Iron Mike Tyson will face off against Jake Paul in November as the legendary boxer makes his return for the first time in four years and nearly two decades on from his last professional fight
The legendary heavyweight is set to make his return to boxing for the first time in four years after taking on Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition bout in 2020. Iron Mike's last professional fight was almost two decades ago however, when he retired on his stool after five rounds against Kevin McBride in 2005.
The boxer is more interested in the risk available to him by taking on Paul in his return to the ring. "I could be waiting on a check every day from cannabis," he said last week while commentating at a Cage Wars MMA event. That clash arose as Paul's fight with Tyson was postponed due to a health issue for the latter. Tyson suffered an ulcer flare-up onboard a flight and was deemed medically unfit to compete.
