Mike Tyson is set to face Jake Paul in a matter of weeks, with the legendary former heavyweight champion returning to the ring at the age of 58 to take on the YouTube star
Former undisputed heavyweight world champion Mike Tyson has revealed that his wealthy friends have offered him money to pull out of his upcoming fight with Jake Paul.
Renowned boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has expressed that he will be there at AT&T Stadium to support Katie Taylor in her much-awaited rematch against Amanda Serrano but will not stick around for the main event. He told BBC Sport: "We received a massive offer for Katie. I'm not going to tell her she's not allowed to fight on that card. Financially it's the biggest purse of her career. I won't be watching the main event.
"They said, 'Don't fight, I give you money'. 'You f****** crazy?'" Tyson's comeback follows a serious health scare that caused the initial fight date to be delayed.
