On July 20, the former world heavyweight champion, the legendary Mike Tyson, and the YouTuber-turned-professional boxer, Jake Paul, were supposed to clash, but the fight was canceled due to Tyson’s renewed ulcer. However, the 27-year-old wrestler still entered the ring on Saturday, fighting former UFC and bare-handed fighter Mike Perry at the Amalie Arena in Tampa.
During the match, Paul was the more proactive and accurate, he sent his opponent to the floor three times, and in the 6th round he knocked him out thanks to a quick punch combination.
“He fought hard, I’m sorry it took so long.
Mike Tyson, you’re next! I can’t wait for that game. I love you Mike, but this is my sport. You’re a legend, but I’m about to dethrone you
– he messaged Tyson, who is 30 years older than him, after his victory Paul.
According to reports, the clash between the two wrestlers will take place on November 15, and the venue will remain the AT&T NFL Stadium in Arlington. Since the stadium of the Texas NFL team, the Dallas Cowboys, has a retractable roof, they can host the fall game without any problems.
Since his illness in May, Tyson reassured everyone that he is better and is looking forward to the fight against Jake Paul, and even sent a message to his opponent, who is thirty years younger than him, on his social media page.
The date has changed, but the result will not. I’m going to knock out Jake Paul
– said the former heavyweight world champion back in June.
