Mike Tyson to Fight Jake Paul in Professional Bout: Frank Warren Criticizes Rules

The boxing world is buzzing with excitement as the iconic Mike Tyson prepares to step back into the ring for the first time in almost two decades to face off against social media sensation Jake Paul. However, the rules of the upcoming bout have sparked controversy, with Hall of Fame promoter Frank Warren criticizing the decision to sanction the fight as a professional bout.

At 58 years old, Tyson will be facing Paul, who is 31 years his junior, in a professional match that will go on both fighters’ records. Warren expressed his concerns about the fight, stating that Tyson should not be stepping back into the ring at his age and that the decision to license the bout was “ridiculous.”

The fight, scheduled for July 20 at the Dallas Cowboys stadium, will consist of eight two-minute rounds with both fighters wearing 14-ounce gloves and no headgear. Despite facing backlash for fighting Tyson past his prime, Paul believes that Tyson will be his toughest opponent yet.

Tyson, who retired with a professional record of 50-6 (2NC), will have to undergo brain and heart scans to ensure he is fit to fight due to his age. The former undisputed heavyweight champion has promised fans a thrilling showdown, with both fighters expected to bring their A-game to the ring.

As the boxing world eagerly anticipates the clash between Tyson and Paul, the controversial rules of the fight continue to be a topic of debate. With both fighters gearing up for what promises to be an electrifying bout, fans can expect an unforgettable night of boxing action come July.
