Mike Tyson makes abrupt career announcement after agreeing Jake Paul fight
Mike Tyson has announced a major change to his schedule as he continues with his preparations ahead of fighting Jake Paul in a highly-anticipated boxing match.
Boxing legend Mike Tyson has made a surprise announcement ahead of his fight with Jake Paul in Texas later this year. The former world heavyweight champion has decided to stop recording his ‘Hotboxin’ podcast’ as he gets ready for the big match at AT&T Stadium.
‘Iron Mike’, as he’s known by his army of fans, will be back in the ring on July 20 to take on social media star Paul in a major come back bout nearly two decades after his retirement. The rules of the fight are still undisclosed but we know that neither man will be wearing headgear and they want it to count as a professional fight.
Now, Tyson has chosen to stop making his podcast, which he started two years ago with co-host Sebastian Joseph-Day as he commits to a gruelling schedule to get ready for the bout. In recent days, ‘Kid Dynamite’ has delighted fans with his enthusiastic training displays – having posted videos of his preparations on social media.
Announcing his decision, he admitted: “Ladies and gentlemen, these are my final recordings of Hotboxin’. I really enjoyed being part of this journey and all of the people that I met, the remarkable people that I met, in interviews. This is my next chapter in life, please enjoy the following social on my website for my next venture. I love you all.”

Mike Tyson has made a decision about his side project in light of the bout
Tyson’s podcast has saw him pit his wits opposite a host of famous guests over the last two years, like UFC commentator Joe Rogan and WWE star The Undertaker – real name Mark Calaway. However, the former heavyweight world champion is going to concentrate on getting ready for his fight against Paul.
Meanwhile, the veteran star has been accused of “faking” his viral training videos in recent weeks – with his trainer Rafael Cordeiro having slammed critics who say the 57-year- old is not ready for the fight. Cordeiro believes Tyson will be able to handle himself just fine against Paul despite the massive 30-year age gap between them.
“After first seeing him, it messed with my shoulder,” Cordeiro said on The MMA Hour as he offered some rare insight into what it is like to train with a bona fide legend of the sport, continuing: “I couldn’t hold mitts for at least six, seven months with my boys in the gym.

“My right shoulder was a big, big mess, and I stopped for a while to take care of my shoulder and do physical therapy,” he continued. “Sometimes, I say 1-2-3, and he’s already inside. If I don’t move back, oh lord. It’s impossible. I have to move back.”
“I believe people don’t have to be concerned. We’re talking about a guy who was a two-time champ. The guy didn’t have 20 fights in two years. He knows how to fight. He fought against the best guys in the world. When he steps inside the ring, he knows what to do. It’s not something new for Mike, and this fight is no different.”
