The prize money is jaw-dropping, and the boxing world is holding its breath for the Mike Tyson-Jake Paul match.

One of the greatest boxers of all time and former world heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson, whose professional career ended in 2005, is preparing to return to the ring with a match against Jake Paul. The 58-year-old Mike Tyson will face Jake Paul, who transitioned from YouTube broadcasting to boxing.

THE BIG PRIZE IS TEMPTING

According to a report in the Daily Mail, a total of 80 million dollars will be distributed to the two boxers in the Mike Tyson-Jake Paul fight. While the report suggests that the prize will be equally distributed between the two boxers, it has also been claimed that Mike Tyson may only receive a portion of 20 million dollars.

It is alleged that if Jake Paul wins the fight, he will be the owner of 40 million dollars. Although no official statement has been made, Paul, who spoke in August, said, "I am here to win 40 million dollars and knock out a legend. I don't care about anything else."

THE GREAT BATTLE ON NOVEMBER 15

The fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul was initially scheduled to take place on July 20. However, due to health issues faced by Mike Tyson, the boxing match has been postponed to November 15. It is reported that ticket sales for the boxing match, with ringside tickets selling for between 10,000 and 50,000 dollars, have broken a total record of 9 million dollars.

LAST FOUGHT IN 2020

Tyson, whose professional career ended in 2005, last fought in a exhibition match in 2020. The 27-year-old Paul is 30 years younger than Tyson and has won 10 out of the 11 matches he has fought, mostly against former UFC fighters. Paul, who began his professional career in 2021, suffered his only defeat against British boxer Tommy Fury in February 2023.
