How old is Mike Tyson, and what is the age difference between him and Jake Paul?
The enigmatic New York boxer comes out of retirement to take on the Ohio-born influencer.
This Friday promises to deliver one of the most electrifying events of 2024, as Mike Tyson steps into the ring to face Jake Paul in an exhibition fight at AT&T Stadium. The legendary New York boxer is coming out of retirement to take on the Cleveland-born influencer, drawing the attention of fans from around the world to Arlington, Texas.
The 58-year-old ‘Iron’ Tyson (50-6-0, 44 KOs) will square off against the 27-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul (10-1-0, 6 KOs) in a contest where the significant age difference—30 years, six months, and 16 days—may play a pivotal role. A remarkable 11,159 days separate their births, and now they will finally meet face-to-face in the Lone Star State.
Expectations high for fight
Tensions are already running high after Thursday’s weigh-in, where Tyson slapped Paul, escalating what was already a tetchy rivalry. According to Paul, the fight has now taken on a more personal tone. Billed as “The Baddest Man on the Planet” versus “The Problem Child,” this eight-round bout, held at the home of the Dallas Cowboys, is expected to deliver a thrilling spectacle.
For Tyson, this is a chance to prove that his vast experience and storied career can still dominate, even against a much younger opponent.
Meanwhile, Paul aims to leverage his youth and energy to overcome the iconic fighter and put on a show worthy of his fans' expectations. The stage is set for a showdown that promises to be unforgettable.
