Mike Tyson has denied claims that he consumed raw meat in preparation for his upcoming confrontation with YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul. The two heavyweight boxers will fight on Friday, November 15 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington in front of an expected crowd of up to 90,000.

The fight was originally scheduled for earlier this year, but Tyson had to withdraw due to a recurrence of his peptic ulcer. Doctors have advised him to stop training, but after returning to the gym, he assures fans that he will be ready to walk in the ring this month.

During a recent conversation with Online mailTyson attributed his past health problems to his diet. “I ate too much bad food and stuff, and I got ailing,” he said. However, he said he now avoids processed foods due to a conflict with the juvenile American.

Ahead of the original date in July, Tyson revealed that he ate raw meat before his fight with the social media star. When asked on the Damon Elliott Show why he looked so good, the 58-year-old replied: “Raw meat. I have to eat it now because my opponent will be raw meat.”

In a surprising move during a quick question-and-answer session with Netflix, Tyson backtracked on previous claims about his diet, denying that he eats raw meat. When asked if he included raw meat in his diet for the upcoming fight, “Iron Mike” explained: “I would never eat raw meat at all. My wife eats raw meat, but I don’t eat raw meat. Japanese things, sushi.”

Last month, Paul revealed that his opponent in the heavyweight bout is expected to tip the scales at around 235 pounds. Talking to Hollywood reporterPaul, known as “The Problem Child,” shared his current weight of 216 pounds and his prediction of being around 220 pounds on fight day. He also admitted that he predicted Tyson would be much heavier, stating, “Tyson will probably be 235.”

With a reputation as a formidable knockout artist in his heyday, Tyson’s potential fighting weight of 235 pounds suggests he is gearing up to deliver an early knockout punch. Meanwhile, Paul, who is 31 years younger, does not take the challenge lightly, fully aware that the boxing legend’s destructive power could still pose a earnest threat.

He meticulously analyzed hours of footage to decipher Tyson’s fighting strategy, convinced that his opponent would want to “trap me in the ropes and then throw punches at angles from all sides.”

When asked about his game plan, 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.”

Despite being a younger and arguably more athletic player, Paul admitted to experiencing pre-match jitters with the countdown to the anticipated clash being just two weeks away. Asked if he had sudden concerns about the fight, he admitted: “Definitely. Moments of uncertainty, especially the move to heavyweight when [Tyson] has a weight advantage and so on. He is incredibly powerful and I know he takes this seriously.”

“But I don’t think he should go anywhere else but to fight Dubois.”

Carl Froch, one of the greatest British boxers of his generation, has explained why he believes the Earth is flat and not round. The 47-year-old is also convinced that no one has actually ever been to the Moon, accusing NASA of faking the landings.

It is generally accepted that Neil Armstrong was the first person to walk on the Moon when Apollo 11 landed on the lunar surface in 1969. Froch, however, came to a very different conclusion after reviewing “all the footage” and looking at what he saw. claims to be “evidence.”

“The equipment they used to get there was as powerful as a Zedec Spectrum, which probably wasn’t that powerful,” he said. Action network.

“When I was a kid, it was the computer. Now we can’t get there and I think everything we’ve been told about the moon landing [is made up].

“When you look at all the evidence, all the footage and the fact that they lost all the telemetry that tells you they went to the moon, I would say we didn’t go to the moon.

“Man has not walked on the moon. It was a substantial fucking lie.”

Froch added: “Every image we have seen of planet Earth is a CGI image. So when I see the picture of the world as a whole, I will start to believe in heliocentrism – helio is the sun, the centric being at the center.

“I don’t believe a lot of the things that tell me about the heliocentric model, that the sun is in the middle and that we orbit around it, the Massive Bang theory, which is a theory, and the theory of evolution, which we come from apes.”

Froch also discussed his belief that the Earth is flat, not round, having openly admitted to believing in the conspiracy theory in the past.

“The speed of featherlight around the Earth takes three seconds. Planet Earth has approximately 24,000 [miles] in circumference, so if you travel at the speed of featherlight, imagine how far you will go in an hour.

Froch initially raised eyebrows in 2019 when he claimed the Earth was flat, adding that he would only believe it was round if he were taken into space to see for himself.

People wondered if the Nottingham resident had simply made a mistake, but during an appearance on The Telegraph he confirmed that his beliefs were earnest. Macklin’s take podcast.

When host Matthew Macklin questioned his views, Froch responded: “That’s the problem. I have tried to prove, and I challenge anyone listening to this, to prove that the Earth is spherical. Prove that it is round. Prove that it is in fact a globe.”

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson officially suspended after controversial fight

Published

on

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson have been suspended by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) following their highly anticipated fight. Following the Arlington fight, the pair received a mandatory minimum suspension period, which in this case is 24 days.

TDLR rules state that each fighter must rest for at least three days in each round fought. Because the YouTuber-turned-boxer and former undisputed heavyweight champion only fought for eight rounds, he will be suspended for 24 days, according to the website MMA enthusiast.

Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor also face bans. Their fight was very close and Taylor won by unanimous decision, as a result of which both stars were sidelined for over a month with a 45-day suspension.

Even though the Serrano-Taylor fight showed incredible determination and strength, the Paul-Tyson main event seemed to lack the same intensity. After the first attack, the 58-year-old Tyson appeared to tire quickly, allowing Paul to take advantage of his opponent’s waning stamina.

After eight rounds of uninspiring boxing, the 27-year-old was declared the winner by unanimous decision, with Paul paying tribute to Tyson in the closing moments of the final round. In a speech to fans after the fight, Paul apologized for not knocking out Tyson, even though he had previously promised to do so.

“I’m sorry I didn’t knock him out,” Paul said as his entourage nodded in agreement that he chose the honorable route by not beating the 58-year-old icon. He admitted to holding back his punches when he noticed Tyson weakening as the fight progressed.

“After I saw he was tired, I didn’t want to hurt him too much, but I wanted the fans to experience a good experience,” he added. Paul also mentioned that the Tyson fight felt “different” from his previous fights, emphasizing that a more composed attitude allowed him to anticipate Tyson’s moves and prepare more effectively.

“Fighting in the stadium is less personal and less deafening, so it’s less stressful on the nerves,” he noted. “Arenas are harder to fight in. Come out, I was serene, serene and collected.

“In the first round I timed his speed and managed to get his time quite quickly and saw how I could mark him and touch him. The rest was history, I just boxed him and had fun.”

With Paul’s status as a boxing headliner at one point confirmed by over 100 million viewers, the teenage fighter feels he has earned the right to fight some of the biggest names in the sport. As such, Paul is confident that with his victory over Tyson, he can become a champion within the next few years.

“I think it could happen in the next 24 months. I really, really believe in my skills, abilities and power. And the cruiserweight division is apparently open to admission on this date,” he stated.
