Jake Paul says his father was moved to tears when he found out he would face former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson in the ring. The 27-year-old is currently in the final stages of preparation for the fight, which will take place on November 15 at the ATandT Arena in Arlington, Texas, potentially in front of an audience of up to 90,000.

Paul first entered the boxing world in 2020 and has since risen to fame. His brief but impressive career includes wins over Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva and Nate Diaz, with a record of 10-1. His only defeat was last year against Tommy Fury.

Known as “The Problem Child,” Paul typically faced MMA fighters in the ring, which makes his upcoming fight with Tyson a unique challenge. “Iron Mike” hasn’t competed in a professional match since losing to Kevin McBride in 2005, although he did compete in an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. four years ago.

Tyson, considered a heavyweight boxing legend, is a reason for many to be concerned about fighting a fighter 31 years younger than him.

At the press conference, Paul said: “Making history. That’s what I mean, man. I’m a kid from Ohio. They never give me credit. That’s how it is. water, they would say it’s because I can’t swim. And that means making history. People think I’m going to get knocked out by this forceful, powerful guy.

“All the people in my comments are saying, ‘Look at his strength. He’s about to get knocked out.» Fighting someone as fierce as Mike required risk. This is what art is all about.

What’s more, “The Problem Child” sees the fight as an honor and admits that even his father, Greg, cried when he heard about the fight with his childhood hero, Mike Tyson.

In a candid moment shared Illustrated sportshe said: “It’s an honor for me. It’s a win for both sides. I can’t believe it. My dad’s favorite fighter growing up is Mike Tyson. My dad cried when I told him about this possibility.”

He noted: “For me it’s a surreal and iconic moment. The second main event will be Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano. We rank women’s boxing among the most watched events in history and, overall, it’s a win, but of course as you climb to the top of the ladder, the windier it gets. So there will be more critics, but that’s the nature of people and that’s what it is.

“The Problem Child” has carefully studied Tyson’s previous fights and suspects that Tyson will try to “trace me on the ropes and then get angled punches from both sides.”

When asked about his strategy, Paul revealed: “Just box on the outside and then employ my footwork to be more agile, get him chasing me and then attack him when he’s out of position. This should frustrate him.”

The announcement of the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson fight scheduled for November 15 promises to be a “mega-event,” if Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) are to be believed.

Netflix and MVP announced three preliminary fights ahead of the co-main event, which will feature Amanda Serrano against Katie Taylor and the highly anticipated eight-round fight between Tyson and Paul. In one of the three fights, Shadasia Green will face Melinda Watpool for the WBO super middleweight title.

In the second round, undefeated Lucas Bahdi will put his streak on the line against another undefeated fighter: Corey Marksman. At 24, Marksman will be looking to defeat Bahdi, who is six years his senior, as he continues to make a name for himself among the lightweight crowd.

Finally, Bruce Carrington will face Dana Coolwell to put his status as one of the fastest rising featherweights to the test. Coolwell is undefeated at featherweight and with his combination of speed and size, the Australian boxer will give Carrington a challenge like he has never seen before.

After the preliminary fight, there will be two fights before Serrano-Taylor and Tyson-Paul. In the first fight, WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios will face Abel Ramos in a 12-round championship fight.

Additionally, there will be a six-round fight between Neeraj Goyat and Whindersson Nunes. Goyat is currently the number one boxer in India, with a record of 18-4-2 and eight knockouts, while Nunes will be looking to make an impact against one of the best fighters in the world.

Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of MVP, believes that a diverse range of players will ensure an unforgettable experience. “From start to finish, Paul vs. Tyson will provide fans at AT&T Stadium and around the world on Friday, November 15, with an thrilling night of boxing, starting with an action-packed pre-show,” he said in a statement.

Don’t miss…

And while many fights can be thrilling, the Paul vs. Tyson fight is undoubtedly the highlight. However, the fight could end sooner than expected if the YouTuber-turned-boxer is not careful in how he approaches the 58-year-old Tyson and his ferocity.

“If Jake moves like Larry Holmes, circling around and dodging punches, maybe he can survive,” Larry Holmes explained to OLBG. “But if he doesn’t move and dodge Mike’s punches, he won’t make it. He must strike a blow. Block what he throws and throw it away. If he doesn’t fight Mike Tyson smartly, using movement and jabbing, he won’t win. If he tries to trade blows, he won’t win.

“The only way to win a battle is to flee,” Holmes added. “If he doesn’t apply jab and move, good night, Irene. If he doesn’t apply his jab, he’ll be in trouble. You have to beat Tyson, apply your jab and be the first. When the bell rings, Tyson will run at it and will have to stop Mike with a sturdy right hand and a left hook.

Carl Froch has reacted strongly to Eddie Hearn after his former promoter branded him an Anthony Joshua ‘hater’.

While interview with professional boxing fans last week, Hearn responded to Froch about his reaction to Joshua’s reaction defeat in the fifth round to Daniel Dubois last month, in which the former super middleweight champion questioned the Watford fighter’s hunger.

Froch dismissed the match-room chairman’s comments and insists he showed respect to Joshua after he was dropped four times by Dubois, dashing his hopes of becoming a three-time world heavyweight champion

“I said he fell on the shield,” the 47-year-old continued Froch About the fight.

“He was there, he took the penalty and he never gave up and stayed there.

He needed respect to stay there and not leave, and that’s exactly what I’m giving him.

“So Eddie Hearn gives me some bullshit and says I hate AJ, it’s not right, it’s inexact and that’s why I’m dragging him into it.”

Froch and Joshua have been engaged in public discussions over recent months, with ‘The Cobra’ leaking voicemails from his former stablemate and describing him as a “plastic gangster” during the height of their feud.

In July, a footballer from Nottingham claimed that theirs the dispute has been resolved and now he has revealed that he reached out to his compatriot after the devastating defeat to Dubois.

“Me and AJ go way further than Eddie Hills [Hearn] does,” he added.

“We have known each other much longer.

“I trained with him at EIS, we had the same coach.

“Actually, after the fight, I was his guest, I sent him a message, talked to him and asked if everything was OK.

“I’m more concerned about his health than how much money he makes for me because I’m not a promoter who takes money when I drop fighters.

“It’s me who’s worried because I understand boxing.

“I was there. I was hit in the face.

“I know what it’s like to wake up the morning after a loss and have a concussion.

“I contacted Anthony Joshua. We had a good conversation.

“He called me a mentor, which was really nice, and I don’t think Eddie Hearn understands the relationship that Anthony Joshua and I have.

“We have a lot of respect for each other because we are both warriors, we are both warriors.”
