October 23rd 2024.
In just a few short weeks, the world will witness a highly-anticipated fight between two boxing legends – Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. The 58-year-old Tyson, known for his impressive record as the undisputed champion in the late 80s and early 90s, will be making a comeback to the ring after a 15-year hiatus.
However, not everyone is convinced that Tyson will be able to reclaim his former glory. In fact, he has been warned by many that he will be "obliterated" by Paul, a 27-year-old YouTuber-turned-fighter. But Tyson remains unfazed and is determined to prove his doubters wrong.
Originally scheduled for July, the fight was postponed due to an ulcer flare-up that Tyson experienced. But now, it has been sanctioned as a professional bout and will take place at the AT&T Stadium in Texas on November 15. This will be Tyson's first official fight since 2005, although he did participate in an exhibition event against fellow legend Roy Jones Jr. four years ago.
On the other hand, Paul has been making a name for himself in the boxing world since his debut in 2020. He has won 10 out of his 11 fights, with his only loss coming against Tommy Fury, younger brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.
Opinions are divided on who will emerge victorious in this highly-anticipated match. British boxing legend Lennox Lewis believes that Tyson will come out on top, while YouTube star KSI, who fought against Paul's brother Logan, predicts that Tyson will be "absolutely destroyed". KSI has even gone as far as saying that Paul's training footage looks "awful" and that he is "slow" and "sluggish" in the ring.
But Lewis has his reasons for believing in Tyson's capabilities. He points out that Tyson knows how to protect himself, throw body shots, and cut off the ring. However, he also acknowledges that at 58 years old, Tyson's mobility may be a factor in the fight.
Tyson's former trainer, Jeff Fenech, also has faith in his former pupil. He believes that if Tyson uses his head and makes Paul miss, he could easily come out on top. Fenech even goes as far as saying that this could be the "easiest money" Tyson has ever made.
Fenech also dismisses Paul's boxing skills, stating that anyone can punch a pad or a bag, but it takes true skill to fight in the ring. He believes that Tyson's defensive abilities and powerful punches will be too much for Paul to handle.
In the end, it remains to be seen who will come out on top in this highly-anticipated fight. But one thing is for sure – the world will be watching as two boxing legends go head-to-head in the ring.
