On April 30, according to a number of authoritative American boxing media, a cross-age battle scheduled to be held on July 20 Mike Tyson VS Jack Paul has announced the rules of the game, this game will be popular in Texas, USA, although the age gap between the two is too large, many people think that this fight is just an exhibition match, joking, but according to the American media, this century battle is an official professional game, and the results of the game are included in the professional record of the two!
Tyson was born on June 30, 1966, and he turned 58 in two months, while Paul is only 27 years old, with a 31-year age difference. Considering that Tyson's last official professional fight dates back 19 years, and the last time he took the ring was in an exhibition bout with Roy Jones in 2020, most industry insiders and fans are concerned about Tyson's health and believe that this fight is unlikely to be an official professional fight.
Eventually, the Texas Boxing Commission approved Tyson and Paul's request to make the bout an official professional fight, but the rules were different from the previous three-minute bout: the two would have an eight-round two-minute bout this time, without helmets, and the gloves used would be changed from 10 ounces to 14 ounces, which would ensure some safety in the fight.
It is worth mentioning that although Paul is known as a "boxing Internet celebrity", in fact, his boxing strength is still good, much stronger than the domestic martial arts Internet celebrity, Paul has participated in 10 professional fights, with a professional boxing record of 9 wins and 1 loss and 6 KOs, in which he has also defeated a number of former UFC and ONE champions, including "Spider-Man" Anderson Silva, and Paul's only loss was to Tyson Fury's younger brother Tommy Fury by points.
Comparatively speaking, Paul has much better physical strength than Tyson, but his weight and sheer strength are not as good as Tyson's, and Tyson's experience is far stronger than Paul's, Tyson played 58 professional fights and fought 215 rounds, while Paul only fought 46 rounds.
In addition, Tyson's ability to play official matches at the age of 58 is undoubtedly the most significant news in professional boxing this year, according to an insider's analysis, Tyson's guaranteed appearance fee + box office share + PPV share will make a profit of 300 million US dollars (about 2.2 billion yuan), surpassing Mayweather VS Pacquiao's income in one fell swoop, and recreating the world record for boxing gold absorption!
As for the outcome of the battle of the century between Tyson and Paul, let's wait and see!
