- Paul should be able to outlast the 58-year-old Tyson in this fight, as Tyson has not been in a competitive fight since 2005.
- Paul has done a great job of hand-picking opponents that look tougher than they are, and Tyson at his current age fits that bill.
As ridiculous as it may sound, the main event in the world of sports on November 15, 2024 will be the boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson from AT&T Stadium. Paul will look to further his aspirations as a pro boxer, while Tyson is in his first pro bout since 2005. Here, we break down Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson and make our boxing betting picks for what will surely be a spectacle, even if the quality of the fight itself could be the biggest question mark of the night.
This fight will be held at AT&T Stadium on November 15, 2024.
Jake Paul
Jake Paul was a YouTube sensation at one point in his life, but has been a professional boxer since his first bout in 2020. Since then, he has knocked out six of his 10 opponents, winning nine of his 10 professional fights. He will look to defeat Mike Tyson here, as Paul has made it clear that he is hoping to one day become a championship-caliber boxer, even if he still has a ways to go in order to achieve that.
Paul has done a masterful job of lining up opponents for himself that are typically not as good as their name would make the casual observer think. Former MMA fighters like Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley look great on a fighter’s resume on paper, but when you consider that striking was not the strong suit of those fighters, there are understandable questions about Paul’s ability as a boxer.
Still, Paul does have some power that needs to be respected in this matchup, especially given Tyson’s age. The longer this fight goes on, the better things should go for Paul, who is younger and in better physical condition. If this bout drags on into the later rounds, that should create openings for Paul to score another knockout against an opponent ill-equipped to prevent it.
Mike Tyson
Mike Tyson enjoyed one of the most storied careers in boxing history. He racked up 50 wins in his career, which we thought was over back in 2005. But Tyson’s career will feature one last competitive fight in this Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson matchup, which he hopes that he can turn into a win despite being an underdog.
The biggest question going into this fight is what, if anything, Tyson has in the tank for this fight. Tyson’s gas tank was a problem in his fights back in the early to mid-2000s. Now he is 58 years old and we could be in for an interesting ending to this bout if he is not able to finish things in the early rounds.
Of course, finishing things in the early rounds is what Tyson was known for as a boxer. He is more than capable of connecting on a punch and putting Paul down for the count. But whether or not he can land that power punch to win this fight at his advanced as is a question we won’t be able to answer until this fight takes place in November.
