Mike Tyson to Fight Jake Paul in Texas

News summary

Mike Tyson, at 58, is set to return to the boxing ring for a highly controversial bout against YouTuber Jake Paul, 27, on Friday at AT&T Stadium in Texas. This officially sanctioned fight, which comprises eight two-minute rounds, has faced widespread criticism, particularly after Tyson's recent health scare involving a bleeding ulcer that required medical attention. Prominent figures in the boxing community, including British promoter Eddie Hearn, have condemned the match as a dangerous spectacle, arguing that Tyson should not be fighting at his age. Despite the backlash, Tyson, who has not fought professionally since 2005, seems unfazed, expressing indifference towards concerns about his legacy. He has reportedly been offered around $20 million for this return, which has drawn a global audience on Netflix. The bout raises questions about the safety and ethics of allowing aging athletes to compete in high-risk sports.
