Due to a disrupted training schedule for the officially sanctioned fight – Tyson’s first since 2005 – they are now planning a date later this year, which will be shown on Netflix. Said It will be announced by the end of next week.
Mike Tyson said in a statement, “My body is in the best shape it has been since the 1990s and I will be back on my full training program soon. Jake Paul, this may buy you some time, but ultimately you will be out of boxing forever. I appreciate everyone’s patience and look forward to delivering an unforgettable performance later this year.”
His opponent, the YouTuber turned boxer, said, “My fans know there’s no way I want to face Iron Mike, but make no mistake – when he gets in the ring with me, I’ll be ready to claim victory with a sensational finish. Paul vs. Tyson will be a fight of the ages, and I promise to give my all for this matchup of a lifetime.”
