The last time he participated in a sanctioned bout was in June 2005, but now nineteen years later, the former heavyweight champion, “Iron” Mike Tyson (50-6, 44 KO) , will take on YouTuber turned. professional boxer, Jake “The Problem Child” Paul (10-1, 7 KOs).
While Mike Tyson has been inactive for nearly two decades, his opponent, Jake Paul, has been competing in the ring for the past four years. The highly anticipated Tyson vs. Paul fight will take place on Friday night, November 15, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, streaming live on Netflix.
When we think of Mike Tyson, we think of the man who, at the age of 20, became the youngest boxer to win the heavyweight title. Let’s think about the man who, at the age of 21, collected the other two belts and became the undisputed world champion.
Back in his prime, Mike Tyson was the ultimate combination of speed and power. Tyson used the peek-a-boo style to perfection while dominating the heavyweight division from 1986 to 1990.
Today, Mike Tyson is preparing to face a man who is a former YouTuber and currently a four-year boxing teacher. Going by the namesake, in a hypothetical situation, it is easy to say that Mike Tyson can beat the 27-year-old Jake Paul, but in our current reality it is risky to say because of the date of Tyson’s birth certificate.
Tyson has advantages in the categories of experience and skill, but what worries fight fans the most is the level of endurance of the 58-year-old Tyson. The boxing community’s biggest fear is that Tyson will gas up and stop in the later rounds.
What the boxing community fears is not a real concern in Tyson’s mind because of the health product that is involved. In his latest business venture, Mike Tyson has formed a partnership with LF*GO.
LF*GO is a brand that is on its way to being a game changer in the energy category. It is an oral sachet product in which each sachet contains 200 mg of natural caffeine and six essential vitamins and minerals.
Along with LF*GO President David Cynamon, brand ambassador Mike Tyson recently held a press conference in Las Vegas to talk about LF*GO and his upcoming match with Jake Paul. Tyson said LF*GO keeps him fueled during intense training sessions and his favorite flavor of LF*GO pouches is sour cherry.
During the press conference, Mike Tyson talked about how he was initially a little skeptical about the product until he noticed the impact it had on his training.
“In the beginning, I didn’t think that this thing was true. Once I started to fit with the rest of my supplements and when I go into the ring to shoot, it made a big difference. It helps my concentration, it helps my relaxation, my calmness, and I will continue to use this, even until fight night.”
On the night of November 15, if Tyson is not able to catch Paul with a KO shot first, the resistance of 58 years will become the focal point. However, Tyson is not worried about a stamina problem because he believes in the impact of LF*GO, and he also believes in his overall preparation for the fight.
“I trained a lot harder, and I’m just ready. It’s hard to explain the training methods and things; I’m just ready to fight.”
