TysonVsJ.Paul: Real Reason Why Mike Tyson Agreed To Fight Jake Paul

Former heavyweight boxing champion, Iron Mike Tyson at 58 years of age steps into the ring and with no apparent financial problems as it were, one of the most iconic heavyweight champions in boxing history, decided to fight an influencer turned professional boxer in recent years.

Paul’s reasons for facing the sledgehammer blow of Tyson’s fists can perhaps be explained: the 27-year-old wants to gain fame and continue to add millions to his wealth, but what about Tyson?

He’s the owner of a cannabis company (Tyson 2.0), Tyson adds a good amount of dollars to his bank account every day, it is estimated that Iron Mike’s net worth is around $10 million, while his earnings from this fight, regardless of the final result, could amount to around $20 million.

After almost 20 years of not stepping into a ring, Mike Tyson faced Jake Paul at AT&T Stadium, in a fight that attracted as much attention as few in recent years.

The 27-year-old Paul defeated the 58-year-old Tyson by unanimous decision after the two fighters went eight full rounds, with each round two minutes long. Tyson came out strong but faded as the fight went along, while Paul gained confidence and appeared to have Tyson on his heels for the final few rounds. Tyson said on X after the fight,”This is one of those situations when you lost but still won. I’m grateful for last night. No regrets to get in ring one last time.”
