Jake Paul VS Mike Tyson LIVE Updates: The highly anticipated showdown, a battle of two generations, between legendary former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson and YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul has begun. 

The boxing legend, Tyson is reportedly set to earn dollar 20 million from the fight. Meanwhile, his opponent Jake Paul is reportedly going to pocket dollar 40 million.

Their recent dramatic weigh-in has only heightened the excitement for what promises to be a blockbuster event. Originally slated for July 20, the fight was postponed after Tyson suffered a medical scare in May. Now, the bout is officially rescheduled, bringing together two strikingly different figures from the worlds of boxing and social media.

The ‘Diamond-spiked ear cover’

Mike Tyson, who hasn’t fought since 2005, is confident about winning his upcoming bout with Jake Paul. In contrast, the 27-year-old Paul has been taunting Tyson by wearing a “diamond-spiked ear cover,” a clear reference to Tyson’s notorious ear-biting incident during his 1997 fight with Evander Holyfield.

The fight will follow an eight-round format, with each round lasting two minutes and featuring heavier gloves, as per the modified rules approved by Texas. The unusual pairing has drawn attention, with some states refusing to sanction the bout due to the significant age difference between the two fighters.
