Influencer-turned-boxing star Jake Paul is gearing for his high-profile bout with boxing legend Mike Tyson next month. The Nov. 15 fight, which has been delayed at least once due to Tyson's health problems, is set to be aired live on Netflix from inside the legendary AT&T Arena in Arlington, Texas.

Paul made a name for himself in the boxing ring by mostly fighting MMA fighters. He easily dispatched former UFC greats Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, and Mike Perry, to name a few. Because of this, 'The Problem Child' doesn't get much love from the MMA community.

One adamant Jake Paul detractor from the MMA community is the former UFC welterweight title challenger Darren Till. 'The Gorrilla' tweeted a video of Paul hitting the heavy bag with the caption:

"This guy is atrocious"

Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson adds Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano II as co-main event

As if the Jake Paul - Mike Tyson clash isn't enough to put butts on seats at the AT&T Arena, the event added a massive rematch between two of the best and most exciting female boxers today as co-headliner.

Lineal women's lightweight champion Katie Taylor will put her WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, and The Ring world titles on the line in a second dance with unified featherweight champ Amanda Serrano.

The two made history when they first met in April 2022, being the first women to headline a boxing card in Madison Square Garden. At the time, Taylor was the considered No.1 best pound-for-pound female boxer in the world while Serrano was No. 3.

The two put on an amazing fight, showing top-notch technical boxing in the first half of the fight while blood-and-guts heart in the latter half. The exceptionally close bout saw Taylor successfully defending her lightweight titles via a split decision.

The historic battle won Fight of the Year honors from Sports Illustrated while the entire card received Event of the Year awards from The Ring. We have a strong feeling that this bout will be the sleeper fight of the night on Nov. 15. It has the accolades to prove it.
