The Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson boxing spectacle is one month away.
Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) today released the official trailer for the Nov. 15 fight card, which airs live from inside AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. In addition to Paul vs. Tyson, super lightweight world champion Katie Taylor will defend her undisputed strap unified featherweight titleholder Amanda Serrano in the 10-round co-main event.
“Mike wanted this, Mike wanted it to be a pro fight,” Paul said during the kickoff press conference. “He wants the war. I respect that. I respect him for taking this fight, for stepping up, to try to put an end to me. Because that’s what all these fighters have been trying to do, is end the YouTuber — and if Mike can do that, then he’s a hero.”
“This is what I was born to do, to move up into this weight class, and I’m going to show Mike who has more power because he’s underestimating me,” Paul continued. “I think everyone else is underestimating me and I believe I hit harder. I’m scared, don’t get me wrong, but it’s not about the fear stopping me. It’s about going into it even though I am scared, and that’s what true bravery is.”
Also on the main card will be the 12-round championship showdown for the WBC welterweight title between reigning champion Mario Barrios and top contender Abel Ramos, as well as a six-round super middleweight fight between India’s number one boxer Neeraj Goyat opposite Brazilian bruiser Whindersson Nunes.
