The last time he took part in a sanctioned fight was back in June 2005, but now nineteen years later, former two-time heavyweight champion “Iron” Mike Tyson (50-6, 44 KOs), turned YouTuber, will put up a fight. professional boxer, Jake “The Problem Child” Paul (10-1, 7 KOs).
While Mike Tyson has been inactive for nearly two decades, his opponent, Jake Paul, has competed consistently inside the ring for the past four years. The highly anticipated Tyson vs Paul clash will take place on Friday night, November 15 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, streaming live on Netflix.
When we think of Mike Tyson, we think of the man who, at the age of 20, became the youngest boxer to win the heavyweight title. We think of the man who at the age of 21 collected the other two belts and became the undisputed world champion.
Back in his prime, Mike Tyson was the ultimate combination of speed and power. Tyson utilized the peek-a-boo style to perfection while dominating the heavyweight division from 1986 to 1990.
These days, Mike Tyson is preparing to face a man who is a former YouTuber and currently a four-year boxing pro. Going by namesake, in a hypothetical situation, it’s easy to say Mike Tyson could beat 27-year-old Jake Paul, but in our current reality, it’s risky to say because of the date on Tyson’s birth certificate .
Tyson has advantages in the experience and skill categories, but what is of most concern to fight fans is the 58-year-old Tyson’s level of stamina. The boxing community’s biggest fear is Tyson being gassed and stopped in the later rounds.
What the boxing community fears is not a real concern in Tyson’s mind because of the health product he is involved with. In his latest business venture, Mike Tyson has formed a partnership with LF*GO.
LF*GO is a brand on its way to being a game changer in the energy category. It is an oral sachet product in which each sachet contains 200 mg of natural caffeine and six essential vitamins and minerals.
Along with LF*GO Chairman David Cynamon, brand ambassador Mike Tyson recently held a press conference in Las Vegas to talk about LF*GO and his upcoming fight with Jake Paul. Tyson said LF*GO keeps him fueled during intense workouts and his favorite LF*GO sachet flavor is sour cherry.
During the press conference, Mike Tyson talked about how he was initially a little skeptical regarding the product until he noticed the impact it had on his training.
“At first I didn’t think this thing was real. Once I started putting them in with the rest of my supplements and when I got in the ring to spar, it made a huge difference. It helps my focus, it helps my relaxation, my calmness, and I’m going to keep using it, even to fights.”
On the night of November 15, if Tyson is unable to catch Paul early with a KO shot, the 58-year-old’s stamina will become the focal point. However, Tyson is not worried about a stamina issue because he believes in the impact of LF*GO, and he also believes in his overall preparation for the fight.
“I’ve been training a lot harder, and I’m just ready. It is difficult to explain the training methods and things; I’m just ready to fight.”
