Mike Tyson can’t keep him out of the news. The focus of every boxing enthusiast is on two major bouts that are approaching in October. Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev compete for the title of light heavyweight champion in the second week of October. Then, an undisputed heavyweight rematch between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk takes place in December.

The fight that will draw in even casual fans is the one that is tucked in between those two. November 15 is the day that Mike Tyson and Jake Paul will finally face one other, four months after it was first planned.
Tyson appears to be in excellent form right now, and his health issue from earlier in the summer appears to have subsided. Paul, on the other hand, is not in the same boat, as he has been flaunting his enormous belly in recent appearances.

Paul just posted a video of Tyson saying that Paul is overweight and past his peak during their summer press conference. Paul claims he’s not obese and that he’s just getting ready for a heavyweight fight while he eats fried chicken.

It is all, of course, a joke. Paul is utilizing a fat costume of some kind as a promotional tool. It’s not entirely apparent what his goals are. Though no one thinks that’s his true shape, he might be trying to fool Tyson by concealing his current muscular frame.
Though it’s unlikely to succeed, at least he has material for social media. Tyson seems totally intent on winning this fight. Tyson was all business even before they squared up at AT&T Stadium prior to a Dallas Cowboys game.
