even has a chance against him, and I'm talking facts."
Tyson will definitely be watching when Benavidez takes on Morrell. He's also recently talked about which of his former opponents had the toughest chin.
As the November 15 date gets closer, all eyes will be on Tyson and Paul as they prepare for their unusual but intriguing match-up.
