Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson marks Jake Paul’s most-anticipated fight to date and his third fight of 2024 following three sensational knockouts in a row against professional boxers and Golden Glove winners Andre August and Ryan Bourland and most recently BKFC champion Mike Perry on July 20. Paul has shown tremendous growth as a boxer on his path to becoming a world champion, but now will take on one of the best and most dangerous boxers of all time in Mike Tyson.
“After eating Mike Perry as an appetizer, I’m ready to go for the main course on Friday, November 15,” said Jake Paul. “To be fighting the biggest baddest boxer ever is a dream come true for me and it is going to be a nightmare for Mike Tyson. It’s cool to be featured at Fanatics Fest alongside some of the biggest names in sports and I look forward to delivering a show the fans won’t soon forget on Friday, November 15th.”
Mike Tyson, the legendary former undisputed world heavyweight champion, is one of the biggest sports stars ever. The “Baddest Man on the Planet” is recognized as one of the greatest fighters of all time, ESPN’s #1 hardest hitter in heavyweight history, and the youngest heavyweight champion ever at just 20 years old. His explosive power and ferocious fighting style led to a staggering run of 37 consecutive victories, with 33 of those wins coming by knockout.
“I’m looking forward to facing off with Jake Paul at Fanatics Fest in NYC,” said Mike Tyson. “The countdown is back on. I’m feeling great and looking forward to knocking out Jake Paul on Friday, November 15th at AT&T Stadium in Texas on Netflix.”
“This press conference on Sunday, August 18 is just the beginning of what promises to be an extraordinary build-up to Friday, November 15,” said MVP co-founder Nakisa Bidarian. “It’s fitting to have Jake Paul and Mike Tyson face off in person at an event that highlights the most prominent brands in sports. We’re delighted to be part of Fanatics Fest and can’t wait to see fans from all over experience this historic build-up firsthand.”
“When we launched Fanatics Fest earlier this year, our vision was to create a platform where sports legends and cultural icons could connect with fans in unprecedented ways,” said Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin. “Hosting the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson press conference at Fanatics Fest NYC is a testament to that vision. This event embodies the energy, excitement, and passion that we aim to bring to every Fanatics Fest experience.”
