Although Mike eventually calmed himself and continued his studies, there were more setbacks to come. He began to train for the Olympic trials, but he hardly looked promising. He even lost, which seems so far attached from the image most of us have in our heads of a young, hungry, determined Mike Tyson. D’Anamato and Tyson agreed that it was time to take a different route. At the age of 18, Mike Tyson turned pro.

Though the famously hard-hitting champ has always shown formidable skills in the ring, he’s been training for the Paul fight with a little extra help from Tool singer Maynard James Keenan. The rocker posted pics with Tyson, who he said has been getting in shape working out at his Cottonwood, AZ Verde Valley BJJ martial arts school; Keenan, who co-founded the gym, earned his black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu in January.

Jake Paul sure knows how to stir things up, especially with that move of replicating Mike Tyson’s face tattoo for the promo of their Netflix fight. It got people talking, wondering if he’d face the same legal heat that Warner Bros. did over the tattoo in The Hangover: Part II.

Paul fighting Tyson doesn’t necessarily preclude him from continuing to fight gatekeepers with an eye toward title contention one day. But it’s also clear that if these big-money events come up, he’s not going to turn them down to continue steadily on that championship path against unknowns. For all the criticism that this fight with Tyson will rightly glean, it’s pretty remarkable what Paul and Most Valuable Promotions has done in a very short time, putting on major boxing events and building its roster. Paul has made combat sports work for him, rather than vice versa. — Raimondi

“Our team has worked diligently with all parties involved to reschedule this monumental fight to a date that ensures both Jake Paul and Mike Tyson are fully prepared, with equal training time, as well as allowing us to keep the event at AT&T stadium amid the Cowboys season,” Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of Most Valuable Promotions, said in a statement. “We appreciate the outstanding dedication, collaboration, and flexibility of our partners at Netflix and AT&T Stadium. Paul vs. Tyson is the most cross-generational sporting event in history, and we are committed to providing fans worldwide with this unforgettable night of boxing, live globally on Netflix. We look forward to seeing everyone on Friday, November 15 for a showdown that will be talked about for generations to come.”

Life is inherently unpredictable. Just as a boxer cannot predict every move of their opponent, we cannot foresee every challenge or obstacle that life will throw at us. This unpredictability is the ‘punch in the mouth’ Tyson refers to. It is the unexpected setbacks that disrupt our plans and forces us to reassess our strategies.

Dive into a collection of quotes from Tyson, uncovering life’s profound lessons from the perspective of a legend. These insights resonate far beyond the realm of sports, offering a powerful narrative about life’s trials and the spirit of endurance.

I’m the best ever. I’m the most brutal and vicious, and most ruthless champion there’s ever been. There’s no one can stop me. Lennox is a conqueror? No, I’m Alexander, he’s no Alexander. I’m the best ever! There’s never been anybody as ruthless! I’m Sonny Liston, I’m Jack Dempsey. There’s no one like me. I’m from their cloth. There’s no one that can match me. My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable, and I’m just ferocious. I want your heart! I want to eat his children! Praise be to Allah!

Plans for a rematch fell through, so Douglas’ first title defence was against No. 1 contender Evander Holyfield. An overweight Douglas, weighing 14.5 pounds (6.6 kg) more than in the Tyson fight, was knocked out by Holyfield in the third round. Douglas retired after the fight. Six years later, he launched a comeback after almost dying in a diabetic coma and won a few fights against journeyman opposition. He fought for the last time in 1999. Despite rumours of a rematch with Tyson throughout the 1990s, they never faced each other again.

“I’m the best ever. I’m the most brutal and vicious, the most ruthless champion there has ever been. There’s no one can stop me. Lennox is a conqueror? No! I’m Alexander! He’s no Alexander! I’m the best ever. There’s never been anyone as ruthless. I’m Sonny Liston. I’m Jack Dempsey. There’s no one like me. I’m from their cloth. There is no one who can match me. My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable, and I’m just ferocious. I want your heart! I want to eat his children! Praise be to Allah!”

Now, site here’s where things get interesting. Jake Paul, aka ‘The Problem Child,’ was about to face a similar legal mess.

But, here’s the twist – he managed to dodge that whole legal mess somehow. How? Let’s find out.
