In July, Mike Tyson is slated to return to the ring to fight YouTuber Jake Paul, and recently, the prize money for this match has been revealed.
On July 20th, Mike Tyson will make his comeback to the ring to face Jake Paul, a showdown that has garnered considerable attention from both the media and fans. Alongside the technical preparations of the two boxers gearing up for the fight, recent attention has also been drawn to the disclosed prize money.
Henry Cejudo, a UFC legend and a close friend of Mike Tyson, revealed on a recent podcast about the prize money for the two fighters, stating: “I believe there will be a really good payday for Mike. He’s set to earn nearly $20 million and is about to turn 58. Jake is 27 years old, and Mike is 57.
“I don’t like it, but I’ve been around Mike as he prepared for the fight with Roy Jones Jr. He’s disciplined and doesn’t smoke much, often running every day at 5 in the morning. If anyone has the ability to knock this guy out, it’s Mike.
“It’s unclear how much Paul will make, but he claimed to have made $30 million when he lost to Tommy Fury last year.”
According to Henry Cejudo’s sharing, the match between Mike Tyson and Paul is deemed more enticing, with the minimum reward for the YouTuber being at least $30 million. Therefore, the total prize money for the Tyson and Paul bout is predicted to be around $50 million – equivalent to over 1,200 billion VND.
Mike Tyson hasn’t competed professionally since being defeated by Kevin McBride in 2005, and his most recent fight was four years ago against Roy Jones Jr. Therefore, his upcoming return to the boxing ring against Paul promises to be highly captivating.
