Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson: MVP Co-Founder Answers if Fighters Will Be Wearing Headgear During Fight

Are you ready for an epic showdown? Jake Paul faces Mike Tyson in a jaw-dropping match. July 20 marks the date. They’ll clash at the iconic AT&T Stadium in Texas and the match, streamed Live worldwide on Netflix. Tyson, the boxing legend, will be 58 then. Can you believe it?

Paul, the Youtuber boxer, challenges a true heavyweight titan. But not at the peak of his powers. No headgear, just raw, unfiltered combat. Will age outweigh vigor? Or will experience triumph over youth?

No holds barred for Jake Paul and Mike Tyson!

Earlier Derek Chisora, the British heavyweight, had revealed that the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson match would be “using 18oz gloves and head guards.” He also added, “So we’re watching a sparring match. It’s a f****** joke. You think I’m paying to watch that?” This revelation ended up creating more outrage against the matchup. Now, in a tweet that cuts straight to the chase, Michael Benson delivered the news everyone was waiting for: “Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson on July 20th will absolutely not have the fighters wearing headgear, Jake’s MVP co-founder Nakisa Bidarian has now confirmed.” This single statement set the boxing world abuzz, confirming that the upcoming bout between the social media mogul and the boxing legend will be as real as it gets – no headgear, no holding back. Which makes it even riskier for Tyson.

Moreover, this match-up has drawn widespread attention, not just for its unconventional pairing, but also due to the vocal skepticism from notable figures in the combat sports world. Personalities like KSI, UFC president Dana White, and Conor McGregor have all expressed their doubts. Even Jake’s brother, Logan Paul, in his podcast, IMPAULSIVE, called this matchup “crazy.”

Was Logan Paul offered to fight Tyson?

In a surprising twist to the Paul-Tyson narrative, Logan Paul, the elder sibling of Jake, shared his own near-encounter with the boxing legend on the Impaulsive Podcast. Logan disclosed, “I was offered (Fight with Mike Tyson) but not for Netflix and not for big a** bag (Money). It was just like this could be real because I was asking for it. I am sure you have to, ‘Do you think you could beat Mike Tyson?’ My answer is yes. I just think he’s too old; it’s crazy. He’s senile.”

Despite his involvement in influencer boxing and facing Floyd Mayweather in 2021, Logan judged the potential match with Tyson as mismatched, attributing his hesitation to Tyson’s age and questioning the fairness of such a bout.

Do you think experience and time-honored skill will triumph, or will youthful vigor and fearless ambition steal the spotlight? Your guess is as good as ours, but one thing is for sure — this is one event you won’t want to miss. Will it redefine the future of celebrity boxing, or will it serve as a stark reminder of the sport’s unforgiving nature?
