Tyson, known as "Iron Mike," will make his return to professional boxing after nearly 20 years away from the sport. The clash has got people talking, and some big names in boxing have shared their thoughts.
Lennox Lewis, who beat Tyson back in 2002, thinks his old rival will come out on top. He told FightHype.com:
"Mike Tyson's gonna win. Tyson is not that old. Paul is not a true fighter. Tyson has experience Paul is still learning."
Lewis pointed out that Tyson's quick combinations could be the key. He reckons if Tyson lands a solid punch, Paul will struggle to stay on his feet. But he also warned that age might become a factor if the fight drags on.
Evander Holyfield, who fought Tyson twice in the 1990s and won both times, shared his take on the matchup. He sees advantages for both fighters. Paul's speed could be crucial, but Tyson's explosive attacks are still dangerous.
Holyfield advised Paul on his strategy when speaking to Fight Hub TV:
"Give him room and you're gonna be messed up."
He thinks Paul should stay close to Tyson and smother him to have a chance of winning. Holyfield compared Tyson to a snake, saying he'll strike when you least expect it.
This fight brings together two very different boxing backgrounds. Tyson fought some of the best in the heavyweight division during his career. He faced Lewis in 2002, losing by eighth-round stoppage. His matches against Holyfield are part of boxing history, including the infamous ear-biting incident in their rematch.
We'll find out what happens when Tyson and Paul step into the ring in November. The fight has got fans and experts curious about how it will play out.
