Nov. 15 is the date for the highly anticipated fight between Jake "The Problem Child" Paul and "Iron" Mike Tyson. The fight, titled "The Baddest Man on the Planet," will take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas and will be streamed exclusively on Netflix.
Most recently, Jake Paul's belly has been making the rounds on social media, with many believing Paul's recent weight gain could throw him off once he gets in the ring with Tyson. While the weight gain was made in effort to get to heavyweight status, at which Paul does not normally compete, the departure from his comfort zone could prove difficult to overcome.
Outside of Paul's new look, Tyson also took to Jimmy Kimmel Live to express his lack of concern facing someone more than 30 years younger than him. Tyson told Kimmel that he started Jake Paul's boxing journey after he allowed Paul to partake in his first televised fight during his exhibition against Roy Jones Jr. Tyson added, "I started him. And I'm going to finish him."
The two have been jawing online for quite some time in anticipation of this fight, and fans are giddy with less than two months left.
