For fame? For money? For boxing bragging rights? At 57, Thai King Mike Tyson has agreed to a boxing match against 27-year-old boxing sensation Jake Paul!
Who is Jake Paul, the 27-year-old? And how did he land a bout with the Thai King? Since transitioning from the YouTube scene to boxing, Jake Paul has amassed a record of 9 wins and 1 loss in 10 professional matches! His latest victory came on the 3rd of this month when he technically knocked out former boxer Boulrand. Additionally, he famously knocked out former NBA Slam Dunk champion Robinson in 2020, which served as an exhibition match for Tyson's comeback.
Opposing Jake Paul in this showdown is none other than the legendary figure in the boxing world, Mike Tyson, considered one of the greatest boxers of all time. Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in history at just 20 years old, winning a total of 50 fights in his career, with 44 victories by knockout. Although his last bout ended in a draw against Roy Jones Jr. in November 2020, Tyson is eagerly anticipating this battle, seeing it as the pinnacle of his comeback journey.
When the renowned streaming platform Netflix officially announced this highly anticipated matchup, Tyson stated in a release, "Over the years, Jake Paul has made significant strides as a boxer, and I look forward to seeing what this young fighter's will and ambition will bring to the fight." Jake Paul, on the other hand, remarked, "To be on the verge of facing Tyson, I can't wait to see if I can defeat one of boxing's most notorious fighters."
This boxing match marks Netflix's third sports event broadcast following the "NetFlix Cup" golf exhibition and the tennis exhibition featuring Alcaraz and Nadal. The bout has been widely dubbed as the "Cash Grab Clash," with the exact figures undisclosed, but both sides are expected to earn substantial prize money from it... |
