Jake Paul is set to face boxing legend Mike Tyson in a highly anticipated professional bout on November 15, 2024, at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Despite Tyson being 58 years old, the fight has drawn significant attention, with organizers hoping to sell 60,000 tickets for the event. The night will also feature three world-title fights, including the much-awaited rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano. This event marks the first boxing competition to be streamed by Netflix, adding to its excitement.
The Tyson vs. Paul fight has raised eyebrows due to the considerable age difference between the fighters. Tyson, at 58, has not fought professionally since 2005, but he is still an iconic figure in the sport, known for his aggressive fighting style and impressive career.
On the other hand, Paul, at 27, has become a notable figure in the boxing world after transitioning from YouTube stardom to professional boxing. Despite Tyson's extensive experience, Paul enters the fight as the favorite, partly due to his youth, while Tyson's physical condition and long absence from competitive bouts add uncertainty to the matchup.
The rules for the Tyson vs. Paul fight have been adapted to account for Tyson's age. The bout will consist of eight rounds, each lasting only two minutes, and the fighters will wear 14oz gloves instead of the typical 10oz gloves in professional boxing. The match will allow knockouts, and a winner will be declared after the eight rounds. In contrast, the Taylor vs. Serrano rematch will follow standard professional rules, with 10 rounds of two minutes each.
The undercard for the event includes several exciting matchups, such as the undisputed light-welterweight title fight between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, and a WBC welterweight title fight between Mario Barrios and Abel Ramos.
Additionally, Shadasia Green will defend her WBO super-middleweight title, and Lucas Bahdi will face Corey Marksman in a lightweight bout. These bouts are expected to add further drama to an already high-profile event, drawing fans from around the world to witness both the main event and the title fights.
