The much-anticipated fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson is scheduled for November 15, 2024, at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas, marking one of the most talked-about boxing events of the year. This highly awaited showdown between the legendary Tyson and YouTube star-turned-boxer Paul has garnered attention for its intriguing clash of skill, experience, and contrasting boxing backgrounds. Here’s everything you need to know about the fight and how you can watch it.
The Background: Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson
The initial bout was planned for July 2024 but was postponed to November due to a health issue with Tyson, who suffered an ulcer flare-up. This delay has raised questions about the 58-year-old’s fitness as he prepares for his first professional fight in nearly two decades. Tyson’s last competitive fight was in 2005, where he lost to Kevin McBride. Despite this, Tyson’s history as one of the most ferocious heavyweights in boxing remains legendary. He was the first heavyweight to simultaneously hold the WBA, WBC, and IBF titles and boasts a record of 50-6, with 44 knockouts. Fans are curious to see if Tyson can rediscover any of the devastating power that earned him the moniker “Iron Mike”.
On the other hand, Jake Paul, a social media influencer turned boxer, has been a controversial figure in the sport. Paul, known for his brash personality and larger-than-life social media presence, has compiled a professional boxing record of 10-1, with 7 knockouts. His only loss came in 2023 against Tommy Fury, a fellow boxer and the brother of Tyson. Paul’s rise in the sport has been largely through high-profile celebrity matches and crossover bouts against former athletes like Nate Robinson and Ben Askren. This fight will be his toughest test to date, as he faces off against one of the greatest boxers of all time.
