For the first time since the historic fight on Netflix was rescheduled, Jake Paul and the baddest man on the planet, Mike Tyson, faced off.
Paul vs. Tyson is scheduled to be an 8-round professional fight with two-minute rounds. It will take place at the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys, on Friday, November 15, 2024, and will be streamed live worldwide on Netflix.
Paul and Tyson spoke at length about the impending fight at a press conference, and their remarks went viral on social media.
Compared to his previous character, Tyson was rather calm, while Paul incited the New York audience as well as him.

Paul recently called out UFC champion Alex Pereira and said a fight against Mike Tyson was a step toward winning a boxing title.
« I’m here to challenge myself. He’s vicious. He’s a killer. I know all that.
He has the power of a punch to knock out. He is the greatest heavyweight of all time. But I will prove all the haters wrong.
All that, and that’s why I love Mike. I respect him, but we’re not friends anymore until November 15th.
I’m gonna knock this son of a bitch out and we’ll see who’s dead. ” said Jake Paul.

« Listen, as soon as I catch this guy, it’s over. He’s going to run around the ring, but as soon as I catch this guy, it’s totally over.
I am very prepared. I had a little adversity. By the way, I got sick, but I feel good.
I’m just ready. I’m gonna make my speech and I’m gonna say my shit, but I’m ready to fight. ” said Mike Tyson.
However, when the two clashed, things turned violent as the local hero tried to be funny by moving slightly, and they had to be separated while pushing each other.
The viral statement was when Paul said he would discipline Tyson like a son.
During the press conference, Mike Tyson chose to respond succinctly to Jake Paul’s derogatory remarks rather than getting too involved.
When he spoke, however, the packed audience responded with a resounding cheer that seemed to be almost exclusively in favor of the boxing icon.
But as Paul and Tyson engaged in a heated exchange over media questions, the former heavyweight champion struck out first jokingly, then more forcefully.
