Jake Paul has shared how a spiritual experience led him to challenge boxing legend Mike Tyson. Iron’ Mike Tyson and ‘The Problem Child’ are set for a heavyweight boxing fight on November 15 and will be streamed on Netflix. This matchup might have never been made if it wasn’t for a fateful Ayahuasca trip Paul experienced.

Jake Paul and Ayahuasca

Ayahuasca is a powerful psychedelic brew that one can get access to in some areas of South America. With modern travelers, these shaman-led ceremonies can guide people to intense experiences where people can earn personal growth, healing from past traumas, or spiritual insights.

Jake Paul visited Costa Rica and partook in an Ayahuasca ceremony that helped him find the Mike Tyson boxing fight. He said:

“About two and a half years ago now, I went to Costa Rica for my first Ayahuasca ceremony. I wanted to uncover things about myself. One of the craziest things was the vision I had of me and Mike Tyson fighting as if it had already happened or something in future, or was going to happen, that’s the feeling that gave me. And, it showed me the millions of kids watching through their TV and their devices and it showed the butterfly effect of what that creates for the sport of boxing.”

It is now a reality. Jake Paul and Mike Tyson are set to fight live from AT&T Stadium in Texas, USA. ‘The Problem Child’ has made a professional boxing career by defeating former UFC fighters. ‘Iron’ Mike was a powerful striker and world champion during the 80s and 90s but has not fought professionally since 2005.

Mike Tyson is no stranger to mind-altering substances as well. He claims that psychedelics, particularly “magic mushrooms” containing psilocybin, have had a profound positive impact on his life and well-being. Tyson believes that using these substances has helped him overcome his addiction to cocaine and alcohol. He has even stated that he uses psychedelic mushrooms during his training sessions.

At 58 years old, fans are hoping Mike Tyson still has some of his strength left to take on the YouTuber.

Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson may be a lose-lose situation says former UFC heavyweight fighter Brendan Schaub. The athlete discussed the highly anticipated boxing matchup on his podcast.

Brendan Schaub on Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson

Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson is going down on November 15 and can be watched on Netflix. ‘Iron‘ Mike Tyson is a heavyweight boxing legend who collected world titles in the 80s and 90s with thunderous knockout power. His last professional bout was in 2005 and he is now 58 years old.

‘The Problems Child’ Jake Paul is 27 years old and has a list of boxing victories over former UFC fighters. In the ring, Paul has defeated fighters such as Nate Diaz, Anderson Silva, and Tyron Woodley, among others.

Former UFC heavyweight fighter Brendan Schaub said that Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson is not a great fight for anyone involved. On his podcast, he explained:

“I love Mike Tyson. Love Jake [Paul]. I hope it f*cking crushes, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out the upside to this. Let’s go through the scenario; if you’re Jake, so you knock him out—horrible dude. What the f*ck. You just beat up an old man.

“You get knocked out—told you this guy is a joke. You get beat up by a 58-year-old. The third scenario here is it goes to a decision. That’s a disaster and nobody’s coming back. That’s a disaster business-wise for Netflix, it’s a disaster for Jake Paul—went to a decision with 58-year-old Mike Tyson. The only person who wins is Mike Tyson. He can do no wrong. He gets knocked out—he’s 58 and gets paid.

“He beats Paul—f*ck yeah. All the old guys are like, ‘Yeah!’ Goes to a decision, Tyson wins. For Netflix, dude, I don’t know. Let’s say if Tyson wins, what’s next? What are you going to do? Mike Tyson vs. Logan Paul to avenge his brother? Tyson vs. KSI? That’s the business model.” [Ht MiddleEasy]

How much are Jake Paul and Mike Tyson Being Paid? To Split $80 Million Purse in November Blockbuster Bout

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson will be paid handsomely for their November 15 professional boxing bout. The two heavyweight boxers will be taking money from ticket sales at the AT&T Stadium and the streaming service Netflix.

How much are Jake Paul and Mike Tyson Being Paid?

Jake Paul, the 27-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer, has hinted at a potential $40 million payout for the fight. During a promotional press conference, Paul stated his intention to “make 40 million dollars and knock out a legend.”

On the other hand, Mike Tyson, the 58-year-old former undisputed heavyweight champion, is reportedly set to earn at least $20 million for the bout. This figure was alluded to during Tyson’s appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in September 2024. Interestingly, Tyson suggested that he’s not fighting Paul for financial gain but rather to test himself.

The fight purse is estimated to be around $80 million, with reports suggesting a 50-50 split between the two fighters. This means Tyson could potentially earn up to $40 million, double the initial $20 million estimate. These figures are not officially confirmed and could be subject to change.

Jake Paul said:

“I’m here to make 40 million dollars and knock out a legend. I don’t give a f**k about anything else. And he’s the one that wanted it to be a pro fight. So he’s gonna get his a** knocked out real, real, for real on a real record. You’re gonna see on BoxRec — Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson, Jake Paul KOs Mike Tyson. I’m not here to do sh** besides make a bag.”

Jimmy Kimmel said to Mike Tyson:

“And I also want to ask you about the money ’cause I know you’re making a lot of money. I don’t know how much, whatever, at least 20 million dollars or something like that. He’s making a lot of money on this thing.”

Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua Disagree on Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul: Power vs. Age Debate

When it comes to Mike Tyson’s chances against Jake Paul, former heavyweight world champions Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua…

When it comes to Mike Tyson’s chances against Jake Paul, former heavyweight world champions Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are split down the middle.

In a matter of days, the ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’ will return to the ring for the first time in nearly 20 years when he meets ‘The Problem Child’ inside the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Despite the scrutiny surrounding their fight — much of it related to the 31-year age gap between the two generational stars — the event is expected to be one of the most-watched in combat sports history.

While Paul is nearly a 3-to-1 favorite according to DraftKings, fighters and fans alike appear to be split when it comes to who will come out on top in The Lone Star State on Friday, November 15.

During a recent interview on the Jonathan Ross Show, Anthony Joshua suggested that Paul’s youth will be the difference-maker.

“He [Mike Tyson] is older now,” Joshua said. “I pray that he comes out healthy. I think Jake Paul [wins] because of youth. That’s the only thing” (h/t talkSPORT).

Tyson Fury disagrees with Anthony Joshua’s assessment

Tyson Fury, on the other hand, thinks that ‘Iron’ is still packing the same iconic power he used to score 44 knockouts during his legendary run from 1985 to 2005.

“If Mike Tyson hits anybody, I don’t care if he’s 90, he’s going to knock them out cold isn’t he?” Fury said during an appearance on The MMA Hour earlier this year. He’s ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson, the baddest man on the planet. Jake Paul is very experienced now and he’s had a lot of fights but obviously, I have to back Mike Tyson for the knockout as he always backs me.”

Considering Tyson Fury’s father named him after the former undisputed heavyweight world champion, it’s only right that the Brit backs him against Paul.

How do you see things playing out when Tyson goes toe-to-toe with the YouTube sensation?

As Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson nears their boxing match, rapper Snoop Dogg has offered some insights into the smoking habits of the heavyweight legend ‘Iron’ Mike.

Snoop Dogg on Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson

‘Iron’ Mike Tyson is a heavyweight boxing icon who collected world titles in the 1980s. He was feared for his striking power, knockout record, and controversy outside the ring. According to Miek Tyson, regular CBD usage has helped him heal mentally and physically. In an interview, Tyson explained:

“I’ve been fighting for over 20 years, and my body has a lot of wear and tear. I had two surgeries and I used marijuana to calm my nerves, and it would take the pain away … But before, they had me on those opiates, and those opiates had me all screwed up … I thought about how much good I could do by helping people with cannabis. It was a no brainer“

While Tyson has not fought professionally since 2005, he did take an exhibition boxing match against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020. Reflecting on this fight, Snoop Dogg spoke to Joe Rogan and said: “The fact that he can still do that at 55, and he’s smoking Weed, Joe.“

Joe Rogan said, “I think he said he fought Roy Jones high.

Snoop Dogg responded, “I know for a fact he did.“

Roy Jones Jr. Reveals Jake Paul’s Big Challenge Against Mike Tyson: “I don’t fear for Mike

A notable rule change has Roy Jones Jr. firmly believing that Jake Paul could be in for some trouble in his rapidly approaching battle with the grizzled legend Mike Tyson.

The fight will occur on November 15th at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. It will supposedly be live-streamed to Netflix, and anybody with a subscription can catch the action.

Despite the gigantic 31-year age gap between the fighters, the fight has also been sanctioned by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation to be an official professional heavyweight boxing match. However, there have been a few alterations to the rules of the fight, which has Roy Jones Jr. believing that Jake Paul could be in for a long night.

Roy Jones Jr. Speaks on the rule changes for the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight

The fight’s rule change will see Paul and Tyson fight in 14-ounce gloves instead of the standard 10-ounce mitts. The duo will also box over eight two-minute rounds as opposed to the traditional three-minute rounds.

Mike Tyson was said to want the shorter rounds, as he said it would cause “more action. Roy Jones Jr., who faced Tyson back in 2020, doesn’t think these rule changes will suit Jake Paul very well.

“That’s the real question: how much can Jake survive?” Jones Jr told talkSPORT Drive (H/T Talk Sport). “That’s the real question because Mike has what it takes to get anyone out of there.”

“And I’m going to tell you this, when I boxed him four years ago it was only two-minute rounds but surprisingly he didn’t decline, he stayed the same the whole fight. And that surprised me. If they are doing two-minute rounds then Mike is not going to tire out, I already know that because I watched him do that.”

Jones Jr. is pretty confident that Tyson has got this one in the bag but doesn’t foresee any knockouts. Instead, he’s calling for the old legend to win via points.

“Well, I like Mike, probably by decision,” he said. “But if he chooses to go out and take him out, I think he can. However, I feel like if he feels comfortable, he will just box and enjoy himself. Why get in shape to go one round?”

“I don’t fear for Mike and how old he is. Mike is still hard to hit and Mike still hits hard as hell.”
