Jake Paul and his brother Logan Paul, a professional wrestler, are known for their viral videos and entertaining personas. He has established himself in the boxing world and, incredibly and surprisingly, still has an impressive record of victories, remaining undefeated in his professional career starting in 2018.

This is, by the way, the second attempt at this fight. Earlier this year, Tyson suffered an ulcer flare-up during a flight from Miami to Los Angeles. The medical concern drove the event organizers to prioritize his well-being—he is still a 57-year-old man—and reschedule the fight.

Who’s the favorite in the Tyson Paul fight?

For Tyson, this fight is about redemption. After retiring in 2005 with a mix of triumphs and controversies, he aims to prove that age is just a number and that his passion for boxing endures. On the other hand, Jake Paul seeks to silence those who see him as a sideshow—defeating Tyson would give him street cred into boxing’s elite.

Experts argue that Tyson’s raw power may overwhelm Paul, while others believe youth and agility could give the YouTuber an edge. Ultimately, this fight transcends sport in a way; it’s a clash of personalities on the same side of recent pop culture.

When is the Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight?

The fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul will take place on Saturday, November 16, at 8:00 p.m. ET/5:00 p.m. PT at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
