Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul Live (X)
Legendary boxer Mike Tyson will be coming out of retirement to take on social media influencer-turned-boxer Jake Paul in a highly anticipated clash this weekend. This fight was initially scheduled to take place on July 20 but had to be postponed. The reason for the sudden delay was Tyson experiencing an ulcer flare-up. It occurred when he was travelling on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles in May. After some medical attention and a period of rest, the retired boxer was cleared to return to full training which led to the rescheduling of the fight.
The epic fight will be hosted at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. This venue is the home to the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys and has a seating capacity of 80,000. The upcoming fight will be the first time Mike Tyson will compete since 2005.
