Mike Tyson News: Fight with Jake Paul Rescheduled

Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson’s highly anticipated fight against Jake Paul is rescheduled for November 15 in Arlington, Texas. The sanctioned eight-round match against Paul, 27, will stream on Netflix and mark Tyson’s first competitive bout since June 2005.

The fight was originally scheduled for July 20 but postponed because of a recent ulcer flare-up for the 58-year-old Tyson. According to a representative, Tyson became dizzy and nauseated while flying from Miami to Los Angeles on May 26. Paramedics boarded the plane upon landing to assist him. Doctors subsequently advised Tyson to do minimal to no training in the coming weeks, upsetting the original timeline for the fight.

“My body is in better overall shape than it has been since the 1990s, and I will be back to my full training schedule soon,” Tyson said in a statement in late May. “Jake Paul, this may have bought you some time, but in the end, you will still be knocked out and out of boxing for good.”

‘Iron’ Mike Tyson’s early life, fighting journey, professional career - and fall from grace

Tyson's story involves incessant drug abuse, visits to prison, theft & deceit, childhood adoption and of course, one of the greatest boxing careers of all time.

Michael Gerard Tyson was born in Brooklyn, New York, in June of 1966. As a child, he endured a particularly difficult start to life, both in his upbringing and surroundings.

He never knew his biological father, Purcell Tyson - and his stepfather, Jimmy Kirkpatrick, abandoned the family when Tyson was just two years of age.

Tyson was sexually abused by a stranger when he was seven, and his mother, who was an alcoholic, died when he was just 16.

After his stepfather left, Tyson's mother moved the family to 178 Amboy Street in Brownsville, on the eastern side of Brooklyn. Brownsville was renowned for being the murder capital of New York, whilst also boasting the highest rate of incarceration and violent crime of anywhere in New York.

It was here that Tyson's life would descend into a murky world of crime and rebellion.
