I started Jake off, and I’m going to finish him,” Mike Tyson proclaimed during the press meet for his upcoming Jake Paul fight. The bout, which was initially supposed to take place on July 20, was later postponed to November 15, due to a medical emergency induced by a stomach ulcer on a flight. Notably, Paul made his professional debut on the undercard of the Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr. exhibition fight in 2020. Now, Tyson wishes to put an end to Paul’s professional journey in front of a sold-out crowd at the 80,000-seater AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. 

Meanwhile, Jake Paul is coming off a dominant win against Mike Perry at the end of last month. During the in-ring interview following his sixth-round TKO victory over Mike Perry, ‘The Problem Child’ confidently said, “It’s an honor to get in the ring with you [Mike Tyson]. I’m so, so honored, you’re a legend. But I’m going to take your throne, brother.”

However, several boxing commentators and analysts have expressed concern for Mike Tyson’s well-being, considering that there will be a 31-year age gap between the two fighters when they meet inside the ring later this year. The fear is that although Tyson might retain his punching power, his reflexes would be much slower than the former Disney star, increasing the risk of ‘Iron Mike’ getting badly hurt in the fight. Add that to the list of Tyson’s issues with sciatica, which flares up now and then, and it looks concerning for Tyson. Simultaneously, it won’t be outside the realm of possibility for ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ to pull off a miracle, and knock out ‘The Problem Child’. So how is he preparing for the upcoming challenge? Positive visualization! Or in this case, a morbid visualization.

Mike Tyson has already started the countdown for Jake Paul’s “wake” earmarked for November 15. Starting his count on August 6, 2024, there are precisely only “101” days left for the much-anticipated eight-round heavyweight bout in November. Tyson shared the screengrab on his Instagram story with the caption, “@JakePaul can’t wait.” Meanwhile, Paul responded to Tyson’s grim countdown with flushed-face emojis on his own Instagram story, expressing his excitement, or rather concern for the upcoming fight.

Meanwhile, Mike Tyson revealed his desire to have a psychedelic experience before he goes into the squared circle to face Jake Paul.

DMT Trip to the rescue!

Tyson’s love affair with psychedelics is very well-known. Reportedly, he has ingested psychedelic substances close to over a hundred times, and he wouldn’t mind a spiritual experience before his return to the ring. Tyson told Esquire Magazine that he is planning to ingest a drug derived from the poison of the Sonoran Desert toad known as 5-MeO-DMT for a one-way trip to meet God.

He was even seen consuming four grams of magic mushrooms on Logan Paul’s podcast Impulsive in 2020. Talking about the drug’s positive influence, Tyson said, “It makes you pretty objective for what’s really going on and mushrooms really tell you that you’re nothing. Even the mushrooms in the daytime, you take in, and the earth starts moving. You look at the ground, it’s moving. You look at the plants and the trees, they’re moving. They’re doing something. It’s absolutely insane.” 

Only time will tell if the psychedelic experience he is planning to have will have any positive effect on the Jake Paul fight. It just might be that it will help activate Mike Tyson’s “I’m Alexander” mode, and help the knockout artist add Jake Paul to his famed KO record.

Back in 1997, something happened during a boxing match, which still sends shivers down the spines of people who see it. Heavyweight boxers Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield went toe-to-toe against each other for their second encounter inside the squared circle. The first one Tyson lost. During round three of their second match, a furious and frustrated Tyson sunk his teeth and ripped off a portion of Holyfield’s right ear, leaving him bleeding and in gruesome pain. Almost 27 years later, it is still regarded as one of the most infamous chapters in boxing history.

Nearly two decades after his retirement, Mike Tyson was supposed to grace the ring on July 20 opposite Jake Paul at the AT&T Stadium in Texas. However, the match has now been postponed.    The 58-year-old suffered an ulcer flare-up, which eventually forced his doctors to step in and issue an ultimatum against his return to training. The fate of the massive Netflix event now looks bleak. In the midst of all this Holyfield posted a video of himself on Instagram slugging hard on a punching bag. Fans immediately cluttered the comments section of the post suggesting potential matchup options for the Real Deal.

Evander Holyfield is regarded as one of the greatest heavyweight boxers the world has ever seen. Despite having retired 10 years ago, the four-time world heavyweight champion nevertheless maintains a sizable following on Instagram, with 1.2 million followers. The 61-year-old posted the video with the caption, “If you don’t take no chances, then you’re not a performer. Performers always take chances.”

After looking at his recent training video, his fans demanded a comeback from the former champ in a similar vein to Mike Tyson’s. However, is he truly fit to fight in a boxing ring again? Does this hint towards a comeback? His fellow boxing mate ‘Iron Mike’ has caught the world’s attention since the announcement of his fight with ‘The Problem Child’.

After looking at his recent training video, his fans demanded a comeback from the former champ in a similar vein to Mike Tyson’s. However, is he truly fit to fight in a boxing ring again? Does this hint towards a comeback? His fellow boxing mate ‘Iron Mike’ has caught the world’s attention since the announcement of his fight with ‘The Problem Child’.

ne fan even brought in former undisputed heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis into the conversation. They said, “Can u and mike have the last man standing fight pls anyone that win will fight Lenox Luis”

As the fight between Tyson and Paul remains postponed, a boxing enthusiast suggested the ‘Real Deal’ to be Paul’s new opponent. They wrote, “Jakes new opponent.” While another Instagram user simply praised Holyfield for his exceptional physique. They remarked, “The Real Deal looking better than men half his age.”

Despite all the remarks made by fans, there is very little to no chance that Tyson and Holyfield will fight again. Both fighters have come a long way and moved on from their bloody past. The two even joined hands in 2022 and used their infamous fight as a marketing strategy to sell Tyson’s edible ear-shaped gummies.

Mike Tyson is still one of the scariest men on the planet. While his days of knocking out opponents in savage fashion and instilling fear may largely be behind him, ‘Iron Mike’ is still, as Joe Rogan put it, a lion. A lion that has aged, but a lion nonetheless. So when Jake Paul, ahead of their July 20 boxing match, tried to act tough in a face-off with the youngest heavyweight champion ever, Tyson and the combat sports world were not impressed.

‘Iron Mike’ remained calm and composed. But, needless to say, Paul’s shenanigans have not gone down well with the fight world, who criticized his behavior, including former UFC star Matt Brown, who called him out in very strong terms.

After their bout was sanctioned as a professional fight in Texas, ‘The Problem Child’ declared that either he or Tyson had to die in the ring. Paul has been belligerent throughout the build-up and has promised to knock out ‘Iron Mike’ despite his reverence for the former champion outside the ring. And continuing this theme, Paul tried to push the legend’s buttons as they came face to face, and was seen chattering at Tyson and even pointing a finger gun at him.

Contrary to his aggressive persona, when things would probably not have ended well for the former Disney star, Tyson chose to be the bigger man and tried to diffuse the situation by laughing and saying something to Paul that was inaudible to the camera. Former UFC welterweight veteran Matt Brown railed at the celebrity boxer for trying to be the tough guy against Tyson in their second face-off and felt Paul didn’t remember how scary Tyson truly was because he wasn’t even born when Tyson was running through the heavyweight division like an unstoppable hurricane in the 80s and early 90s.

So cringe. Jake Paul trying to f***ing be hard on Mike Tyson. Jesus Christ. You can’t do that. For one, it’s Mike Tyson. For two you wouldn’t do that 20, 30 years ago when you we born- if you were an adult back then. You wouldn’t even have thought about it… If there’s one guy you don’t want to wake up the f**king savage killer inside, it’s Mike f***ing Tyson!” a heated Brown said in a video on social media.

The 43-year-old found Paul’s conduct during the face-off deplorable and felt that the former Disney star was playing a dangerous game by provoking the ‘savage killer instinct’ of Tyson. And as the fight draws closer, it does seem that ‘Iron Mike’ is, slowly but surely, getting back to his old ways even if in a more muted manner.

Mike Tyson’s chilling warning for Paul

While Mike Tyson had been remarkably calm and placid in his previous press conference with Jake Paul and even admitted his fondness for ‘The Problem Child’, he has promised there will be ‘carnage’ when they get in the ring next month. Even though Tyson admitted in the press conference that he didn’t consider Paul much of a challenge in terms of what he brings to the table, being a true scholar of pugilism, he felt that nothing could be said for certain until they get into the ring.

Anybody [is a] threat [when] there’s two men in the ring, everybody’s a threat,” he said. Tyson has held off from his famously violent and threatening call-out of his opponents at press conferences as he did in his prime. However, while he was not as bombastic, he did issue a chilling warning that is sure to have made Paul, at the very least, extremely uncomfortable.

“I gave him his warning: Fight like your life depends on it because it does. [But] I’m not concerned about anything. If I was concerned, I wouldn’t be here talking to you,” he told the reporters.

What might be better news for fight fans than witnessing the comeback of the greatest of all time? Mike Tyson is about to make a comeback to the boxing arena after being away from it for years, and this time he is up against the Youtuber-turned-boxer, Jake Paul. Their clash is scheduled to happen on July 20. Nonetheless, many people in the fight world think that Tyson would decimate Paul, but the ‘Count’ has another opinion on it.

The significant age ͏gap of nearly 30 years between the fighters might ͏impact their performance. However, Mike Tyson has come forward to showcase his skills by uploading his training videos. Michael Bisping has expressed some different thoughts about the former boxing champion. Let’s take a look at what the ͏former middleweight champion had to say ͏about the sparring videos.

Mike Tyson is one of the biggest names in the history of boxing. However, the former boxing champion is way past his prime. At the age of 57, Tyson last fought against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020. Despite giving it their all, Tyson and Jones had to shake hands as their match ended in a draw. Fast forward to 2024, and ‘Iron Mike’ is on the verge of clashing against Jake Paul.

Is the former boxing champ truly ready for the fight? Tyson consistently uploads his sparring videos, and from the looks of it, ͏he seems more prepared than ever. But what’s the reality ͏behind it? According to former middleweight champ of the UFC, Michael Bisping Tyson might be one of the best in the world, but his age might be catching up to him. While having a conversation on his YouTube channel, Bisping gave his reasoning behind his doubts about the boxing champ.

“Yes, we’re seeing clips of Mike Tyson, little short clips with the legendary coach Rafael Cordeiro, 15-20 seconds long, on Instagram. He’s looking like a killer; he’s looking like a machine, but pads don’t hit back, okay? And we’re just seeing the Instagram version. Today they had the press conference; they squared up, they got in each other’s faces, but it was a cordial, friendly affair.” said Bisping.

Mike Tyson might be one of the best in the world, but when age catches up, even the best fighters crumble, and fighting against a young fighter, even if he is a newbie, might prove to be a bit harsh. Nonetheless, the fight is happening, and along with Bisping, former UFC fighter and former flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson is also concerned about Tyson.

Boxing is a harsh sport that is brutal, and it could be life-threatening if you don’t understand when to give up. Mike Tyson’s decision to fight Jake Paul may be a good or bad decision for him, according to former UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson. While analyzing the fight footage of Tyson’s last bout against Roy Jones Jr. on his YouTube handle, Johnson found that unfortunately, age has caught up with the boxing giant.

“The thing that would be interesting when Mike Tyson fights Jake Paul is what happens when Jake Paul hits Mike Tyson. Right, like what happens when he hits him. Will his brain be able to take it, and will his chin be able to last? That is what it is going to come down to at the end. Skill-wise, Mike Tyson is obviously better. The way he moves the angles, the shots that he is hitting are way better,” said Johnson.

Mike Tyson is known to smoke we*d. If asked to recall an instance, perhaps a fan might go back to the smoke-filled studio of the ‘Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson’, the boxing great’s eponymous podcast. But how does that equate with 19 cigarettes? That too burned off in half an hour? If what Tom Segura told Shaquille O’Neal stands true, then seemingly the youngest heavyweight champion might have accomplished that feat as well.

But the revelation might prove a harbinger of further distress to many fans. They are already concerned as Mike Tyson prepares himself to take on the much younger Jake Paul. The duo are slated for a sanctioned professional fight with specific rules at Arlington’s AT&T Stadium on July 20. The co-host of ‘Your Mom’s House’ was on ‘The Big Aristotle’s show, ‘The Big Podcast With Shaq’. Over a laughter-filled discussion, he mentioned how the little bit of trivia about ‘Iron’ Mike unfolded.

So they met at an airport. The former heavyweight champion’s fearsome reputation had the stand-up comedian worried. “My heart stopped when I felt his hand grab my shoulder. I was like, and then he chatted me up about my show, and then he goes like, We’re coming to your show tonight, brother, and I was like, okay, and then he showed up like at a this is a comedy club,” he said.

Later, though finding it hard to believe initially, the club manager told him that Mike Tyson had arrived. Tom Segura said that throughout the show, he could never make out where Tyson sat. He could just make an assumption based on the loud smacking on the table audible from afar. Later, post-show, they met at the club’s aisle. Mike Tyson then asked if they could go to the green room.

“So he took me to my green room; he goes in there, and then we just sit in the green room; he’s smokes like 19 cigarettes in in 25 minutes, and he’s just like, uh, you know, you got a window. I was like, it’s a little late for that bro like smoking and then he just hung out talked boxing,” said Segura.

However, he recalled how the whole incident saw him on the tenterhooks. But to many fans, this might come across as a surprise.

Going the Whole Length

Only recently did the former heavyweight champion make a stark confession. During an interview with Forbes, he talked about how he forced himself to abstain from smoking w*ed and physical intimacy.

He had been hard-disciplining himself away from such pleasure so that he could get back into his old beast mode when he entered the ring against Jake Paul. “It’s just discipline. You know, discipline is doing what you love to do what you love to do doing what you hate to do, but doing it like you love it. You know, I hate not being able to smoke. I’m doing it like I love it. I hate not to be able to sleep with my wife. I’m doing it like I love it.”

Thus, in light of the fresh insights, most of the fans would be hoping that he is back to his regimented ways to maintain optimum health. Smoking, for whatever it is, doesn’t bode well for a warrior who is aging but at the same willing to charge ahead against a boxer who is thirty years his junior.

At the young age of twenty, Mike Tyson shocked the boxing community by becoming the youngest world champion in the sport! Likewise, the ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’ earned himself envious fame by an excellent display of passion and ferocity inside the boxing ring. However, ‘Kid Dynamite’ initially struggled with the attention he received.

In his latest interaction with Nick Kyrgios, Tyson revealed how he lost control over himself and behaved violently in public, ultimately facing multiple lawsuits and losing his hard-earned money. Eventually, the 57-year-old, who will return to face Jake Paul in a sanctioned pro fight on July 20, also mentioned how self-love helped him gain control over life.

After his debut in 1985, following 28 breathtaking wins, Mike Tyson became the WBC Heavyweight champion of the world with a bright future in store. While Tyson ruled the ring, the boxing world was absolutely smitten by the young fighter’s skills and personality. Undoubtedly, Tyson became one of the most discussed topics in boxing and his fans would give anything to meet ‘Kid Dynamite’ in person. But, after receiving unparalleled fame at such a young age, Tyson struggled because of inconsiderate fans.

In the latest episode of Good Trouble, as host Nick Kyrgios asked Tyson how the latter handled his fame, ‘Kid Dynamite’ said, “At the beginning, not too well.” “At first, you want the fame of being a champion, but you have no control then,” continued Tyson. In this context, he explained running into trouble when several fans bothered ‘Iron’ for photos without showing concern for his state of mind. One incident which comes to mind is Tyson knocking out a paparazzi at Los Angeles International Airport after being disturbed for photos in 2009.

“I might not be in the mood. So, I used to be violent about it. And then I started getting quite a few lawsuits, and I stopped,” he told Nick. By and by, the 57-year-old bemoaned financial losses caused by several lawsuits. “I constantly blew my money away from being sued and going to courts. And just associating with the wrong people, making bad business decisions,” he added. Anyway, things improved for Tyson after the boxer learnt the value of love in life.

On being asked what led Tyson to associate with the wrong people, having pondered for a few seconds, Tyson held “self-hate” accountable. “What got me into that stuff was self-hate, not loving myself and taking care of myself,” said Mike Tyson, reiterating the views he had shared with his therapist, Seano. However, over time, as the boxer gained wisdom, he realized he could counter “self-hate” with “self-love” for a change.

On that note, defining love through the lens he has watched the world, Tyson said, “Love is not buying myself a new mansion [or] a new car, love is buying somebody else a new mansion. It’s pretty interesting that I found that out late in life.” At this, Nick asked ‘Iron’ when the boxer attained the priceless realization. “Not too long, a year or two ago. The more money I get, I realize the less I need,” Mike Tyson concluded.

Get ready for the showdown of the year. Jake Paul and Mike Tyson face off in a professional boxing match with the co-main event being the most anticipated rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano. Scheduled for July 20, it’s set to be an epic clash. The venue? AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The fight between Jake Paul and Iron Mike isn’t just any fight—it’s officially sanctioned, counting on their records.

But before the punches fly, there’s something brewing. Wondering when the press conferences are? Want to know how to catch the action and can you be there in person? We’ve got you covered.

Mark Your calendars for Jake Paul & Mike Tyson press conference

Only if there was a specific way to defeat Mike Tyson, many of his vanquished opponents could have stood a chance. Lucky for Jake Paul, who will fight Tyson on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, Roy Jones Jr. has got his back. Having faced Tyson back in 2020 in an exhibition bout, ‘Captain Hook’ has firsthand experience of being on the wrong end of Tyson’s punches.

So, while appearing in an interview with Shane Mosley, who has trained Jake Paul for the AnEsonGib fight, Jones Jr. revealed the only way Jake Paul could win. Quick note: Mosley recently revealed ‘The Problem Child’ has bulked up, weighing in at 230-pounds, compared to Tyson’s 220-pounds in the last fight. Despite that, the weight is not the only difference maker, according to Jones.

Speaking to Jones, Mosley quickly asked for Jones’ prediction for the fight. In response, the former world champion said, “[I will tell you] what happens [if] they fight a real fight? And [if] Mike is in shape like he got in shape for me, [it’s] gonna be very problematic for Jake Paul.” However, Jones believes the opposite could also happen, especially since Paul is 230-pounds.

Considering the possibility that Tyson doesn’t show up in shape, Jones said, “[If] Jake’s 230 and Jake knows how to push him back and not get caught, those big shots early Jake can win the fight.” At the same time, Jones suggested everything depends upon how Tyson is preparing for the fight.

Considering the possibility that Tyson doesn’t show up in shape, Jones said, “[If] Jake’s 230 and Jake knows how to push him back and not get caught, those big shots early Jake can win the fight.” At the same time, Jones suggested everything depends upon how Tyson is preparing for the fight.

However, “[Jake’s] punches you can see coming a mile away, you can see that coming a mile away. I’m 55, I can see that coming a mile away,” Tyson added. He even suggested that he would beat “these f***ers [Jake and Logan Paul]” with ease, and there wouldn’t be any need for boxing. The only thing Tyson said he would need is 30 straight days of training, and with that, he wouldn’t even have to focus on his diet.

Even though Jake Paul has climbed up to 230-pounds, Roy Jones Jr. believes it would take more to beat Mike Tyson in a fight. However, there will be a 30-year age difference when the fight does happen, so everyone will have to wait to see whether Jones’ prediction holds ground.
