Nearly two decades after retiring from professional boxing, 58-year-old Mike Tyson returned to the ring on Friday. Tyson earned worldwide fame with his talent in the 1980s and stunned the world with his skills. Opponent boxers were afraid to face him. Now on his comeback, he faced 27-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul at AT&T Stadium in Texas, USA.
Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in history in 1986 at the age of 20 years and four months. He retired in 2005 after losing to Kevin McBride. At that time he said that he had nothing left to give the sport. The boxing legend last fought in an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. However, this match held in 2020 did not get any fans due to Corona. Now after facing a man less than half his age, former world heavyweight champion Tyson became one of the oldest boxers to compete in a sanctioned professional fight.
Tyson's return to the ring
The biggest question that arises is why Tyson needs to come to the ring at the age of 58. Why is Mike Tyson wearing boxing gloves once again after 19 years? The answer is - money. According to reports, Mike Tyson is being paid $ 20 million i.e. about Rs 169 crore for just this match. Jake Paul is reportedly getting double this i.e. $ 40 million i.e. Rs 338 crore.
Also, Netflix is going to enter sports through this. Netflix has 280 million subscribers and according to reports, this streaming powerhouse is going to benefit a lot from Tyson's fan following. According to the BBC report, thousands of fans are expected to come to the stadium to see Tyson in the ring once again. For Netflix, Tyson vs Paul has been their biggest live sports event to date and was an opportunity to ensure that it attracts the same number of people as the NFL and WWE.
Mike Tyson's response
However, there were also reports that Tyson's health could also deteriorate. But Mike Tyson denied such reports. He said that people who hate boxing are spreading such things. He said, 'I am fine and healthy, that's all I can say.' He said earlier this year, 'Those who said this, I wish they were here. No one can do this except enemies.' This week in Texas, he said, 'I am tougher than I believed. When I agreed to this fight, I started training.'
