Everybody is talking about it; somehow, it’s shaping up to be the circus we can’t look away from. Mike Tyson faces Jake Paul in a highly anticipated boxing match tonight, Nov. 15.
This marks Tyson’s first sanctioned fight since 2005. At 58, the legendary former heavyweight champion steps into the ring against the much younger Jake Paul, a 27-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer, in Texas. The eight-round match will occur at the Dallas Cowboys’ stadium and stream globally on Netflix.
The Texas Athletic Commission has set a few conditions for the bout. Rounds are limited to two minutes, and both fighters will use heavier gloves to reduce the impact of punches.
Tyson, who retired with a 50-6 record and 44 knockouts, hasn’t fought since losing to Kevin McBride nearly two decades ago. On the other hand, Paul is newer to the sport but boasts a 10-1 record with seven knockouts, primarily against MMA fighters and journeymen.
Initially slated for July 20, the match was delayed after Tyson fell ill and was treated for a stomach ulcer. Now, the stage is set, and the world is watching. Here’s how you can join in.
