Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson is his most anticipated fight and third of 2024 after three impressive knockouts of Golden Glove winners Andre August and Ryan Bourland and BKFC champion Mike Perry on July 20. Paul has improved as a fighter on his way to becoming a world champion, but he will now face Mike Tyson, one of the best and most dangerous.
“After eating Mike Perry as an appetizer, I’m ready for the main course on Friday, November 15,” remarked Jake Paul. “To fight the biggest baddest boxer ever is a dream for me and a nightmare for Mike Tyson. It’s fantastic to be included at Fanatics Fest with some of the biggest names in sports, and I look forward to giving them a memorable show on Friday, November 15th.”
Mike Tyson is one of the greatest sports stars ever. At 20, the “Baddest Man on the Planet” is ESPN’s #1 hardest hitter in heavyweight history and the youngest heavyweight champion ever. His devastating power and fighting style resulted to 37 straight wins, 33 of them by knockout.
