The event promises to be a clash of generations, bringing together two boxing legends: the former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson and the rising internet star Jake Paul.
Mike Tyson has 50 wins (44 KOs) and 6 losses. He was the youngest world heavyweight champion when he defeated Jamaica’s Trevor Berbick to win the World Boxing Council belt in 1986. He remained champion until 1990, but surprisingly lost to James Buster Douglas. After spending three years (1992-1995) in prison for rape, he regained the title by defeating Frank Bruno in 1996. He lost to Evander Holyfield that same year and never became champion again. He had his chance in 2002 but lost to Lennox Lewis.
Jake Paul is an internet star who tried his hand at boxing. He beats deadpan fighters, but he knows how to promote his fights and has a loyal audience that guarantees him a lot of money. His most notable win was against Brazilian MMA star Anderson Silva. His only loss in 10 fights was to the more senior Englishman Tommy Fury.
