How much Mike Tyson is getting paid for Jake Paul fight

The boxing match everyone has been waiting for is nearly upon us, with Mike Tyson making a comeback to the ring for his first official fight in almost two decades against Jake Paul, who transitioned from YouTube fame to boxing. The heavyweight clash will pit the 27 year old internet sensation against the legendary boxer, who is 31 years his senior, in an eight-round contest in Arlington, Texas.

Originally scheduled for July, the bout was delayed after Tyson fell ill on a flight due to an ulcer flare-up. Paul has caused quite a stir in the boxing world since his professional debut in 2020, defeating YouTubers, ex-basketball players, MMA fighters and professional boxers Andre August and Ryan Bourland.

His first defeat came at the hands of Love Island's Tommy Fury in a high-profile fight in Saudi Arabia last year. Tyson, on the other hand, needs no introduction to boxing enthusiasts as he is considered one of the greatest heavyweights ever, boasting 50 wins out of his 58 professional fights, with 44 of those being knockouts.

Known for his aggressive boxing style, he ruled the division for years and maintains a formidable reputation even decades after hanging up his gloves.

The 58 year old has disclosed that he's been 'begged' not to enter the ring for the upcoming bout, yet he remains intent on demonstrating his prowess against a much younger adversary, aiming to prove he's still got the edge. Both fighters are set to receive a hefty payday from the event.
