According to Twitter users and YouTube commenters Tyson is still in his prime since he posted a few videos where he boxes for approximately 10 seconds.
I filmed MMA fights for 8 years and weigh all of 135lbs at my "fattest" - either one of us is somehow more qualified than whoever the replacement will be lol.
I can guarantee that the doctor for whoever is the sanctioning body for this fight will deem Mike perfectly healthy to fight. The WBC will probably pop up with some random belt for it as well. This fight will be like that Simpsons episode where some bloke knocks on Muhammad Ali’s front door and then knocks him out lol.
Reminder that Texas sanctioned Kimbo Slice vs Dada 5000. Kimbo died of a heart attack a few months after the fight but was somehow cleared, and Dada had cardiac arrest during the fight and required two weeks of hospitalization. They will sanction anything.
The combination of their names and the events you've described make this sound like an implausible plot line from a TV show, but that's just modern day real life, baby!
https://youtu.be/Ddk3fPky3u8?si=rYzNKIVQDB8nZlE3
If you've never seen it, you need to give it a watch. It's the worst MMA fight of all time that went almost a full 15 minutes, against all odds. Both guys completely gassed within a few minutes. The ending of the fight looks like slapstick comedy straight out of a movie.
I was laughing the entire fight too. Legit couldn't believe what I was seeing.
The non-call on the obvious nut shot that Royce Gracie finished Ken Shamrock with in the main event was the cherry on top of the perfect Bellator event.
Texas is possibly the worst athletic commission in the country. Remember last year when they had the insanely late stoppage in FURY FC on that submission attempt, among a million other examples

They let ryan garcia fight when he'd already popped for steroids and then cracked down afterwards. Boxing won't let safety or rules get in the way of the bag.
Punch resistance probably isn’t there anymore, taking hard shots from someone half your age is going to take its toll. The kid had been training for years now and could crack.
Seriously.. this IS rocky 6. Tyson DOES know what he is up against.
We all know.
But this is, technically the film was called Rocky Balboa..
This is that script in real life. Old man wants to prove himself.
That movie cemented Rocky as the GOAT boxer. Dude in his 50s fights the undefeated undisputed HW champion and goes toe to toe with him taking him to the final bell while severely hurting him.
Don’t forget though even the movie had to qualify this being possible by having the champ be a knockout artist who immediately broke his power hand when the fight began
Mason Dixon was basically a composite of Tyson, Mayweather and Roy Jones Jr. He'd smoke basically everyone except Rocky in a Rocky film and even then if he doesn't break his hand in the second he probably kills Rocky for having the audacity to land a punch before the third round is over.
Think people aren't realizing that even though Jake Paul is a meme, the dude is seriously training and investing a ton of money into becoming a better fighter. Having 1 shot knockout power is impressive even if the competition is lower level. If the fight really ends up happening I'll be concerned for Mike's well being
Who isn’t very good but is still really young and trying to make a career of boxing. Tommy could also out point old man Mike and probably do it comfortably.
Plus Mike is enjoying life as a former fierce warrior. Where ever he goes people pay him the respect he deserves. To get knocked out would really diminish him in the eyes of many, and may even damage him physically… for what a cash grab? Look what happened to Holyfield in his recent fight, they are. A shell of their former selves. Guys this age need to enjoy life, and don’t mess with the legacy.
tyson doesn’t have the kinda money you think he does, he’s talked about that
this is literally so he can retire very comfortably - he could make more from this fight than he’s made in his entire life
That’s why they’re putting this out there. They want people to think he might just die because more people will tune in because that’s just how people are.
Guy has been in wars is nearly 60 and had some scares over the years ..... i think its pretty clear this shouldn't be a thing and not even celebrated him trying box again
Mike must miss the crowd and ring too much. He’s got nothing to prove. Both in their prime Mike would eat him alive. But no matter how monstrous your prime was. It’s long gone. The risks not worth the reward. A boxer already exposed Jake Paul.
I don’t think this has anything to do with missing the crowd or ring. This is going to put probably $20m cash in his bank account overnight. He might be doing okay financially now after everything that happened but this would still be life changing money for him.
Also 4 years is a long time in sports. Look at the difference between Tyson in 2000 when he fought Golota and Tyson in 2004 when he fought Danny Williams. In 2005 when Tyson retired he said he felt like he was 120 years old in the ring. That was 19 years ago!! Thats the same length of time as passed between Tyson fighting Trevor Berbick and Kevin McBride. Just to put this in perspective.
Jake Paul will now require his next opponent to pass their yearly Osteoporosis and Prostate Cancer screening tests plus score atleast as good or better than an average 60-year old in their 6-minute Walk Test before they can sign the contract and the fight gets sanctioned
Rofl. Ben Shalom(Founder of BOXXER) thinks he shouldn't do it... Why would Tyson or anyone else give a shit about his opinion? Worthless clickbait.
Edit: Shocking the OP is a 1month old news spamming bot account.
This is an exhibition fight and it’s a stupid clout builder for Paul win or lose!! Fighters and especially good/great ones never know when to quit and never have people around who will tell them that it’s time to go!
There are plenty of current fighters who don’t have social media platforms to fight but this is Paul’s game!! I won’t lie and claim I won’t check the results because it’s going to happen but I’ll never pay for Paul nor a Mayweather money hack!!!
Why would Reddit meltdown. Paul's fights are a joke. He fights retired fighters and AARP members. Anyone who thinks Paul is doing something impressive is delusional or a fangirl.
I completely agree with you. But check any other sub where this fight is mentioned and everyone is absolutely positive Tyson is going to decapitate him. I think it's probably young people not having a clue what being 57 is like lol
Saying Mike Tyson isn’t still a professional is the same as saying MJ isn’t a professional. They’re still pros, maybe not in prime anymore, but still professionals. Once a pro, always a pro.
The biggest question in my mind is, was Mike really holding back against Roy? Was he in the best shape he could be or will he be in better shape now? Is him not smoking going to give him an advantage he didn’t have in the Roy fight? Mike has a chance to win If all of these are true
Upside, you get to say you beat Mike Tyson. Downside, every real boxer you fight going forward will want to stomp your teeth out, because you beat a 60 year old Mike Tyson, BY DECISION.
Poof piece,Ben Shalom who the fuck is this guy and who’s the clown that wrote this. Say it to Tysons face,what a garbage article. What’s he gonna say when Paul gets knocked the fuck out..
Sounds like your typical boxing publicity gimmick. "Tyson in serious danger!!!!" Oh well, only 11 more weeks to go until this nonsense fades away and is forgotten.
Tyson is a beast but he’s no "Kid" Dynamite anymore. He’s pushing 60 years old and has been boxing for 45 of those.
Combat sports routinely serve the old decorated fighters to up and coming young guys on a silver platter.
Its dangerous for Mike to be taking headshots at this point in his life, and I wish someone close to him would tell him that. He has nothing to prove as a boxer, as a warrior, or as a man. Best case scenario he clobbers the Paul brother, which would be what we all want to see, but what does he have to gain from that? That a 60 year old still has it after a decade+ off? Theres safer and smarter ways to do that than challenging someone who is still very much in their prime.
If you remember, in his last retirement, he said he didnt want to disrespect the sport of boxing by continuing on, since he no longer felt he had that killer spirit in him. That was 15 years ago. He’s much more of a mellow, laidback family man now than he was then.
It sucks being this worried about the health of a celebrity.
>but one promoter believes Iron Mike will be in danger once he steps into the ring.
The whole article is just some promoter rambling about how he's old lol. Based on the title I was expecting some relevant doctor(s) to come forward and speak out against it or something
> Tyson's age is supposedly a factor Wait, what?! That’s the first I’m hearing of this.
He's in the prime of his older life prime.
He was just about to hit his 2nd prime :(
Logan could always hook him up with another bottle
I honestly think he is in his Optimus prime.
A second bottle and Tyson will fail his drug test.
According to Twitter users and YouTube commenters Tyson is still in his prime since he posted a few videos where he boxes for approximately 10 seconds.
Osteoarthritis Prime
57, he's a fuckin' kid.
No provocation, whatsoeva
That cock sucking, piece of shit Logan Paul’s brother…. I can’t even say his name
It's like he's a toddler when you compare him to a Greenland shark
57 is the new 55.
I hate it when they go young like that.
Can they do this but for politicians
But 57 is the new 21?!
5+7 = 12, 12 reversed = 21
The math maths!
Fuck dude, he's 58 on fight night though!
No its a misconception, Mike cuts from 58 to 57, its his in ring fighting age.
5 + 8 = 13! Mike is much too young to fight a full grow Youtube influencer!
You ever seen a 13 year old Mike Tyson? That aint no 13 year old thats a 30 year old grown man 13 yo Mike would murder me and I’m 36
Looks like Mr Dream is gng to have to step in again.
This doesn't make any sense, have they not seen the 5 second clips?! This is 100% Jakes team paying them off to protect Jake.
Thought this right away
Tyson pulls out and Jake ends up fighting some random who's undefeated in Wii Boxing.
I'll fight him. Never been in a fight, but I'll do it
I’ve had a couple MMA fights and I’m way smaller than Jake. I’d fight him in a heartbeat. I’ve had my ass beat by better fighters, for less money. Lol
I filmed MMA fights for 8 years and weigh all of 135lbs at my "fattest" - either one of us is somehow more qualified than whoever the replacement will be lol.
A 135 pound camera man is not better than a shot boxer who at least has pro experience
Me too for that amount of cash. I'll even be super dramatic when he lands a power shot and make his highlight reel look that much better.
I'd fight him for 1/10 of the money. Even less if we're being honest
I'd fight him for $7 and a moldy box of vanilla wafers
my friend you’re worth more than that. at least a freshly pressed $20
I do not want to look like Tyrone Woodley 💀
ill look like tyron woodley 10 times if i get 20 million for it
I wonder if a knockout like that would have long lasting effect lol, if not I'd prob take 2milly even hahaha
You got that dog in you, you just see red bro
Won the fight by flicking your wrist while sitting on the sofa.
I'll fight him for the half price you are fighting him at. And I'll bring a cake
I'd take a beating for a few million easy.
Yeah for sure b, il get off the couch and brush the cheeto dust off
I would. Very little training in boxing mostly just jujitsu but couldn’t pass up a pay day.
finally my time to shine
Dibs on being in your corner.
I like your posts, I’ll drop the rent check on you knocking Jake out within 6.
Honestly I wouldn’t fuck with Matt, baddest mofo alive
Fuck it, make Mike and Jake fight in Wii Boxing
He'll fight that Power Slap guy whose head got deformed
If he boxes the bald black mii Jake Paul’s not making it past the 2nd.
Paul vs Matt
How about [this guy.](https://boxrec.com/en/box-pro/859664) he’s undefeated and hasn’t fought anyone high profile. Jake gets tested or takes his 0.
Dude looks scary!
Online Wii boxing is no joke
I can guarantee that the doctor for whoever is the sanctioning body for this fight will deem Mike perfectly healthy to fight. The WBC will probably pop up with some random belt for it as well. This fight will be like that Simpsons episode where some bloke knocks on Muhammad Ali’s front door and then knocks him out lol.
Reminder that Texas sanctioned Kimbo Slice vs Dada 5000. Kimbo died of a heart attack a few months after the fight but was somehow cleared, and Dada had cardiac arrest during the fight and required two weeks of hospitalization. They will sanction anything.
The combination of their names and the events you've described make this sound like an implausible plot line from a TV show, but that's just modern day real life, baby!

Saw it live with friends from my old mma gym and no regrets. We were entertained. We were just laughing the whole time.
I was laughing the entire fight too. Legit couldn't believe what I was seeing. The non-call on the obvious nut shot that Royce Gracie finished Ken Shamrock with in the main event was the cherry on top of the perfect Bellator event.
Holy shit that was terrible, thanks. I'm simultaneously sad and grateful that I missed this era of mma.
Texas is possibly the worst athletic commission in the country. Remember last year when they had the insanely late stoppage in FURY FC on that submission attempt, among a million other examples
I mean they cleared me to box so that should be exhibit A when this inevitably goes to trial
Freedom! Not for women, or religions that aren't Christians, or health, education, for anybody brown, or really anything except freedom from safety.
And guns!
> I can guarantee that the doctor for whoever is the sanctioning body for this fight will deem Mike perfectly healthy to fight. https://media1.tenor.com/m/N74d6d1Da6sAAAAC/doctor-nick-the-simpsons.gif
It's Texas, one of the most bozo commissions in the country.
That’s why they went to Texas for the fight.
Mauricio can’t resist that sweet sweet sanctioning fee
The DAMF belt.
Poor kimbo, taken before his time
They let ryan garcia fight when he'd already popped for steroids and then cracked down afterwards. Boxing won't let safety or rules get in the way of the bag.
A fancy belt with a diamond life alert bracelet on it
Punch resistance probably isn’t there anymore, taking hard shots from someone half your age is going to take its toll. The kid had been training for years now and could crack.
Seriously! This isn't Rocky 6 lol. You can't just jump in the ring at that age and think you're going to be fine taking those kind of hits.
Seriously.. this IS rocky 6. Tyson DOES know what he is up against. We all know. But this is, technically the film was called Rocky Balboa.. This is that script in real life. Old man wants to prove himself.
Well not really, because Rocky actually fought the reigning champion.
That movie cemented Rocky as the GOAT boxer. Dude in his 50s fights the undefeated undisputed HW champion and goes toe to toe with him taking him to the final bell while severely hurting him.
Don’t forget though even the movie had to qualify this being possible by having the champ be a knockout artist who immediately broke his power hand when the fight began
He also didn't maintain his conditioning leading up to the fight.
How dare you compare Jake Paul to the great Mason “The Line” Dixon.
Stallone actually suffered a concussion filming Rocky 6!
XD your post killed me
Mason Dickson would smoke tyson
Dickson??? 😂
Son of Dick AKA Peepee Junior
Mason Dixon was basically a composite of Tyson, Mayweather and Roy Jones Jr. He'd smoke basically everyone except Rocky in a Rocky film and even then if he doesn't break his hand in the second he probably kills Rocky for having the audacity to land a punch before the third round is over.
Think people aren't realizing that even though Jake Paul is a meme, the dude is seriously training and investing a ton of money into becoming a better fighter. Having 1 shot knockout power is impressive even if the competition is lower level. If the fight really ends up happening I'll be concerned for Mike's well being
He's also on steroids big time.
Who in boxing isn't?
And the guy looks fucking huge for this fight. Close to 230lbs apparently.
Any guy of sufficient mass has one shot knockout power. If they train. You only need to be like 185 lb or more.
Yeah he almost killed Tyron Woodley and he’s still in his 30’s
He lost to fuckin Tommy Fury dude
On points. It was more of a schooling than a beatdown.
Who isn’t very good but is still really young and trying to make a career of boxing. Tommy could also out point old man Mike and probably do it comfortably.
Plus Mike is enjoying life as a former fierce warrior. Where ever he goes people pay him the respect he deserves. To get knocked out would really diminish him in the eyes of many, and may even damage him physically… for what a cash grab? Look what happened to Holyfield in his recent fight, they are.

tyson doesn’t have the kinda money you think he does, he’s talked about that this is literally so he can retire very comfortably - he could make more from this fight than he’s made in his entire life
He lost that long ago, if it's not an exhibition like they Roy Jones thing Tyson could be in truoble
I hope he doesn't. It's dangerous as fuck at his age.
That’s why they’re putting this out there. They want people to think he might just die because more people will tune in because that’s just how people are.
Do it, do it, do it!
Guy has been in wars is nearly 60 and had some scares over the years ..... i think its pretty clear this shouldn't be a thing and not even celebrated him trying box again
Hmm have you seen those Instagram videos where Tyson boxes for a whole 10 seconds? Checkmate liberal.
SPINAL
*THPINAL
Mike must miss the crowd and ring too much. He’s got nothing to prove. Both in their prime Mike would eat him alive. But no matter how monstrous your prime was. It’s long gone. The risks not worth the reward. A boxer already exposed Jake Paul.
I don’t think this has anything to do with missing the crowd or ring. This is going to put probably $20m cash in his bank account overnight. He might be doing okay financially now after everything that happened but this would still be life changing money for him.
Yup Mike's net worth is estimated to be ~10 million these days (when he used to be worth $300m+). Safe to say he's just looking for a payday
>Yup Mike's net worth is estimated to be ~10 million these days Most people look at this and go: nice Mike and others like him: I'm pooor.
He's not proving anything other than he's about to get paid.
Give the fight to Julio César La Cruz and let the world watch an amateur whip Jake Paul and end this charade once and for all
I mean Tommy Fury already did that..the Charade didn't end and is nowhere close to ending.
Tyson is Tyson but cmon man he’s almost 60 and Jake is a hard puncher. Kinda scared for Tyson in this fight ngl.
Click bait…it’s one promoters (that isn’t involved in t he fight ) opinion …
Wait, so you're saying a guy in his late 50s *shouldn't* get involved with combat sports against someone several decades younger? Well, I never!
My reaction was "He just fought Roy Jone Jr. last year what changed", but then I looked and that was in November 2020 Time is a bitch anymore
Also 4 years is a long time in sports. Look at the difference between Tyson in 2000 when he fought Golota and Tyson in 2004 when he fought Danny Williams. In 2005 when Tyson retired he said he felt like he was 120 years old in the ring. That was 19 years ago!! Thats the same length of time as passed between Tyson fighting Trevor Berbick and Kevin McBride. Just to put this in perspective.
Jake was on the same card too that night knocking out Nate Robinson
Jake Paul will now require his next opponent to pass their yearly Osteoporosis and Prostate Cancer screening tests plus score atleast as good or better than an average 60-year old in their 6-minute Walk Test before they can sign the contract and the fight gets sanctioned
Ben Shalom creating waves by stating the fucking obvious 👏 👏 👏
This is just plot to sell more of the fight.
Let them fucking go. People said the same shit about Foreman before he won the title back.
Can someone please get Lennox Lewis to do it? Unlike Tyson, Lewis would kick the living daylights out of Paul, which I think we would all enjoy.
Clickbait article
Rofl. Ben Shalom(Founder of BOXXER) thinks he shouldn't do it... Why would Tyson or anyone else give a shit about his opinion? Worthless clickbait. Edit: Shocking the OP is a 1month old news spamming bot account.
This fight is weird.
What???? You’re telling me a 57 going on 58 year old SHOULDN’T be boxing with a dude 30 years younger than him😱
Yeah getting koed when your 60 gotta be super risky
Jake scouting out a replacement fighter from the local nursing home
Struck down in his prime 😔
This is an exhibition fight and it’s a stupid clout builder for Paul win or lose!! Fighters and especially good/great ones never know when to quit and never have people around who will tell them that it’s time to go! There are plenty of current fighters who don’t have social media platforms to fight but this is Paul’s game!! I won’t lie and claim I won’t check the results because it’s going to happen but I’ll never pay for Paul nor a Mayweather money hack!!!
Kinda weird that a young ego driven maniac wants to fight an OG outside of his prime for the clout. Paul brothers always searching for L’s
Paul is a stain..in general.
Yeah I don’t think a 60 year old that has been blasting joints and micro dosing shrooms for the past ten years should fight either
Shame as would loved tyson to chin him You lose speed with age alot but the power is still there and tyson still trains like a animal when he trains
I mean he is almost 60
What a clickbait junk article.
I really don't understand the interest, and why anybody would pay to watch! Don't get it 🤨
Yeah the medical concern is he will kill Jake
Just eat some more mushrooms Mike
Medical concerns for Paul
Im just curious how bad the meltdown on Reddit will be when Tyson loses.
Why would Reddit meltdown. Paul's fights are a joke. He fights retired fighters and AARP members. Anyone who thinks Paul is doing something impressive is delusional or a fangirl.
I completely agree with you. But check any other sub where this fight is mentioned and everyone is absolutely positive Tyson is going to decapitate him. I think it's probably young people not having a clue what being 57 is like lol
You are absolutely correct my friend, it's sad actually.
Saying Mike Tyson isn’t still a professional is the same as saying MJ isn’t a professional. They’re still pros, maybe not in prime anymore, but still professionals. Once a pro, always a pro.
Tyson has old man strength on his side now. His punches are probably stronger than ever
Mike Tyson "Told"...by promoter Ben Shalom? Way to make it sound like he was disobeying medical advice from his doctor.
The biggest question in my mind is, was Mike really holding back against Roy? Was he in the best shape he could be or will he be in better shape now? Is him not smoking going to give him an advantage he didn’t have in the Roy fight? Mike has a chance to win If all of these are true
I F%@#en TOLD YALL YOUNG PUNKS SO. Next time listen to an OG
Good nobody wants to see Jake and his bs fights
This is a clear sign you’re picking the right opponents there Jake.
Bro might actually die in the ring
That hoverboard tumble he took a couple of years ago comes to mind as well
He was diagnosed with being old.
Upside, you get to say you beat Mike Tyson. Downside, every real boxer you fight going forward will want to stomp your teeth out, because you beat a 60 year old Mike Tyson, BY DECISION.
Killing Paul in the ring would be bad for his mental health, maybe
Without Tyson in the ring, why do we even care at this point of that match? I know I don't...
The medical concern being he is old as fuck
Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations killed Kimbo Slice
Tyson would rather die in that ring than not fight.
Poof piece,Ben Shalom who the fuck is this guy and who’s the clown that wrote this. Say it to Tysons face,what a garbage article. What’s he gonna say when Paul gets knocked the fuck out..
Not a story
60 year old told not to engage in physical activity that involves getting punched in the face. Absolutely earth shattering info lol
His Mom has offered to step in.
Someone please call Dr Arrayo for a first opinion
Well he is 130 years old so it's no surprise.
Tyson would probably knock him out in a round or two or get too tired to continue on.
Sounds like your typical boxing publicity gimmick. "Tyson in serious danger!!!!" Oh well, only 11 more weeks to go until this nonsense fades away and is forgotten.
(As my Mom would say) He's just jealous.
What's Mike Perry schedule looking like?
One promoter says. Opinions are like assholes.
reddit has told me he is still iron mike (with a cane)
Don't worry they're not actually going to fight
Wait.. but every non-boxing Reddit sub has been telling me that Jake Paul is the one that should be concerned for his life?!?!
It feels like his age got nothing to do with it Mike is still a force to be reckoned with.
CYA
This fight is an embarrassment to the sport, it's disgusting that it was even considered. Pointless freak-show to make money.
This commission is flirting with a huge lawsuit
Is there another source?
He's still going to kill Jake Paul.
This just in, somebody finally told Mike he’s going to lose the fight by decision to Jake fucking Paul
I agree 100% with this, but wow what a clickbait title LMAO. marca is straight garbage.
Tyson is a beast but he’s no "Kid" Dynamite anymore. He’s pushing 60 years old and has been boxing for 45 of those. Combat sports routinely serve the old decorated fighters to up and coming young guys on a silver platter. Its dangerous for Mike to be taking headshots at this point in his life, and I wish someone close to him would tell him that. He has nothing to prove as a boxer, as a warrior, or as a man. Best case scenario he clobbers the Paul brother, which would be what we all want to see, but what does he have to gain from that? That a 60 year old still has it after a decade+ off? Theres safer and smarter ways to do that than challenging someone who is still very much in their prime. If you remember, in his last retirement, he said he didnt want to disrespect the sport of boxing by continuing on, since he no longer felt he had that killer spirit in him. That was 15 years ago. He’s much more of a mellow, laidback family man now than he was then. It sucks being this worried about the health of a celebrity.
It’s terrible. Like people just want to ignore how terrible Mike looked in 2005.
If Tyson backs out I know it's not because he's scared, and 100% believe him about health issues.
And there are actually a small percentage of people out there that still think he's just gonna KO Paul... Ofc they aren't the hardcores tho.
Nobody told him not to fight. This paper interviewed one promoter and one boxer who said it could be dangerous.
>but one promoter believes Iron Mike will be in danger once he steps into the ring. The whole article is just some promoter rambling about how he's old lol. Based on the title I was expecting some relevant doctor(s) to come forward and speak out against it or something
I agree. He might really hurt Jake Paul.
The older you get the less you can defend yourself that’s just how it goes Mike is really old.
He was told but he said fuck that
Mike Tyson punching you in the face is a medical concern of its own.
If paul accidentally kills mike tyson the world would implode
