He is a character that needs no introduction, but younger fans can only be reminded that at the age of 20 he became the youngest heavyweight champion in history, which he will probably never beat again. Tyson fought 56 fights in professional rings, 50 of which he won, 44 of which were early. He left the professional ring in 2005 after losing ahead of time to Kevin McBride. . And although he is 55 years old, it still electrifies the fans. There is talk of his next box office match.
“Tyson and Jake Paul are finalizing a deal for a show fight in Las Vegas that could bring them a total of $ 49 million. The pay-per-view match would take place in late 2022,” The Sun reports.
Who is Jake Paul?
He is a very famous Youtuber whose account on the site is subscribed by over 20 million users. He also starred in the series Bizaardvark, an American sitcom for Disney. He has been making money from fights for some time.
In August 2018, Paul had his first amateur boxing fight. The rival of the American, who won in the 5th round, was Briton Deji Olatunji. In January 2019, Paul became more serious about boxing, but his fights were still classified as “freaky”.
In the first professional match, the American defeated another Youtuber – AnEsonGib in the first round. A few months later, Paul only needed two rounds to deal with former NBA basketball player Nat Robinson.
In April 2021, Paul was shocked by defeating in the 1st round wrestler and former UFC mixed martial artist Ben Askren. In August, the American turned out to be better on points than Tyron Woodley, former UFC welterweight champion!
In December 2021, Paula was to face the most difficult task in her boxing career so far. The rival of the American was to be Tommy Fury (7-0), the unbeaten half-brother of the heavyweight champion – Tyson Fury, undefeated in professional rings. The fight did not take place, however, because Fury withdrew from it due to a chest infection and a broken rib. Instead of Fury, Paul had a rematch fight with Woodley. While the result of the first fight could be taken as a surprise, the rematch ended with a sensational, heavy knockout.
