Mike Tyson throws ferocious punches in open workout for Jake Paul boxing match

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson are just two days away from one of the biggest and most controversial fights in years, as they prepare to square off in Dallas.

And ahead of their officially-sanctioned, professional bout, the Americans will share a stage at Toyota Factory on Wednesday night (13 November), with each man set to talk up his chances of winning – amid conflicting predictions in the boxing world.

On Tuesday, 58-year-old Tyson and YouTube star Paul, 27, conducted an open workout in the Music Factory, with the former heavyweight champion taking an aggressive approach. His speed and power look to have waned somewhat, but Tyson seemed focused as his fight with Paul edges closer – four months after it was first due to take place, before Tyson suffered an ulcer flare-up on a flight.

Barring any late issues, the bout is finally set to go ahead on Friday (15 November), at Texas’s AT&T Stadium: home to the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys. And the fight, in an unprecedented move, will stream live on Netflix.

Follow the press conference live below.

Jake Paul reveals ‘numb’ reaction to Mike Tyson pulling out of boxing fight

And here’s how Paul felt about Tyson’s withdrawal from the fight in May:

“When I received the news that he was out and not able to fight, I was just numb. I was just like, ‘f***…’ I’m the type of person who likes a schedule and likes to know what I’m doing. This just threw a wrench in all of that. There was nothing I could do, it was out of my control.”

Mike Tyson threw up blood on plane before Jake Paul fight was cancelled

Some of the concern for Tyson’s health stems not only from his age, but also from his health scare in late May.

The 58-year-old suffered an ulcer flare-up on a flight, forcing his bout with Paul to be delayed from July until this week.

And Tyson recently revealed that he was throwing up blood on the plane, when he went through his health scare.

Jake Paul reveals next fight after Mike Tyson: ‘It makes so much sense’

Jake Paul is adamant he will fight Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez following his bout with Mike Tyson on Friday.

Paul, who is now 10-1 with seven knockouts and whose only defeat was on points to Tommy Fury, believes a cruiserweight bout against Alvarez for a version of the world title can be agreed for 2025.

“This moment will prove that I’m the face of boxing,” Paul said. “The largest attraction, and me vs Canelo at 200lbs for the cruiserweight world title is the biggest fight.”

Why is Paul vs Tyson on Netflix? What fight means for future of live sport

“Live on Netflix.” You’ll hear those words a lot this week, as Mike Tyson and Jake Paul meet in one of the most controversial fights in recent memory. But as novel as those words are, they may represent the norm in the coming months and years.

Let’s start with the exposition. Netflix has been a game-changer in the consumption of film and television over the last decade, and the American streaming giant is now seeking to have the same impact in the world of sport. Launched in 1998, Netflix’s first major boom took place between 2007 and 2011, as its subscriber numbers soared from 6m to 23m. But it felt like Netflix really became a staple in living rooms and on laptops worldwide in the mid-2010s, with the release of its first original output: the award-winning, US remake of House Of Cards.

Since then, numerous series like Squid Game, Stranger Things, Money Heist and Bridgerton have further shown Netflix’s ability to produce craved art and content (although the platform’s original films have not impressed in the same way), seeing a growth to 282.7m subscribers as of late 2024.

And Netflix’s next move? Committing to live sport.
