JAKARTA Boxer and YouTuber, Jake Paul, boasts that he will beat former undisputed heavyweight world champion Mike Tyson when they meet this weekend.

The duel between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul will be held at AT&T Stadium, Texas, Friday, November 15, 2024, evening local time or Saturday, November 16, 2024, morning WIB.

The duel is predicted to be watched by more than 80 thousand spectators.

"On Friday night you will see me beat the one who has been in boxing all his life," Jake Paul said as quoted by Boxing Scene.

The duel between Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul has received a lot of criticism. That's because of the age difference that is three decades apart.

Jake Paul was eight years old when Tyson lost his last career before retiring against Kevin McBride in 2005.

Superior in age makes Jake Paul more confident in this duel. However, he also cannot underestimate his opponent, known as the Iron Mike ring.

"It's not about how long you've been doing something, but about how well you do it. I, Jake Joseph Paul, promise to hit KO Mike Tyson on Friday," Paul said.

This age difference made many Mike Tyson fans worried. They are afraid that their champion will lose badly because he lost his strength to victory.

However, Tyson has reduced these concerns. He said that he was fine and was able to put up a fight in the ring later.

"Thank you very much for your attention, but I'm struggling. I'll be fine. I was a different person when I was (in the fight)," Tyson was quoted as saying by MMA Fighting.

The fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul will later be in the professional category. Thus, the match will have an effect on the boxing record of the two fighters.
