Mike Tyson’s wife speaks out about 57-year-old husband accepting Jake Paul fight

By

Tyson is making a boxing comeback against social media sensation Paul in the summer and he is training hard for the fight according to his wife, Lakiha Spicer

UFC boss Dana White is confident Mike Tyson is preparing for his Jake Paul fight properly after speaking with the boxing legend’s wife.

Mike Tyson will take on Jake Paul

Boxing icon ‘Iron Mike’ is preparing for a comeback fight against social media star Jake Paul on July 20 at the 80,000 seat AT&T Stadium in Texas. Tyson will be 58 by the time he steps foot in the ring and there is a 30-year age gap between him and Paul, who wasn’t even born when ‘Iron Mike’ had a record of 45-2.

Although UFC boss White admitted he doesn’t want to see Tyson still fight, he is glad to hear the ring legend is taking it seriously. “I love Mike Tyson and I’m not a fan of anybody fighting at our age, but he’s a grown man obviously and he’s going to do what he’s going to do. I talked to his wife a couple of days ago and he’s taking it serious and he’s training for it,” White told Lex Fridman.

“I think Mike Tyson is one of the most unique guys who have crossed over, any of the other fighters from his generation have no way of making money without fighting and Mike Tyson has made a lot of money outside of fighting. Tyson still has that aura that you could be in a restaurant, you’d be like ‘Holy f***, Mike Tyson is here.’

“He still has that aura and energy in a room, he makes lots of money outside of the ring but I think he ends up getting these offers that he can’t refuse.” Paul has a professional record of 9-1 and his third fight took place on the undercard of Tyson’s last outing, an exhibition against Roy Jones Jr. in November 2020.

Paul recently ditched mega-fights against popular opponents in a bid to build up his record, knocking out unknown boxers Andre August and Ryan Bourland in his last two fights. White mocked Paul by bringing up the influencer’s only defeat to Love Island star Tommy Fury and jokingly said he will fight Clint Eastwood after his bout with Tyson.

“Jake Paul did fight a kid his age and he lost. I just saw this thing on the internet yesterday and I reposted it where it says if he beats Mike Tyson he’s going to fight with Clint Eastwood next, Clint Eastwood is 93 years old,” White told Henry Cejudo and Kamaru Usman on the Pound 4 Pound podcast.

Mike Tyson gave a shocking response after Deontay Wilder claimed he could KO him in his prime

By

Mike Tyson gave a typically humble response after Deontay Wilder claimed he would “kick the hell” out of a prime version of ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’.

Wilder, who slumped to a unanimous decision in his last fight against Joseph Parker after he survived a barrage of overhand rights and left hooks, previously bragged about the idea of beating a younger ‘Iron’ Mike.

Back in 2018, when TMZ specifically asked then-WBC heavyweight champion Wilder if he would stand a chance against Tyson, he responded: “Yes.”

‘The Bronze Bomber’ then went on to claim that he fears no heavyweight, past or present.

“Me vs Tyson in ’86, I’d kick the hell outta that guy,” he said without hesitation. “Listen, I’ve got to keep it real. I know people always go back to the old school or look at the new school and there’s no school where I’m not No 1 on Earth.”

Two years later and Tyson, who will fight Jake Paul later this year, responded to Wilder’s bold claim.

Speaking to TNT Sports, he said he was unsure if the Alabama-born fighter would have beaten him but admired the 38-year-old’s confidence.

“I don’t know [whether I’d beat him],” Tyson said. “I love the fact that he thinks that, because that’s the way I would think as well.

“He’s supposed to think that way, he is the heavyweight champion of the world and that’s something very special.”

Tyson certainly remained humble in front of the BT cameras but back in 2018, he was once again asked if Wilder could have beaten him in a fight.

“I don’t think so,” he replied.

Former British heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis was far more vocal in his response to Deontay Wilder’s comments.

“I just heard Deontay Wilder said he would destroy a young Mike Tyson,” he said.

“My thoughts are that it’s easy to talk until you actually get in the ring. I like Wilder but he’s never been in there with someone that ferocious who truly wants to break his ribs with every punch. I don’t see it.

“I love Wilder’s confidence… you need that to sit atop the heavyweight division… he’s hungry and shows up in probably best shape in division… but there’s levels to it… and he’s still adding to his arsenal.

“My best advice to the entire crop of young heavyweight champs is to focus on being the best of YOUR era! Out of respect and reality. It’s unprovable. Of course people asked, but I found no need to speculate or compare myself to my idol Ali or any other of the past greats.”

Lewis added: “History will decide your place among the all time greats… so go out there, clean up the division, defend your title, reign supreme and your work will speak for itself.”

Mike Tyson didn’t hesitate when naming the only boxer who could take his full punch power

By

One of the greatest heavyweights of all time has made his feelings clear.

Mike Tyson is one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all-time and dominated the sport for much of the 1980s and 1990s.

Tyson had a total of 58 professional boxing bouts between 1985 and 2005 in a career which spanned three decades and came to a conclusion as he approached his 39th birthday.

In that time, Tyson chalked up 50 wins and just six losses, with an astounding 44 victories on knockout as he demonstrated his stopping power in the ring.

Evander Holyfield beat Tyson twice in the 1990s in back to back defeats, while Briton Lennox Lewis knocked out Iron Mike at a contest in 2002.

Buster Douglas, Danny Williams and Kevin McBride were the other three fighters to have knocked out Tyson in his professional career.

But neither of these three, nor Holyfield or Lewis, were once named by Tyson as the opponent who could live with his punches.

That accolade goes to Jose Ribalta, whom Tyson fought in his 26th bout at the age of just 20 in August 1986.

Tyson won that bout with a technical knockout in the 10th round at the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City in New Jersey.

The victory was a remarkable 26 without loss for Tyson, who only lost his first professional fight in 1990 when he took on Douglas in what was then his 38th bout, having been the undisputed world heavyweight champion between then and 1987.

Speaking back in 2014 to Ring TV in a Q&A, Tyson felt that Ribalta was the one fighter who was able to take his punches as he believes the opponent had the best chin and was the strongest he faced.

He said: “I hit Jose Ribalta with everything, and he took everything and kept coming back for more.

“Jose Ribalta stood toe to toe with me. He was very strong in the clinches.”

Jake Paul will be the next boxer to feel Tyson’s power when face each other on July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington.

 

Speaking ahead of the upcoming showdown against Tyson – also known as ‘Iron Mike’ – Paul said: “I idolised Mike Tyson until the first time I met him 4 years ago…he called me Logan. Going to make sure he knows who I am real close and personal.”

Ryan Garcia Claims He Could Knockout Prime Floyd Mayweather: What’s he thinking?

By

The rising star of boxing Ryan Garcia hung out with retired legend Floyd Mayweather on several occasions. Back in January this year, ‘KingRy’ even went on a run with Mayweather on the streets of Las Vegas. This friendly relationship brewing between the two poured gasoline on the already fierce rivalry between Mayweather Promotions and Golden Boy Promotions. It even raised concerns about the relationship between Garcia and his promoter Oscar De La Hoya being permanently fractured.

De La Hoya and Mayweather are long-time foes, and their bad blood dates back to their contentious fight in 2007. The former six-division world champion suspected foul play when Garcia was spotted with his nemesis, Mayweather, so many times. He warned ‘Money’ against having an influence on Garcia’s business decisions by acting as his promoter. In response, ‘KingRy’ came to Mayweather’s defense, claiming that he was just ‘mentoring’ him. In that context, De La Hoya didn’t mind Floyd giving tips to improve Garcia’s in-ring skills. However, after spending time working out, and training together, Garcia claimed in a recent X Spaces conversation that he’d knock out Mayweather.

Ryan Garcia believes he’d dominate ‘prime’ Floyd Mayweather
In a conversation on X, Ryan Garcia was asked who he believed, among the classic boxers, that he’d knock out in their prime. His options were Mike Tyson, Sugar Ray Leonard, and Floyd Patterson. Well, Garcia ignored the list and claimed that he’d knock ‘prime’ Floyd Mayweather out in a boxing fight.

Garcia said, “I honestly in their prime, I believe I could knock out Floyd Mayweather.” Well, this shocked the person who asked the question, since he took the name of Floyd Patterson, while Garcia misheard it to be Floyd Mayweather. Still, this shocked the panel, considering that he seemed to have a great relationship with ‘Money’.

The rift in their friendship might have been caused by Mayweather instigating Garcia to fight Rolly Romero which did not materialize eventually.

Garcia admits to being influenced by Floyd Mayweather
Before booking the Haney fight, Garcia skimmed through a plethora of opponents. When negotiations were all but finalized with Devin Haney, a meeting with his inner circle and a chat with the legendary Floyd Mayweather Jr. sent his initial plans of fighting Haney for a toss.

He stated, “I’m in Vegas, I’m having a great time, I’m hanging out with Floyd… Floyd’s pretty influential, he’s like ‘Why would you do that, why don’t you you fight Rolly for the belt and then fight Devin Haney?’… And then I made a quick decision, I said ‘Floyd, that makes sense, I’ll go get another belt’.”

In the end, Rolly Romero ended up choosing Isaac Cruz over Ryan Garcia, and Garcia had to fall back to fighting Devin Haney.

What are your thoughts about the dynamics between Garcia and Mayweather? Let us know in the comments section.

Mike Tyson makes abrupt career announcement after agreeing Jake Paul fight

By

Mike Tyson has announced a major change to his schedule as he continues with his preparations ahead of fighting Jake Paul in a highly-anticipated boxing match.

Boxing legend Mike Tyson has made a surprise announcement ahead of his fight with Jake Paul in Texas later this year. The former world heavyweight champion has decided to stop recording his ‘Hotboxin’ podcast’ as he gets ready for the big match at AT&T Stadium.

Mike Tyson has admitted something has to give

‘Iron Mike’, as he’s known by his army of fans, will be back in the ring on July 20 to take on social media star Paul in a major come back bout nearly two decades after his retirement. The rules of the fight are still undisclosed but we know that neither man will be wearing headgear and they want it to count as a professional fight.

Now, Tyson has chosen to stop making his podcast, which he started two years ago with co-host Sebastian Joseph-Day as he commits to a grueling schedule to get ready for the bout. In recent days, ‘Kid Dynamite’ has delighted fans with his enthusiastic training displays – having posted videos of his preparations on social media.

Announcing his decision, he admitted: “Ladies and gentlemen, these are my final recordings of Hotboxin’. I really enjoyed being part of this journey and all of the people that I met, the remarkable people that I met, in interviews. This is my next chapter in life, please enjoy the following social on my website for my next venture. I love you all.”

Tyson’s podcast has saw him pit his wits opposite a host of famous guests over the last two years, like UFC commentator Joe Rogan and WWE star The Undertaker – real name Mark Calaway. However, the former heavyweight world champion is going to concentrate on getting ready for his fight against Paul.

Meanwhile, the veteran star has been accused of “faking” his viral training videos in recent weeks – with his trainer Rafael Cordeiro having slammed critics who say the 57-year- old is not ready for the fight. Cordeiro believes Tyson will be able to handle himself just fine against Paul despite the massive 30-year age gap between them.

“After first seeing him, it messed with my shoulder,” Cordeiro said on The MMA Hour as he offered some rare insight into what it is like to train with a bona fide legend of the sport, continuing: “I couldn’t hold mitts for at least six, seven months with my boys in the gym.

“My right shoulder was a big, big mess, and I stopped for a while to take care of my shoulder and do physical therapy,” he continued. “Sometimes, I say 1-2-3, and he’s already inside. If I don’t move back, oh lord. It’s impossible. I have to move back.”

“I believe people don’t have to be concerned. We’re talking about a guy who was a two-time champ. The guy didn’t have 20 fights in two years. He knows how to fight. He fought against the best guys in the world. When he steps inside the ring, he knows what to do. It’s not something new for Mike, and this fight is no different.”

Roy Jones Jr Reveals Only ‘Chance’ Jake Paul Has Against Mike Tyson: When I Boxed Him in 2020

By

The Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul which was initially predicted to be an exhibition bout, has now been upgraded to a professional fight under the auspice of the Texas Boxing Commission. Amidst the growing anticipation, Roy Jones Jr. who thought he had “made a mistake” when he agreed to fight Tyson in an exhibition bout in November 2020, also came forth to provide his verdict on what the fight may look like come July 20.

In a video shared by IBA – Boxing on social media today, Roy Jones Jr. revealed the only way ‘The Problem Child’ can win the fight. Jones Jr. said, “It’s very intriguing how it may turn out because Jake Paul has gotten a lot better as a boxer over the days.” However, ‘Captain Hook’ cautioned Paul about overlooking Tyson’s power because of his age. He claimed, “Mike Tyson, even at 57, 58, however old he is, he [is] still Mike Tyson. When I boxed him in [2020], he [was] still punching like Mike Tyson.”

The former champion from Pensacola even seemed confident that if Tyson connected a clean shot to Paul’s chin, there was no way Paul would be able to withstand the sheer power behind Mike’s punch. Jones Jr. revealed the perfect game plan for ‘The Problem Child,’ and said, “If Jake stays away from him for four or five rounds, then Jake has a chance.”

In 2020, Tyson stepped into the ring after 15 years, when he fought against Jones Jr. They fought to a draw with eight two-minute rounds. However, a few months before the fight, the 55-year-old boxer felt that he made a mistake in agreeing to fight Tyson. In an interview with Skysports, Jones Jr. said, “He’s still Mike Tyson. He’s still one of the strongest, most explosive people who ever touched a boxing ring. If anything, I made a mistake going in with him. He’s the bigger guy, he’s the explosive guy. He’s going to have all the first-round fireworks, not me.”

‘Captain Hook’ further added, “I do have first-round fireworks, but he’s known for more first-round fireworks than anybody to ever touch boxing, other than maybe George Foreman. With him having the first-round fireworks, he’ll be against a guy smaller than him, maybe 40-50 pounds smaller than him.”

Similarly, now Jones highlighted that Paul would have to do a lot of maneuvering to follow this plan and win the fight. While Jones Jr. has approved of the fight despite the 30-plus-year age gap, concerns have arisen due to a doctor’s warning to Tyson.

Mike Tyson is in danger if he fights Paul
After the fight was officially confirmed earlier this month, fans and pundits cautioned Tyson about the potential health concerns. This was escalated when an old clip of Tyson from 2022 surfaced online where he was spotted using a cane to walk. A statement from Stephen Hughes, Senior Lecturer in Medicine at Anglia Ruskin University, highlighted the concerning reality of the fight. “In older people, the brain tends to lose volume. This lengthens the bridging veins and makes them more vulnerable to rupture. Alcoholism is known to accelerate brain shrinkage, and it appears that Tyson has this as a past risk factor,” wrote Hughes.

However, Mike Tyson hasn’t been bothered by such reports. Instead, he took to X and shared a short clip of his training sessions along with a message to his opponent, “You still wanna f*** with me? #PaulTyson.”

Canelo Alvarez absolutely rips into Mike Tyson for accusing him of disrespecting Mexican boxing

By

Canelo Alvarez aimed a ruthless dig at Mike Tyson.

Canelo Alvarez did not hold back when he was asked about Mike Tyson following his damning comments over a proposed fight against David Benavidez.

Canelo, who is undisputed champion at super-middleweight, was briefly linked with a fight against Benavidez before opting to face Jaime Munguia.

The boxing superstar came face-to-face with the unbeaten 27-year-old in last night’s kick-off press conference in Los Angeles, California.

After the presser, the 33-year-old spoke to reporters on the red carpet and was asked about Tyson’s claim.

Tyson, who is set to face Jake Paul on July 20, accused Canelo of disrespecting the legacy of Mexican boxing by not agreeing to fight Benavidez.

“I can’t believe what I just heard,” the 57-year-old said.

“What’s wrong with Canelo? Is he afraid of losing? Doesn’t he want to give the fans the fight they want to see? Don’t you want to give the fans the fight they want to see?

“Do you not respect the legacy of the great Mexican champions who faced the best regardless of the money?” He asked. “This is a shame for boxing and for Mexico. If I were him, I would accept the fight with Benavidez and show the world that he is the best.

“But it seems he doesn’t have the courage to do it; It is a shame because he has a lot of talent, but he lacks heart.”

Well, Canelo has now responded, and he’s pulled no punches as he aimed a ruthless dig at the former world heavyweight champion.

Asked if he respects Tyson’s opinion after he called for him to fight Benavidez, the Mexican sensation ruthlessly replied: “I’d respect his opinion if he was sober.”

While Canelo holds the WBA (super), IBF, WBO, WBC and The Ring Magazine super-middleweight world titles, Benavidez is in possession of the interim WBC super-middleweight belt.

The American star boasts an undefeated professional record (28-0), having beaten the likes of David Lemieux, Caleb Plant and Demetrius Andrade.

But he’ll have to wait before landing a showdown with Canelo, who will return to action on May 4 against Munguia.

Mike Tyson’s trainer hits back at health concerns over Jake Paul fight after doctor issued ‘brain damage’ warning

By

Mike Tyson’s trainer has dismissed claims the heavyweight icon’s health is at risk when he fights Jake Paul.

The former champion will return to the ring aged 58 and face YouTube star Paul in a showdown on July 20 in Texas

Paul and Tyson will clash in the ring in July

A 31-year age gap will exist between the pair by the time of fight night, which has led to widespread criticism of the encounter.

Paul and Tyson are expected to fight under traditional rules, with rumors of headgear being in use dismissed.

The fight could even be sanctioned as a professional bout, which would be Tyson’s first since retirement after losing to Kevin McBride in 2005.

After a warning from a doctor over potential brain damage surfaced, Tyson’s trainer Rafael Cordeiro has insisted that ‘Iron Mike’ is in perfect condition to compete.

He said on the MMA Hour: “I believe we don’t have to be concerned about it. We’re talking about a two-time world champion.

“The guy didn’t have 20 fights in two years, he knows how to fight. He’s fought against the best guys in the world.

“When he steps inside the ring he knows what to do. It’s not something new for Mike, and this fight is no different.

“He works hard every single day to go in there and try to knock Jake out from the beginning to the end. He’s going to prove that in July.

“You can see fire in his eyes when he trains, and he will never give less than that.

“Mike is going to step into the ring as the old Mike Tyson, and he’s going to try and knock out Jake from the beginning to the end.”

Tyson showed that he still possesses some of his elite natural boxing skills in his exhibition with Roy Jones Jr in 2020.

But facing a 27-year-old athlete could pose new problems, with questions over his punch resistance looming over the clash.

Training footage of Tyson’s has received mixed reviews, with fans suggesting that the former undisputed champion could be in trouble on the night.

While others have been mesmerized by his natural power, which has been used as a justification online for the fight to be sanctioned.

Tyson’s career has been full of highs, becoming the youngest-ever heavyweight world champion aged 20 back in November 1986.

But a KO defeat to Paul could be a damaging blow to his legacy in the boxing ring, despite the prospect of earning a huge $20million purse.
