Mike Tyson and Jake Paul meet in person to promote the fight

Former heavyweight world champion Mike Tyson (58) and YouTube star-turned-boxer Jake Paul (27) faced off in New York City to promote their upcoming fight, scheduled for November 15 in Arlington, Texas. The event, which took place as part of Fanatics Fest at the Javits Center, marked Tyson's return to promotional duties after a health scare in May.

Tyson addressed concerns about his fitness and confirmed the fight would go ahead as planned. “I'm prepared. I'm very well prepared,” he explained, acknowledging a recent “minor mishap” that has since been resolved. The fight, originally scheduled for July 20, was postponed to give Tyson time to recover from a stomach ulcer that required medical attention during a flight on May 26.

The boxing legend revealed that he has been in training camp for two to three weeks since receiving medical clearance. Despite the 31-year age difference between the two fighters, Tyson appeared confident and in good spirits.
