Boxing legend Mike Tyson is absolutely devastated ahead of his return against Jake Paul.
The 58-year-old heavyweight will return to the ring for the first time since 2020 later this month. Although his fight with Roy Jones Jr. was an exhibition four years ago, his next fight will be a professional fight. On November 15, live on Netflix, Mike Tyson will clash with Jake Paul.
The boxing match will be the former champion’s first professional bout in almost two decades. His last fight took place in June 2005, where he suffered a stunning loss to journeyman Kevin McBride. Now, at the age of 58, Mike Tyson is preparing for another fight against ‘The Problem Child’.
In the build-up to the bout, Jake Paul has repeatedly mocked the heavyweight’s age. Considering the 31-year age difference between the two, this doesn’t come as a huge surprise. However, Mike Tyson may be in the best shape of his entire career. The heavyweight posted a photo of his physique on Instagram earlier today.

He continued, “I must capture him and slaughter him. No (I don’t fear for him) because he stepped into the ring. When my mother steps into the ring, she has a problem with me. Don’t get in the ring if you don’t want that problem… Jake sometimes believes his own lies. When you’re in a big fight, you have to become delusional and believe that you’re someone you’re not. He’s in big trouble.”
