The Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight is proving to be one of the most highly anticipated boxing events of the year. It’s finally almost time for the heavyweight boxing “mega-event,” from Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions (MVP).
Tyson, now 58, is one of the most recognizable professional boxers in history. Paul, 27, has never faced a boxer as decorated as Tyson, but the question of Tyson’s age and the impact that could have in the physical damage in the fight has come up.

“I didn’t even feel it,” Paul said after it happened, being pulled away from each other by security. “He’s angry. He’s an angry little elf. Mike Tyson, I thought that was a cute slap, buddy, but tomorrow you’re getting knocked the f**k out.”
