At the beginning of the year we expected a clear winner between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. Originally scheduled for July 20, the fight was postponed due to Tyson's medical concerns. But now we are less than a month away from the fight taking place on November 15th at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, the fight will be available on NETFLIX and I sincerely believe that nobody knows what to expect if the experience and strength but slowness of Tyson will be able to overcome the youth and speed of Paul, but let's hope that now that it is so close it won't be canceled again.
Mike Tyson sends a strong message to Paul during training
With less than a month to go before the most anticipated fight of the year and perhaps the one that has attracted the most attention in recent years, both fighters have shared videos on their social media networks showing part of their training, in these posts they usually make fun of the opponent and also incite him to generate anger. Like in this last one of Tyson's training, while Iron Mike is strengthening his neck, the caption has a very clear message: "While Jake keeps talking, I'm going to keep training. Going to f**k him up." That way or clearer my dear Jake Paul.
Although Jake Paul, at 27, has the edge in youth and athleticism, it's hard to count out Tyson, who boasts an impressive 50 wins in 58 fights, with 44 knockouts. Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in history at the age of 20, unifying the WBC, WBA and IBF titles. However, Tyson's last professional fight was against Kevin McBride in 2005, and although he has been out of the ring for years, he remains one of the most feared fighters in the sport.
Tyson's reputation as one of boxing's most intimidating competitors remains intact, even in his late 50s. Paul, with a 10-1 record, will need more than just physical preparation to deal with the psychological edge Tyson brings to the ring. Also, none of Paul's fights have generated the buzz that this one will, so another factor against Paul is the pressure of an entire stadium where nearly 100,000 spectators are expected. Although Paul's rise in boxing has been remarkable, this next fight will be his toughest challenge yet.
