Paul recently faced Ryan Bourland in an eight-round professional boxing match on Mar. 2. The event took place at the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum in San Juan. The 27-year-old knocked his opponent out in the first round, improving his record to 9-1.
Tyson, on the other hand, has not fought any professional bouts since 2005. However, 'Iron' faced fellow legend Roy Jones Jr. in an eight-round exhibition match a few years ago on Nov. 28, 2020, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. The bout lasted eight rounds and ended in a split draw.
Conor McGregor's honest take on Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight
Jake Paul's announcement to face boxing legend Mike Tyson live on Netflix has sparked excitement among combat sports fans. However, Conor McGregor wasn't very pleased to hear the news.
McGregor attended the 2024 SXSW Festival in Texas just weeks before his cinematic debut in Amazon Prime Video's 'Road House' on March 21. In an interview at the festival, 'Notorious' discussed the matchup. He described the bout as "strange'', adding that he is least interested in the first-ever Netflix live boxing event.
McGregor said:
"Oh jeez, it's a bit strange, you know. My interest is low. I don't know. I don't understand it. I wish well for Mike [Tyson]."
