One of the most anticipated fights of the year is coming up on Saturday night, with Jake Paul and Mike Tyson set to go head to head in Texas. But who is fighting on the Paul-Tyson undercard?
Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson
This is the one we have all been waiting for, as Jake Paul will finally get a chance to prove himself against Mike Tyson on Saturday night with the world watching on.
‘Iron Mike’ hasn’t set foot in a boxing ring for over 19 years but as one of the most feared names in the fighting world he shouldn’t have any problem with nerves this week.
Tyson held a record of 50-6 in the ring before he retired and with 44 knockouts, if he can replicate some of his old performances this weekend then Paul should have no chance.
But this isn’t the same Mike Tyson that everyone was so mesmerised by in the 90’s and it has been a long journey for the 58-year-old to get himself back into shape for the Paul fight this week.

Mike also admitted that his second personality Iron Mike has returned: “I’m always careful when that guy comes out. Every time I drink or get ready to fight and Iron Mike returns, I break… pic.twitter.com/wwDAkZvyYu

The ‘Problem Child’ on the other hand has plenty of recent experience having already fought twice in 2024, beating both Mike Perry and Ryan Bourland with emphatic knockouts.
Paul now has a record of 10-1 with seven knockouts, but it would surely take something special for the 27-year-old to put Tyson on the canvas.
There is no doubt that Paul would lose to Tyson in his prime, but with Iron Mike very much an unknown prospect having not fought since 2005, anything could happen in Texas this weekend.
