Opposing influencer Jake Paul for one last sporting and lucrative thrill, on the night from Friday to Saturday, Mike Tyson appeared in very good physical condition during his weigh-in.
An improbable poster. At the age of 58, heavyweight legend Mike Tyson returns to the ring for a professional exhibition-style fight against YouTuber Jake Paul (27), on the night of Friday to Saturday, in Texas.
A stunning physique at 58
Supported by the streaming giant Netflix and Jake Paul's promotion company Most Valuable Promotions, the event scheduled around 2 a.m. (French time) continues to divide, between those who see it as an ugly parody and others who are are looking forward to seeing “Iron Mike” get a new (and lucrative) sporting thrill.
Although he has not boxed among the pros since June 2005 and a defeat against the Irishman Kevin McBride, the ex-world champion seems rather sharp and in great shape, as shown in the images of his weigh-in relayed on the social networks, this Thursday. “It’s obvious that he’s good, impressive!”, reacted a user. “I can’t believe he’s 58,” another commented.
His weight has not been communicated, but it should be around 104kg compared to 100 kilos for Jake Paul, who has already fought ten professional fights for nine victories under his belt. The latter will be able to seek the advice of his brother Logan Paul, who had already faced an old ring glory, the American Floyd Mayweather Jr., during an exhibition in June 2021 which ended… without a winner.
For this fight that many consider to be arranged and settled in advance, Mike Tyson and Jake Paul are already guaranteed to each receive a purse of around 38 million euros ($40 million).
