Mike Tyson And Jake Paul Ready To Fight: Prima Condition After Weighing
JAKARTA The big battle that has been awaited has finally arrived. Mike Tyson, 58-year-old heavyweight boxing legend, and Jake Paul, a 27-year-old young boxer, will face each other in the ring on Friday night November 15 or Saturday morning WIB, at AT&T Stadium, Arlington, Texas. Both have officially weighed weight in a ceremonial weight session at Toyota Music Factory on Thursday night.
Tyson, who recorded a weight of 228.4 pounds (103.6 kg), will try to revive his glory against Paul, who recorded a weight of 227.2 pounds (103 kg). This fight is an important moment for Tyson, who last fought professionally in 2005. With a record 50 wins and 6 defeats, Tyson hopes to return to show his greatness in front of world audiences. On the other hand, Jake Paul, who has had 11 professional fights with one defeat, sees this match as a major step in his career.
Ahead of this fight, Tyson told of an incident that almost took his life last May. At that time, he experienced an avalanche in a cross-country flight. Tyson lost half of his blood and had to undergo eight blood transfusions. This condition had made his fight with Jake Paul which was scheduled for July delayed until November.
"I vomited blood on the plane toilet. I asked the doctor, 'Are I going to die?' He replied, 'We have an option.' I can't even believe it,' Tyson told New York Magazine. 'I lost 25 pounds in 11 days, I could only consume liquid.'
However, Tyson returns to the ring with an immovable spirit. He hopes his fight against Jake Paul is proof that his age and physical challenges will not stop him from competing again in the boxing ring.
