Former boxing champion Mike Tyson is set to fight YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in Texas next month. Despite criticisms from promoter Eddie Hearn over Tyson's age and the match's validity, Tyson insists on fighting for self-testing rather than financial gain. Tyson remains confident of victory.
Mike Tyson, once revered as the 'Baddest Man on the Planet,' is gearing up to fight YouTube sensation and boxer Jake Paul next month in Texas. His return to the ring has been met with criticism, notably from British promoter Eddie Hearn.
Hearn has labeled the event at Arlington's AT&T Stadium as "dangerous, irresponsible and disrespectful to boxing." Despite his criticisms, Tyson, at 58, remains unfazed by his detractors. 'This bout isn't about the money,' claims Tyson, aiming to challenge himself instead.
Despite his tumultuous past, Tyson confidently asserts his capability to prevail, emphasizing his unmatched experience over Paul, who holds only ten professional fights. The boxing legend's career includes 44 knockouts, demonstrating his enduring confidence and legacy in the sport.
