With just one month remaining until former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson fights professionally for the first time in two decades, a new trailer has been released for the boxing icon’s clash with YouTuber Jake Paul.
Tyson and Paul are due to step into the ring in the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on November 15 in what is expected to be one of the most-watched boxing matches in history given its placement on the streaming service Netflix which boasts around 277 million global users.
The fight, though, has not come without controversy — much of which is centred around the 58-year-old Tyson’s three-decade age gap over the 27-year-old Paul, who is 10-1 as a boxer over the course the past four years.
The two were originally scheduled to fight this past summer but Tyson was forced to withdraw after experiencing a medical issue while on a flight from Miami to California. Instead, Paul fought former UFC fighter Mike Perry on that July 20 date in Tampa, Florida where he defeated ‘Platinum’ by sixth-round TKO.
Check out the latest trailer, which is narrated by hip-hop star Ludacris, above.
