The pair were due to fight in July at the AT&T Stadium in what would have been the debut of live on Netflix. But with just weeks to go, the legendary heavyweight champion was forced out of the bout due to a medical emergency. Instead, Paul faced bare knuckle boxer on the initial date, and landed a big knockout to bring his record to 10-1.
The pair then launched a rescheduled November 15 date at Fanatics Fest in New York this evening. Mike Tyson offers positive health update as Jake Paul fight is re-launched At the Jacob K Javits Center in New York on Sunday afternoon, and re-launched their massive showdown, with a new date set for Friday, November 15. The boxing icon appeared much more subdued than in his prime, while Paul played off host Ryan Clark as the event’s heel.
Tyson had previously been forced out after suffering an ulcer flare-up during a flight, with doctors recommending that the 58-year-old take a break from training for the bout. But speaking to Bloody Elbow at today’s press conference, he confirmed that he is back in camp and ready for the new date. “I’m beautiful and I’ve been training,” Tyson replied when asked what his latest medical update was from doctors.
“I’ve been training for a while, two weeks or three weeks and I’m okay to fight...
I’m in camp right now.” Jake Paul goads Mike Tyson in first press conference for new date The event took place in front of a packed theater at the New York venue, with thousands of fans turned away at the door during the final day of the Fanatics Fest. Tyson remained relatively tame, while Paul clearly enjoyed the boos from a hometown crowd for his rival.
While Tyson did predict that the fight would be violent, and that he is going to “f*** him up,” it was Paul who brought the heat on the microphone. He accused the icon of being too afraid to fight him on their initial date among other insults as he declared their friendship over. “You had to go on your little menopause break and postpone the fight,” Paul goaded during an heated face-to-face.
“So yeah, what about that, dog? I was ready before, you needed a little break, does your tummy hurt?” Mike Tyson looked ‘ready to fight’ in recent Los Angeles outing Tyson maintained his public appearances while away from fight camp, and was spotted at a number of celebrity outings during his show. And after the new date was announced as well as this press conference, he was seen earlier this month at the Terence Crawford vs Israil Madrimov. He sat ringside with Turki Alalshikh, whose Riyadh Season put on their first Los Angeles event.
And , radio host ‘Big Boy’ Kurt Alexander confirmed that he was looking in fight shape on the night. “I think he’s always ready to fight,” Big Boy said of Tyson. “He was ready to fight tonight! Hell yeah I would go watch Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson.
That’s one of the Jake fights I would go to. I love Jake, he was so good with my family I would never say nothing bad about that brother.”.
