In March, the Jake Paul – Mike Tyson fight was announced and slated for June 20th. But Tyson said that when he was on the plane to Miami, he went to the bathroom, and threw up blood. Tyson’s sickness caused the fight to be postponed. But, now that Tyson has recovered, the fight is set to be this Friday, November 15th. Many people are excited for this fight. Some people may argue that Paul will win, because he is younger than Tyson, and may be more healthy. But they have to remember that that Tyson only lost 6 fights out of 58. Paul has only had 7 fights in his career. This means that Tyson has a lot more experience than Paul.
Some people also may be wondering, “How is this fight even able to happen, because Jake Paul is in the cruiser weight class, and Mike Tyson is in the heavyweight class.” Well, the answer to that is that Jake Paul payed for the fight to happen. 40 million dollars, in fact. Rumours suggest that he is paying Tyson an extra 5 million if he lasts more than 4 rounds in the fight. The prize for winning this fight is estimated to be $20 Million.
The fight will take place at the AT&T stadium in Arlington, Texas and will be streamed on Netflix at 8pm EDT.
