Boxing icon Mike Tyson will undergo vital medical tests ahead of his planned comeback fight against social media influencer Jake Paul on Friday.
Tyson will have to undergo a last-minute health check to confirm whether the long-awaited November fight can go ahead.
The original fight was delayed from its original date because Tyson suffered a flare-up of an ulcer on a flight from Miami to San Francisco, where he ended up sprawled on the plane’s bathroom floor, spitting blood.
The renowned boxer who has not fought since his draw with Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition fight four years ago and retired from professional boxing after a defeat to Kevin McBride more than two decades ago in 2020, he knows he will have to undergo a comprehensive medical examination. tests.
His fight with Paul could be downgraded to an exhibition or even thrown out if he fails to meet the demanding medical standards required for professional competition.
Authorities remain on high alert regarding 58-year-old Tyson’s health, and Tela Mange, communications manager for the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, tells World Boxing News that “TDLR is aware of media reports regarding the episode involving Mr. Tyson. Currently, Mr. Tyson Tyson and Mr. Paul have met the medical requirements for the event,” while explaining that “prior to the event, TDLR will conduct pre-fight tests to ensure that both fighters are robust.”
The boxing spectacle featuring Tyson and Paul will depart from tradition by featuring eight two-minute rounds wearing larger 14-ounce gloves rather than the standard 10-ounce gloves. However, both fighters express confidence in winning by knockout.
Throwing down the gauntlet, Tyson stated confidently: “I’m very prepared to knock out Jake Paul. I’m very prepared. I had a little adversity. I got infirmed, but I feel fine. I’m just ready. I’m just ready.
“I’m going to speak my mind and I’m going to talk my shit, but I’m ready to fight. I am pretty and I have been back training for some time, about two or three weeks. .. I’m in camp, as soon as I catch this guy, it’ll be over. Jake Paul is going to run around the ring, but as soon as I catch this guy, I’m done fucking him.”
In an equally vehement response, Paul replied: “He says it will be my funeral. He says this will be my wake. He’ll kill Jake Paul. That’s it and that’s why I love Mike. I respect him but we are no longer friends until November 15th.
“I’m going to knock this motherfucker out and see who’s dead. Mike is the one who wanted this to be a professional fight, so he’s going to get knocked out. “You” I’m going to see the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight on BoxRec – Jake Paul knocking out Mike Tyson.”

Jake Paul bet his entire £31million purse on the outcome of the Mike Tyson fight

November 14, 2024YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul has placed his entire $40 million (£31 million) bet on the outcome of his upcoming fight against boxing legend Mike Tyson. The fight, which will take place next Friday in Dallas, will be Tyson’s first professional fight in almost two decades.
Considering he is 31 years younger than the former undisputed heavyweight champion, Paul is the bookmakers’ favorite to win. During the pre-main event bout, Paul accepted bets from several undercard fighters, including Neeraj Goyat, who bet his $1 million house.
Katie Taylor, who is ready for a rematch with Amanda Serrano, went a step further. When Paul asked her how much she wanted to bet, Taylor replied, “Do you want to bet your wallet?” Without hesitation, Paul agreed, saying, “Yes, let’s put the bag down. Deal” and shook Taylor’s hand.
While many doubt whether the bets will hold, Paul insists that contracts will be signed before Friday evening. Earlier this year, Paul bragged about his earnings from his 12th professional fight.
When asked if he brought Tyson in to “legitimize” his boxing career, Paul replied: “I didn’t bring him in for any shit; “I’m here to make $40 million and knock out a legend I don’t want.” don’t worry about anything else, he wanted it to be a professional fight and he really will get knocked out.”
Paul doesn’t hold back before fighting the legendary Tyson, boasting to reporters: “You’ll see in his record: Jake Paul knocks out Mike Tyson; I’m not here to do shit except make a bag. Every time fighters sit across from me and watch ‘YouTuber this, Disney kid that’ and they end up on the canvas… this will be no different. I offered this deal to this ancient bastard he signed with Netflix and we brought him the deal, you’re welcome my son.
Meanwhile, Tyson made the pre-fight farce clear during his latest press conference, giving terse answers and showing perceptible irritation when asked about a possible loss to Paul. “I said everything I had to say,” Tyson declared, quickly trying to deflect further questions.
But not to be silenced, he assured firmly, “I’m not going to lose.” When pressed again, his patience wore slim as he repeated, “Did you hear what I said?” In a edged response, Paul joked: “That’s cute. I’m not afraid of any man, so I want him to be wild ancient Mike.

Tony Bellew sent off as Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson press conference descends into chaos
Published

November 13, 2024Former world champion Tony Bellew was kicked out of Mike Tyson’s press conference with Jake Paul after he went on a tirade against the YouTuber. Bellew is in Texas for Tyson’s heavyweight clash with Paul on Friday and interrupted the press conference to criticize Paul.
However, the stunt backfired when Bellew’s microphone failed and no one could hear the former cruiserweight champion. He was then awkwardly escorted out of the room by security as a confused Paul looked on.
Bellew has consistently criticized Paul, who has built a boxing career since his professional debut in 2020. In his 12th professional fight, he will face 58-year-old Tyson, and his only defeat was last year against Tommy Fury.
Earlier this week, Bellew criticized Paul for the Tyson fight. He said The best books about sports Offsore: “Mike Tyson is a grandfather.
“He is 58 years vintage. He’s approaching 60 and fighting a man who’s not even half his age. Disney Boy is attacking grandparents right now. It’s really scary. We might as well go to the nursing home and start digging out some of them.”
“If Mike shows up and puts his right hand on him, he will fall asleep. So who should he fight? 70 years vintage? If he wins, will he continue to play like this as he gets older? Is he going to come down? Will he face a real boxer?”
Despite a break from Bellew, Tyson remained largely hushed just two days before returning to the ring. The boxing legend last fought four years ago when he and Roy Jones Jr ended in a dull draw after eight rounds.
However, Paul had doubts whether Tyson would keep his promise and knock out the social media sensation. “He says he’s going to kill me, doesn’t he? I want this killer, I want there to be no excuses when I knock him out.”
Asked if Tyson had called him a “fabricated killer”, Paul replied: “Whatever you want to think, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but the deadliest weapon in the world being produced is nuclear weapons.
“Someone is put to sleep, it will be a war. We’re both weighty hitters and it doesn’t go the distance.
