Boxing icon Mike Tyson will return to the ring after a 19-year hiatus, facing the popular YouTuber Jake Paul in a highly anticipated showdown at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Saturday, November 16.
Tyson, who has not fought since June 11, 2005, when he faced Kevin McBride, will be stepping back into the ring at the age of 58. That previous bout ended in a sixth-round retirement, despite Tyson holding a lead on two of the judges` scorecards, marking the end of his storied career at the time.
The lead-up to this clash has been filled with drama, including a tense pre-fight face-off in which Tyson slapped Paul, leaving the 26-year-old YouTuber visibly shaken. The incident required intervention from security to prevent the confrontation from escalating further. Tyson, known for his ferocious power (50 wins, 6 losses, 44 knockouts), will look to prove that he can still command the spotlight in the ring, even at 58 years old.
Meanwhile, Paul, who has made a name for himself by fighting former UFC fighters, has a professional record of 10-1 with 7 knockouts, although his unbeaten streak was snapped earlier this year when he lost to British boxer Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia.
