On July 20 in Arlington, USA, a heavyweight bout (over 90.7 kg) will take place between YouTuber and boxer Jake Paul (9-1, 6 KOs) and former undisputed champion Mike Tyson (50-6, 44 KOs).
Jake commented on the upcoming event and shared his thoughts on Iron Mike.
"This is war. All's fair in love and war. I love this guy, but once it's a professional fight – one of us must die. He takes it very, very seriously, and that's what will make the fight amazing for all the fans.
He's a killer. I'm moving into the heavyweight division, so he'll have a certain advantage, but that's what will make this fight exciting. We both have one-punch knockout power. It's what he was meant to do and was born for.
And he was the one who wanted it to be a professional fight. We were figuring out the rules, and Mike said, 'I want it to be a professional fight. I want to end this guy and stop everything he's doing.' So I agreed to make it a professional fight, and it will be as real as it gets," Jake said.
The fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson will have the status of an official bout, with the result recorded in the athletes' records. The fight is scheduled for 8 rounds of 2 minutes each. Netflix will broadcast the event live.
