The Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul bout, initially set for this month, has been postponed to November due to a health issue for Tyson. The former heavyweight champion is recovering from an ulcer flare-up, while Jake Paul has been steadily enhancing his record with another victory.
Paul recently secured a stoppage win over former UFC and bare-knuckle boxing fighter Mike Perry, knocking him down three times before the fight was halted in the sixth round. Despite Tyson being nearly 30 years older and not having fought professionally in over two decades, Paul remains confident in his chances.
Former heavyweight champion Shannon Briggs shared his perspective on the matchup in an interview with FightHype. He highlighted the financial benefits for both fighters, noting, “It’s great for Mike to be making some money at his age through exhibitions. If they’re going to pay him, why not take the opportunity? It’s a way to support his family and make millions. For Jake, it’s a significant boost to his career. Beating a legend like Mike Tyson would be a major achievement, especially considering his brother fought Floyd Mayweather. It’s a win-win for both of them.”
