Who is Big Mo? Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight announcer set to become the next Michael Buffer

Expect a cavalcade of stars as Mike Tyson prepares to take on Jake Paul. Stepping into the global spotlight as the ring announcer is Kody 'Big Mo' Mommaerts, during the blockbuster event broadcast live on Netflix.

As 58 year old Tyson eyes a victory that defies his age against the much younger, Youtuber-turned-boxer Paul, the boxing world is abuzz with both anticipation and scepticism given the 31-year age difference. Tyson is raring to go in his first professional bout since 2005, while Paul boasts an impressive 10-1 record in the sport.

The Netflix team bringing the fight to screens will feature well-known personalities. Joining lead presenter Kate Scott (nee Abdo) in the studio will be former world champ Andre Ward, and seasoned commentator Mauro Ranallo will deliver play-by-play ringside alongside boxing royalty Roy Jones Jr.

Amir Tyson, the son of Mike Tyson, is slated to provide commentary for the undercard matches.

Notably absent, however, will be Michael Buffer's legendary line "Let's get ready to rumble"; instead, it's Kody 'Big Mo' Mommaerts, 29 years old with an eye-catching persona and a well-crafted 'Big Mo' brand, who'll be commanding the main event's announcements, reports the Mirror.

Who exactly is Kody 'Big Mo' Mommaerts?

Having been raised by his single father in Louisville, Colorado, Mommaerts admits to a childhood clouded by social awkwardness. It was during high school that he found his stride as an offensive lineman in American Football, advancing to Division One at the University of Northern Colorado and studying Business Marketing.

Mommaerts first stepped into the role of announcer during his university years at an athletic awards ceremony. He subsequently teamed up with Denver's Sparta promotion
