Legendary American boxer, Mike Tyson has warned YouTuber Jake Paul to get ready for a resounding defeat ahead of their highly anticipated fight scheduled for Friday, November 15, 2024.
Asked during the pre-match press conference if he stands to lose anything if he is defeated in the bout, the spirited Tyson exclaimed, “I am not gonna lose. I am not gonna lose. Did you hear what I said.”
This bout is Mike Tyson’s first professional fight since he originally gave up the sport following a defeat to Kevin McBride in 2005. Tyson won 50 of his 58 prior professional victories, with 88% of those victories coming via stoppage.
Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul, which was approved as a professional fight by the Texas Licensing and Regulations Department in April, will take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on Friday, November 15 at 1 AM GMT.
Tyson’s ulcer flare-up caused the encounter, which was originally planned for July 20 of this year, to be postponed.
The typical professional boxing match configuration has undergone several changes. The eight rounds of Paul vs. Tyson will last two minutes apiece, and both competitors will be wearing heavier 14-ounce gloves instead of the customary 10-ounce gloves.
This might lessen the likelihood that the fighters will sustain cuts and swellings throughout the fight.
