Mike Tyson has revealed that diet was the reason he pulled out of his first fight with YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul. The 58-year-old boxing legend was scheduled to face “The Problem Child” in July, but a recurrence of a peptic ulcer forced him to withdraw from the match.

He had to stop training on doctor’s advice, but is now back in the gym and insists he will be ready to fight the 27-year-old next month.

The controversial clash between the two stars is scheduled for November 15 at the AT&T Arena in Arlington, Texas, in front of a potential crowd of 90,000. The fight will be considered a professional heavyweight fight.

Since the fight’s rescheduling, there has been widespread criticism within the boxing community of the decision to proceed with the match amid concerns about Tyson’s health.

During a recent conversation with Online mail“Iron Mike” revealed that he is now “ulcer-free,” attributing his previous health problems to his diet. “I ate too much bad food and stuff, and I got ill,” he admitted. However, Tyson has now vowed to avoid “processed foods” and follow “immaculate eating” principles ahead of his upcoming fight with the youthful American.

The discussion about the potential impact of the upcoming fight on his historical legacy showed a clear lack of concern for outside opinions. “I didn’t take this fight for the legacy,” he declared. “I think legacy is really, from my point of view, legacy is ego. Who cares what people think of them when they’re gone? I’m dead. I can’t appreciate what anyone might think of me when I’m dead, so it means nothing to me.

Now that he has gotten rid of his ulcers and is following a immaculate diet, Tyson seems ready to fight against the internet superstar. Still, some supporters remain skeptical about his involvement in the fight against Paul. The boxing icon, 58, told Jimmy Kimmel that his training program is intense and lasts six hours a day.

“I train extremely demanding, I practice six hours a day. I start at 11 a.m. and can leave the gym at 5 p.m.,” Tyson confirmed. Hearing this, a stunned Kimmel asked, “11:00? So it’s six hours straight, is there a break for lunch?”

Tyson agreed to a tiny break from his schedule, prompting Kimmel to gasp, “Oh no.” Elsewhere in the conversation, when asked if he planned to get high before meeting Paul, Tyson replied: “I’ll be high in my life, yes.” When Kimmel pushed for marijuana exploit, Tyson admitted, “That’s a possibility, too,” leading the host to joke, “My bet is getting smaller as we talk.”

Tyson hasn’t stepped into a professional ring for almost two decades. His last fight was against Kevin McBride in 2005, where he lost in the fifth round.

Paul, a boxing sensation, made his debut in 2020 and has been competing regularly since then. With a record of 10-1, the American’s only defeat was a fight against Tommy Fury last year. “The Problem Child” will face “Iron Mike” after his victory over former UFC fighter Mike Perry in July.

Conor Benn pushed Chris Eubank Jr. when the pair bumped into each other on Friday in Riyad.

Eubank Jr and Benn were scheduled to fight in October 2022, but the fight was postponed during fight week after Benn tested positive for the banned substance clomiphene.

Benn arrived in Riyadh on Thursday ahead of Eubank Jr’s fight against Kamil Szeremeta on Saturday, a preview of the undisputed featherlight heavyweight title fight between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol.

The anger between the pair, whose fathers fought twice in the 1990s, clearly remained, and tensions rose on Friday when they crossed paths for the first time since their fight was canceled, at a hotel in Riyad.

“Don’t screw it up, son,” Benn warned Eubank Jr.

The Brighton fighter then came face to face with ‘The Destroyer’, confronting him and replying: “This guy comes in when I’m cutting weight.”

Benn replied: “Comes when you cut weight? See you tomorrow after the fight.

“I’m going to get in that ring and fucking give it to you.

“You’re fucking lucky you’re going to be fighting tomorrow.”

The insults and swearing continued until the Essex player shoved his fierce rival in front of the looking media.

“I like the energy,” Eubank Jr said after the push.

“You are a child.”

“A kid who will fuck you up,” Benn replied.

The 28-year-old has had two fights since his drug saga but was unable to compete in the UK as both fights took place in the US.

Benn appeared to be on track to fight in Great Britain again when the National Anti-Doping Panel cleared him to resume his career in his country last July, but those hopes were dealt a major blow in March after both Great Britain fighters were banned Anti-Doping and the British Boxing Board of Control won an appeal to have his provisional suspension lifted.

Undefeated welterweight fighter is scheduled to appear before the BBBofC for questioning this month and hopefully a successful case will lead to the long-awaited showdown with Eubank Jr.

The pair were scheduled to fight at the 157-pound catchweight, but Benn has repeatedly said he will now move up two weight classes to face “NXTGEN” at middleweight.

Tyson Fury revealed the staggering sum Mike Tyson wanted for a potential ring clash. Despite the heavyweight boxing sensation expressing his desire to face the American legend, it appears that financial expectations were too high to fulfill his dream.

“The Baddest Man on the Planet” will be ready to make his ceremonial return to the ring on November 15 at the prestigious AT&T Arena in Texas against social media influencer turned boxer Jake Paul. Although Tyson has been out of professional boxing since 2005 after a loss to Kevin McBride, fans were treated to an exhibition match in 2020 when he faced Roy Jones Jr.

In an unexpected way before the fight with Jones Jr. Tyson got into a Zoom discussion about fighting the “Gypsy King” himself, Tyson Fury. Although the British champion was interested in the prospect, the deal fell apart under the weight of Tyson’s extraordinary request for a payout.

“There has been talk of it,” Fury revealed IFL Television. “His people contacted me. Mike and I had a phone conversation. It was all real, but it never materialized. Whoever offered Mike money to come back was offering us peanuts.

“Mike was talking about the $500 million numbers [half a billion]but what came back to us on paper was a joke. It was crazy. I had a $10 million offer from ESPN to do the fight on the show, but I think everyone has moved on now.”

Fury then faced Deontay Wilder in the highly anticipated rematch between the two heavyweight giants, ultimately stopping his rival in the 11th round. He then secured wins over Dillian Whyte, Derek Chisora ​​and Francis Ngannou before suffering his first professional loss to Oleksandr Usyk earlier this year.

Fury is currently preparing for a rematch with the Ukrainian, wanting to avoid further defeats. Although the exhibition fight with “Iron Mike” never took place, Fury expressed his desire to enter the ring with the former heavyweight champion.

“I would love to share the ring with him and move on,” he continued. “But if he won, people would say I’m rubbish because a 53-year-old beat me.

“If I beat him, I would be a tyrant. This was a lose-lose situation for me. It was money; I didn’t have to fight a guy who was past his prime.”

The boxing community has raised eyebrows at the prospect of Tyson vs. Paul, with skepticism also surrounding Tyson’s involvement in the upcoming match.

Fans are wary because the esteemed “Iron Mike” made a surprising revelation on Jimmy Kimmel’s show about his current workout routine. The boxing legend informed the astonished host: “I train extremely challenging, I practice six hours a day.
