JAKARTA - The world boxing legend, Mike Tyson, has declared his retirement from the boxing ring since his fight with Roy Jones Jr in 2020. However, he could "go down the mountain" after being challenged by boxer from the United States who is also a YouTuber, Jake Paul.
Mike Tyson reportedly opened up for this fight. However, there are conditions that must be met in order for the duel between The Concrete Neck and Jake Paul to take place.
Mike Tyson said the figure of 1 billion dollars or Rp. 14.3 trillion could woo him back into the ring. He conveyed this in a podcast.
However, Tyson said, no official offer has come to him.
"No one told me that. Hey, I have no money. So where is the contract," said Mike Tyson, as reported by SportBible.
He said he had never heard of this issue. The 55-year-old man admitted that he often met with Jake Paul, but never talked about fighting in the ring.
"I've never heard this from anyone, I just heard this from you guys," he said.
However, he had prepared himself if there really was a challenge. However, he asked for a fee that is not small.
"One billion dollars," he said.
A fight with a payout of 1 billion US dollars is unprecedented. The biggest paid fight in boxing history came when Floyd Mayweather Jr met Manny Pacquiao in 2015.
At that time, their fight earned 400 million US dollars.
