The highly anticipated fight between boxing legend Mike Tyson and YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul will be aired live on popular streaming service Netflix. Tyson, who is known for his impressive track record of 50 wins and 44 knockouts, has made it clear that he plans on beating Paul "very badly" in their upcoming match on November 15 in Texas.
Originally scheduled for July, the fight had to be postponed due to Tyson's health concerns. However, the 58-year-old has reassured fans that he is now fully prepared to step into the ring and take on his 27-year-old opponent. Netflix has described the fight as a "must-see" event, despite its controversial decision to sanction it as a professional bout with certain conditions in place to minimize the risk of serious injury.
Tyson's boxing career has seen him go down in history as one of the greatest boxers of all time. After being crowned the undisputed world heavyweight champion in the late 1980s and reclaiming his titles in the mid-1990s, Tyson was involved in two iconic fights with Evander Holyfield. The second fight, in which Tyson famously bit Holyfield's ear, caused a media frenzy and is still considered one of the biggest sports stories of all time.
Meanwhile, Paul, who has won nine out of his ten fights, has also been training hard for this match. However, his only defeat came at the hands of British boxer Tommy Fury last year. In response to talk show host Jimmy Kimmel's suggestion of placing a bet on Tyson to win, the former heavyweight champion confidently stated, "I'm going to finish him. I started him and I'm going to finish him."
Tyson has been rigorously training for this fight, spending around six hours a day in the gym. He starts his day at 11am and doesn't finish until 5pm, with a short break for a massage in between. When asked if he thinks he will beat Paul, Tyson replied, "Badly... very badly."
Paul's brother Logan, who has also participated in boxing events, has previously stated that there is no backup opponent in case Tyson is unable to fight. However, Paul seems to have no concerns, stating that Tyson is "super healthy" and "feeling great" behind the scenes.
In addition to the main event, Netflix's first-ever boxing show will also feature Irish boxer Katie Taylor, who will be facing off against Amanda Serrano in a highly anticipated rematch. With Tyson's promise to "finish" Paul and the addition of Taylor's fight, it's safe to say that this event will be one for the books.
