Mike Tyson makes his return to the boxing ring tonight against Jake Paul.
The world will undoubtedly be watching the events inside AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, as the former two-time heavyweight champion of the world lace up his gloves once more.
Many people have different ideas about how seriously Tyson is taking the fight. Many people have called the event nothing more than a freak show, even though he has been training to look ripped and looked strong on the scales on Thursday night.
The younger Paul is, the younger Tyson is. Tyson has not fought in a real fight in a long time.
Nearly twenty years have passed since “Iron Mike” quit boxing. He quit on his stool against Irish heavyweight Kevin McBride in 2005.
His health suddenly got worse on a flight between Miami and Los Angeles, so the fight that was supposed to happen in July was moved to November.
Any worries about Tyson’s health have been put to rest, and he has even hinted at a full-time return to boxing.
It is hard to believe, but millions of people will be watching to see what the 58-year-old can still do.
How much is Mike Tyson getting paid to fight Jake Paul?
It is also hard to ignore the money that is at stake.
While it is hard to say for sure how much Tyson will make from the fight, UFC legend Henry Cejudo is good friends with the boxer and used to host a podcast with him.
In March, he said that the 58-year-old was likely to make around $20 million, which is about £15.4 million.
