Remember, Paul and Tyson were expected to meet inside of the boxing ring last month before “Iron Mike” suffered a medical scare and was forced to withdraw from the fight. Most fight fans were happy to see the Netflix spectacle canceled because a 58-year-old Tyson should not be stepping in the ring with a 27-year-old Paul.
Tyson was replaced by former UFC fighter and current bareknuckle boxer, Mike Perry, who was dropped three times by Paul for an eventual TKO loss (highlights HERE).
Unfortunately, the Paul vs. Tyson matchup has already been re-booked for another Netflix-charged event on Nov. 15 from inside AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. There’s a chance that Tyson is able to channel his former self and put a beatdown on “Problem Child,” but the consensus is that Paul will take it to the former boxing champion and pad his already questionable boxing record.
Even if one of them has to die.
