One of the biggest spectacles in combat sports history Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul has arrived. The fight will take place on Friday at AT&T stadium in Dallas. The question surrounding this fight is not is Jake Paul better than Mike Tyson or how good is Jake Paul? The question is, can a 58 year old Mike Tyson win?
This fight started out as a gimmick. A money grab for Netflix, a fake fight to generate money.
A YouTuber boxer against a 58 year old former boxing great. It still may be all of those things. Nonetheless, this fight is interesting. It is not because of Jake Paul and his development as a boxer. It is interesting because of Mike Tyson.
Nobody expects a 58 year old boxer to be beat a 27 year old boxer just like nobody would expect Jake Paul to compete with a younger Mike Tyson.
This fight is not a normal boxing match; it is a celebrity boxing match that has transcended mainstream culture.
“There’s a fundamental difference between me and Jake. He is a manufactured killer. Televisions and papers made him a killer. He’s manufactured. I’m a natural-born killer.” Tyson stated on Netflix’s documentary about the mega fight.
Millions of people will tune in to watch this fight on Netflix. Netflix’s first-ever boxing event is guaranteed to do huge numbers for the streaming platform.
The highly anticipated showdown between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson is just a Netflix subscription away. The lack of an additional PPV cost makes this one of the most accessible and fan-friendly fights in recent memory.
This fight may have been heavily criticized in the combat sports community. A 58-year-old Mike Tyson should not be in the ring. He is slower, and his body is not built to take the punishing punches he did during his boxing career.
Still, the baddest man on the planet is still in his spirit, and Tyson’s fighting spirit is still with him.
“I will not lose” Tyson shouted at the press conference earlier this week.
We are just hours away from finding out if Mike Tyson can pull off the upset.
