Mike Tyson has resumed training after a health setback due to an ulcer flare-up, which postponed his highly anticipated match against Jake Paul. Speaking with Esquire magazine on July 15, the 58-year-old boxing legend expressed confidence about facing Paul, stating, “Can I be honest? I don’t think he can hurt me.”
Tyson, preparing for his first sanctioned boxing match in nearly two decades, acknowledged the significance of the bout for his legacy and fans. Despite criticism regarding his choice to fight a social media personality like Paul, Tyson described himself as a “glory junkie” who thrives on attention and prefers a life of fame over obscurity.
Originally slated for July 20, the fight is now scheduled for November 15 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, following Tyson’s health issues. He expressed gratitude towards the medical staff who treated him during his recovery, emphasizing his readiness to resume training and prepare for the upcoming match.
