"The 'Paul Bearers' are ready" - Fans chime-in after Mike Tyson shares ominous prediction for Jake Paul post new fight date announcement

Mike Tyson recently sent an alarming message to Jake Paul in the wake of a revised fight date. The highly anticipated boxing showdown between the boxing legend and 'The Problem Child' has been moved to Friday, Nov. 15.

Initially scheduled to take place on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, the clash was postponed last week due to medical issues concerning Tyson.

'Iron Mike' experienced nausea and dizziness during the last hour of a flight from Miami to Los Angeles last month. Tyson's team attributed the incident to an ulcer problem, stating that he would require light training for several weeks.

Now, with a rescheduled fight date, Tyson recently took to X and reiterated his firm commitment to knock out the YouTuber-turned-boxer:

"Different date, same fate. I'm gonna knock out Jake Paul."

When did Mike Tyson compete in his last professional bout?

The combat sports community has expressed apprehension about the significant 31-year age difference between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, which stands as the largest gap in professional boxing history.

'Iron Mike' hasn’t competed professionally since retiring on his stool during his bout against Kevin McBride in June 2005. However, the heavyweight icon has consistently adhered to a demanding training regimen for many years.

In November 2020, Tyson made a comeback to the boxing ring for an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr., resulting in a draw. His professional record stands at 50-6, including 44 wins by the way of knockout.
