Boxing legend Mike Tyson to face off against Jake Paul

I had to laugh my ass off at this

Jake Paul of Youtube has made a bit of a name for himself as a boxer, but this time he's bit off more than he can chew. Sure, he's 20 years younger, but this is Iron Mike. I know we have some folks here who do MMA and all that, but the question is, even at 57 years old, would YOU step in the ring with him ?

Mike Tyson, one of the greatest fighters to ever step into the boxing ring, will do so again this summer when he takes on one of the sport's most polarizing new faces in what will surely be the most anticipated sporting event of the year.

Jake Paul, a YouTube star-turned boxer, will take on the former heavyweight boxing champion on July 20 at the Dallas Cowboys' home, AT&T Stadium, in a match that will be streamed exclusively on Netflix.

Omg WHY!

Well I guess I know.
They are trying anything to make Paul relevant in Boxing.
Plus the payday must be astronomical for Tyson

I can just hear the contract being negotiated : Mike, don't kill him in 30 seconds and you'll get X millions.

YES ....WHY

Either way hope Mike takes him OUT ........even at 57

Just remember, "everyone has a plan until you get punched in the face." - Mike Tyson

The man still scares me.

Have you seen his recent sparring video.

Paul can’t be that stupid.

Bread and circus for the masses; like the super bowl....

I'll watch it....

If there was ever a time for Mike to have flashbacks and go off the rails during a fight, it'd be this one. Jake Paul is unsufferable.

By the way, this is a video of Mike training last year. Still scary as hell.

Haha exactly!

a reply to: tarantulabite1

But there will probably be a no round 1 ko clause in the contract lol
And A 1 million dollar, per round carry bonus haha

a reply to: Macenroe1982

Oh I'm sure you are right about that lol

This would be the time he should bite someones ear off hahaha

I think it will be a good fight.

Jake Paul is a pretty good boxer. He only catches crap because he started as a YouTuber. If all people knew about him was what he did in the ring, no one would criticize him.

But on the other hand, Tyson is still Tyson. And he's been training hard the 2 years or so since he unretired.

It should be fun to watch.

I hope we see the Tyson, we see in the short training posts.

The production value of this "show" produced by Netflix should be great. The Problem Child vs. Iron Mike...
Many folks will sign up for Netflix just to see this fine pugilistic spectacular. Perhaps they can get Taylor to attend for even more media attention and sex appeal and get Pavlov's dog to perform some tricks.

If we saw that Tyson...Jake Paul would Ko''ed in seconds. I doubt that will happen. There is also the huge age difference and Tysons health. This will be an exhibition match for $$$$$ lauded as a real bout.

Well, I learnt something looking into this, because of the age difference. Until now, I thought it was George Froman who was the oldest boxer to hold a title.... nope it is now a chap called Bernard Hopkins! Well, well, well. I missed a few years of boxing since it was taken off TV.

Three years later, Hopkins defeated Jean Pascal for the WBC and lineal light heavyweight titles,[10] as well as regaining the Ring title. This made Hopkins the oldest boxer in history to win a world championship, at the age of 46, breaking George Foreman's record set in 1994. Hopkins later broke his own record by winning the IBF light heavyweight title from Tavoris Cloud in 2013, and again in 2014 when he won the WBA (Super) title from Beibut Shumenov,at ages 48 and 49, respectively

Bolded part mine.
Wiki Link about him
I'll have to watch this with my son as I don't have Netflix.

Personally hope that despite any contractual clauses Iron Mike goes rogue and absolutely decimates Fake Paul.

Gimme a BREAK! GO MIKE! I LOVE everything ABOUT Mike Tyson! The short temper, the strength, the boxing, the voice, the humor...he is just awesome!
