In the Netflix-streamed co-main event, undisputed super lightweight champion Katie Taylor rematches unified featherweight titleholder Amanda Serrano.
All four combatants will take the stage on Monday afternoon (May 13, 2024) for the “Paul vs. Tyson” kickoff press conference, streaming LIVE at 5:30 p.m. ET in the embedded video above from inside Apollo Theater in New York City. In addition, pre-fight face offs will be conducted at the conclusion of today’s presser in “The Empire State.” Don’t expect “The Problem Child” to get a warm welcome from fight fans.
“It’s crazy to think that in my second pro fight, I went viral for knocking out Nate Robinson on Mike Tyson’s undercards,” Paul said. “Now, less than four years later, I’m stepping up to face Tyson myself to see if I have what it takes to beat one of boxing’s most notorious fighters and biggest icon. My sights are set on becoming a world champion, and now I have a chance to prove myself against the greatest heavyweight champion ever, the baddest man on the planet and the most dangerous boxer of all time.”
