Mike Tyson has a message for worried fans about his grandfatherly age of 58. Tyson thanks the fans for their concern, but he will still go ahead with his fight against YouTuber Jake Paul this Friday, November 15.
Tyson says he is a different person now than he was in 2005 because he was using drugs and drinking back then. He might be kidding himself. The 38-year-old Tyson, who vs Kevin McBride by sixth-round knockout on June 11, would beat the current 58-year-old version of himself.
Mike Tyson net worth is estimated at $10 millionso he’ll add nicely to that total after Friday’s fight against Paul, which will be eight two-minute rounds with 14-oz gloves. If Tyson wins, that’s great, but it probably won’t happen. Jake is a mediocre fighter, but he’s 27 and has pop in his right hand.
Tyson: Another person
Former unified heavyweight champion Mike Tyson gets paid $20 million smackers for the battle with Paul on Netflix at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. With the money Tyson is getting for the Jake Paul fight, it might not matter to him if he gets knocked out. Tyson will cry all the way to the bank.
Tyson looked very old in his exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. four years ago on November 28, 2020. I can’t imagine Tyson looking any better on Friday than he did in that match, unless he’s discovered that the Fountain of Youth is aging backwards.
“Thank you very much for being concerned, but I am. I’m gonna be okay. I was a different person. I used drugs and alcohol at the time. I am not that person anymore. I see a better picture of myself. I see the light. I see the world from a different perspective now,” said Mike Tyson Manouk Akopyan about how he is a different person than he was 19 years ago when he last fought professionally in 2005 in a sixth-round knockout loss to Kevin McBride.
Mike Tyson’s legacy will be tarnished with a knockout loss to Jake Paul, and it will look bad for him afterward. Many fans are already down on Tyson for how his career ended with losses to Kevin McBride, Danny Williams and Lennox Lewis. But getting beat up by a no-talent influencer like Jake would be the worst of the worst.
Fans see Friday’s Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight as garbage, and that’s basically what it is. The undercard is also pure garbage, with not one compelling fight among the bunch.
WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios defends against Abel Ramos, a fighter who has has lost two of his last three fights. Let it sink in.
