Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson

After already taking on a host of professional boxers and seasoned MMA vets in his fledging career, Paul is set for his biggest challenge yet against ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson.

The former heavyweight champion of the world might be nearing 60 but he still packs a mean punch and has a significant weight advantage on the Problem Child.

The big-money bout is set to take place in the 80,000-capacity AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of NFL side the Dallas Cowboys.

Why is Paul vs Tyson postponed?

The fight was initially scheduled to take place on July 20, 2024, but a postponement has been forced by Tyson on medical advice.

“Unfortunately, due to my ulcer flareup, I have been advised by my doctor to lighten my training for a few weeks to rest and recover,” said Tyson.

“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.”

When is Paul vs Tyson?

A new date for the fight is reportedly set to be announced around June 7.

Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury

In what began as a long Twitter spat, Jake Paul and Tommy Fury would ultimately settle their differences in the boxing ring.

The pair clashed at the Diriyah Arena in Saudi Arabia in February 2023, with the British star ultimately earning a split-decision victory and giving Paul his first professional loss.

The event reportedly sold over 800,000 PPV buys – the most of any of Paul’s previous fights.

Nate Diaz vs Jake Paul

Whilst Paul was initially teasing an immediate rematch with Fury, the American star would return to the ring to face UFC icon Nate Diaz on August 5, 2023.

In a particularly boring bout, Paul would ultimately earn a unanimous decision victory over the MMA superstar; the event itself reportedly generated over $3 million in ticket sales and sold approximately 450,000 PPVs.

Jake Paul vs Anderson Silva

In one of many fights against former MMA stars, Paul earned a unanimous decision victory over former UFC champion Anderson Silva in October 2022.

This event was one of the lowest-selling events of Paul’s career, yet still garnered around 300,000 buys.

Jake Paul vs KSI

It’s a fight that has been teased ever since brother Logan stepped in the ring against the British social media star back in 2018, yet it’s a fight that has continued to slip through Jake’s fingers.

As of June 2024, Paul and KSI have failed to face each other in the boxing ring and it appears unlikely that they will fight for the foreseeable future; although the American did recently ‘leak’ KSI’s next boxing bout, reportedly against former world champion Amir Khan.

Jake Paul: ‘It’s Everyday bro’

On May 30, 2017, Paul and his Team 10 group released their now-infamous ‘It’s Everyday Bro’ diss track, with much of the song focused on Paul’s breakup with former girlfriend Alissa Violet.

Despite the video gaining over 300 million views on YouTube, it’s considered by many to be one of the worst songs in history and at one point, was the 17th-most disliked YouTube video of all time.

Team 10 Jake Paul

Paul launched Team 10 in 2016, an entertainment collective that created content alongside, and joined Paul on a North American tour performing their songs in the summer of 2018.

Over the years, various members of Team 10 began to leave the group, often being replaced by new members who in turn would be fazed out of the collective over time.

As of June 2024, Team 10 has been inactive for a number of years.
