One of the bouts that will go down in professional boxing history is coming up on November 15. While Jake Paul is eagerly awaiting Mike Tyson and rubbing his hands with the prospect of beating the boxing icon in a packed arena, Tyson’s recuperation appears to be progressing apace.
The guidelines for Jake Paul and Mike Tyson fight
When the professional boxing match governed by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation was established, Mike finally got his wish. The terms of the Tyson-Paul fight were released in May of last year. Despite Paul being a cruiserweight, it will be a heavyweight fight with eight two-minute rounds.
This is the exact moment that double world champion Timothy Bradley thinks Tyson has the upper hand over Paul because Tyson might use his explosiveness to knock out the young YouTuber in the opening few rounds:
“I think Tyson is going to knock him out fast. At first I didn’t think so but when I saw the rules there was no doubt in my mind.
“By knockout, I’m sure it will be by knockout. It’s only two minutes instead of three. There is no doubt in my mind. Think about it, he’s going to come out like a whirlwind, like he always has; he’s going to corner him, he’s going to close him off with his body and he’s going to take him out. He’s got everything in his favor to knock Paul out of the game at the drop of a hat. You know that power is the last thing to go and Tyson has everything in his favor in two minutes”,
After their battle was postponed, the two will finally meet tomorrow, August 18, and with only three months to go before the fight, fireworks are sure to fly. One of the biggest sporting events of the year will take place in New York at the Fanatics Fest.

The final result of the battle will be decided by the slightly shorter format, which is intended to equal the age and fitness gap.
