Is the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson undercard the most electrifying lineup we've seen in 2024?

Corey Marksman vs Lucas Bahdi was a promising match that intrigued many fans on the undercard of Jake Paul and Mike Tyson’s fight. But as Marksman suffered an untimely injury and had to withdraw from the fight, Most Valuable Promotions had to find a replacement quickly.

It looks like the promotion company has done a wonderful job by roping in Italian Armando Casamonica to replace the injured Marksman. He will now face Bahdi on November 15th at the AT&T Stadium in Texas in front of 80,000 fans. Even though it is a last-minute replacement, the matchup still promises to be interesting given the resume of both these fighters.

The duo will face each other in a 10-round lightweight match as both will put their unbeaten record on the line. Both the fighters have yet to face defeat in the lightweight division and a win here can push their career to a new height.

This will be Bahdi’s first appearance since his shocking upset win over Ashton Sylve in July earlier this year. He will step in the ring for the third time this year and would like to take his unbeaten streak to 18.

On the other hand, the reigning Italian light-welterweight champion has 14 wins under his belt and will compete outside Italy for the first time. It is a huge opportunity for him and even he knows that. “Boxers dream of nights like this. Fighting in front of millions of fans around the world, including my fans at home in Italy,” stated the 24-year-old boxer before thanking MVP for this huge opportunity.

Bahdi is also not taking this challenge lightly and knows how hard it will be to stop Casamonica’s undefeated streak. He stated, “Undefeated fighters always fight hard to protect their records,” while talking about the threat that his opponent poses. But the ‘Prince’ did not fail to mention his undefeated record that he will defend no matter what. “I can’t wait to put on a show on November 15,” stated the 17-0 boxer in a determined tone.

With the addition of Casamonica, the undercard of Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson has maintained its intensity. According to experts and many fans, this undercard has one of the most electrifying matchups. So, let’s take a look at all the matchups that this undercard has on offer.

Other than the undefeated lightweight showdown between Lucas Bahdi and Armando Casamonica, the undercard also features a featherweight match between Bruce Carrington and Dana Coolwell. According to several reports, Mike Tyson himself asked for the inclusion of Carrington on the undercard. Indian fighter Neeraj Goyat will face Brazilian social media star Whindersson Nunes in a six-round match.

Moving on, Shadasia Green will face Melinda Watpool for the vacant WBO super middleweight title. This will be Green’s second opportunity for the title and she would like to walk out as a champion this time. Mario Barrios will enter his first WBC welterweight title defense against Abel Ramos, who will challenge for the title for the first time in his long career.

But the real highlight of the event is the rematch between Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor for the undisputed super lightweight title. The last time these two faced each other was in April 2022, Taylor won via a split decision to retain her undisputed lightweight titles. This time, Serrano would like to repay the favor and become a two-weight undisputed champion herself.
