Jake Paul will face Mike Tyson in a heavyweight boxing fight on Friday night, after the pair were due to meet earlier in the year
Mike Tyson opened up about his exchanges with Jake Paul during the build-up to their eagerly anticipated boxing match scheduled for Friday night at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas, where up to 80,000 fans are expected. Initially set for last July, Tyson had to back out due to an ulcer flare-up but with the fight back on, concerns over the 58-year-old’s wellbeing have escalated, not least because he admitted struggling to walk after a training session.
“It’s hard to walk right now,” Tyson remarked at a Cage Wars event, though he assured everyone: “But two months from now I’m going to be perfect. The fight is won in the gym.”
He seemed unconcerned by what lies ahead, declaring: “Listen, I’ll do anything that will help me. I’m going to enjoy my time here tonight with all my childhood friends, and the hell with Jake Paul.”
