Mike Tyson has a message for fans worried about his grandfather’s age of 58. Tyson thanks the fans for their concern, but he will still go through with his fight against YouTuber Jake Paul this Friday, November 15.
Tyson says he is a different person now than he was in 2005, because he was using narcotics and drinking back then. He may be kidding himself. The 38-year-old Tyson, who lost Kevin McBride by a sixth round knockout on June 11, he would beat the current 58-year-old version of himself.
Mike Tyson’s net worth is estimated at $10 millionso add to that total nicely after Friday’s fight against Paul, which will be eight times of two minutes with 14-oz gloves. If Tyson wins, that’s great, but that probably won’t happen. Jake is a mediocre fighter, but he’s 27 and has pop in his right hand.
Tyson: A different person
Former unified heavyweight champion Mike Tyson is getting paid $20 million smackers for the fight with Paul on Netflix at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. With the money Tyson is getting for the Jake Paul fight, it may not matter to him if he gets knocked out. Tyson will cry all the way to the bank.
Tyson looked very old in his exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. four years ago on November 28, 2020. I can’t imagine Tyson looking any better on Friday than he did in that match, unless he found out that the Fountain of Youth is aging indie.
“Thank you so much for being concerned, but I know. I’ll be fine. I was a different person. I was using narcotics and alcohol then. I’m not that person anymore. I see a better picture of myself. I see the light. I see the world from a different perspective now ” said Mike Tyson to Manouk Akopyan about how he’s a different person than he was 19 years ago, when he last fought professionally in a sixth-round knockout of Kevin McBride in 2005.
Mike Tyson’s legacy will be tarnished with a knockout loss to Jake Paul, and it will be bad for him afterward. Many fans are already upset about Tyson for how his career ended with losses to Kevin McBride, Danny Williams and Lennox Lewis. But to be beaten by a talentless influencer like Jake will be the worst of the worst.
Fans see Friday’s Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight as trash, and that’s basically what it is. The undercard is also pure garbage, with no convincing fights between the group.
WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios defends against Abel Ramos, a fighter who has lost two of his last three fights. Let that sink in.
