Mike Tyson 'offered money not to fight' Jake Paul in brutal response

Former undisputed heavyweight world champion Mike Tyson has revealed that his wealthy friends have offered him money to pull out of his upcoming fight with Jake Paul.

The 58-year-old is set for a remarkable return to the boxing ring on November 15 to take on the YouTuber-turned-boxer. The highly-anticipated bout is due to be held at AT&T Stadium in Texas, with the potential to attract up to 80,000 fans. Originally, 'Iron Mike' was expected to face 'The Problem Child' earlier this year but had to postpone due to an ulcer issue during a flight.

Despite the delay, Tyson confirms that he will be ready to enter the ring on Friday. However, there are worries about Tyson's health, especially considering the significant age difference of 31 years between him and Paul.

Renowned boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has expressed that he will be there at AT&T Stadium to support Katie Taylor in her much-awaited rematch against Amanda Serrano but will not stick around for the main event. He told BBC Sport: "We received a massive offer for Katie. I'm not going to tell her she's not allowed to fight on that card. Financially it's the biggest purse of her career. I won't be watching the main event. We'll be there defending the belts, and then I'll be off".

Eddie Hearn isn't the only one casting doubt on the heavyweight bout. Exclusive footage from Tyson's training camp was unveiled on Paul's Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) YouTube channel, offering a sneak peek at his preparations for the forthcoming match, reports Wales Online.
