Tyson and the YouTube sensation were primed for a showdown in the ring on July 20, but the former heavyweight champion, Tyson, who has resumed training since the health scare, pulled no punches, claiming, “I don’t think he can hurt me.” While fans might have fretted over the 58-year-old’s health, he’s showing no signs of worry or weakness, gearing up for his first pro duel since retiring.
“This is all I started fighting for: to get all this f–king status. I’m going to be chasing it for the rest of my life, I know that. I’m never going to get what I want, because I’m one of those gluttons for pain. I can never get enough,” Tyson told Esquire. Paul, boasting a 9-1 pro-boxing record since his debut in 2018, understands he’s diving headfirst into a high-stakes gamble against “The Baddest Man on the Planet.” Despite being at the top of his boxing career, the 28-year-old’s experience pales in comparison to Tyson’s legendary resume.. “I think I am crazy for this; I definitely am because I don’t think anyone would take the risk in this position, but that’s just what makes me different.
“He’s Mike Tyson at the end of the day. He has lethal knockout power and is very, very experienced. I think it is going to be a brawl regardless.”In place of the originally scheduled bout, Paul and former UFC fighter Mike Perry will fight at the Amalie Arena in Tampa. Paul vs. Tyson, taking place at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, will take place over eight two-minute rounds.Inside the WNBA's new game-changing deal — and what could happen nextSportsfile via Getty Images
