“Iron Mike” was actually supposed to make his boxing return on July 20th. However, the fight had to be postponed after Tyson suffered a medical incident on a plane. The new date has been set for a few weeks now.
In the run-up to the fight, the large age difference caused criticism of the scheduling. In the past, Tyson has repeatedly struggled with health problems. But the boxing legend says: “Other people my age didn’t train as long as me and weren’t as consistent as me. And I’m just a different kind of person.” About his opponent Paul, he says: “My intention is to hurt this young man badly.”

Tyson still holds the record as the youngest boxer to win the WBC, WBA and IBF world heavyweight titles. He was also the first heavyweight boxer to hold all three titles at the same time. The last time he was in the ring for an official fight was in June 2005.
He last competed on November 28, 2020 in a fun fight against Roy Jones Jr. (55). The duel ended in a draw. Paul fought against ex-NBA professional Nate Robinson in the opening act. The influencer has been boxing since the beginning of 2020. His record so far is ten wins from eleven fights. The only defeat came in February 2023 against Tommy Fury (25), the half-brother of boxing superstar Tyson.
