Netflix's preview series, Countdown: Paul Vs Tyson, has aired, prefacing its November 15 live coverage of Jake Paul's boxing match with Mike Tyson. It's a contest that has divided opinion not only in boxing circles but also in the public forum. Iron Mike, once the self-styled"baddest man in boxing," is now 58, while Paul, the world-famous YouTuber and latter-day boxer, is 27.
There Are Concerns Over Mike Tyson's Age & Health For Fighting Jake Paul Mike Tyson Is 58 Years Old, And Last Boxed 20 Years Ago Close ✕ Remove Ads It is Tyson's age and health that is the event's principal bone of contention. Professional boxers are generally finished in their late thirties, and even an aberration like George Foreman, who captured a heavyweight world title in 1994 at age 45, was done three years later.
Jake Paul's Boxing Career Is Already Controversial, And This Makes It Worth It To Him Paul's Boxing Credentials Are Questionable ✕ Remove Ads Jake Paul, of course, is not focused on Mike Tyson's well-being. There's serious money to be made, and millions of eyeballs to beguile.
Countdown: Paul Vs Tyson conveniently ignores Paul's single contest against a"real" boxer, fellow novice and social media star Tommy Fury, whose own professional credentials owe more to the genes he shares with former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, than to his ability in the ring. Nevertheless, Paul lost that fight. His 10 wins have come against other YouTubers, NBA and NFL stars, and aging MMA fighters.
