The event between social media influencer turned aspiring boxer Jake Paul and International Boxing Hall of Famer and two-time World Heavyweight champion Mike Tyson was one that stirred much opinion, criticism, and worry for Tyson’s health given that he would be getting back into the ring at fifty-eight years of age, more than twenty years removed from his last competitive fight in 2005 and four years removed from a charity exhibition, which had been the only time he had entered a Boxing ring since retirement. It was also a circumstance that as most events featuring those labeled as “Influencers” going against an athlete or a celebrity in a Boxing ring drew significant interest, particularly among those who are casual sports observers. For better or worse, that was the target demographic of the promotion and not those for whom Boxing is a regular passion. Part of the draw was of course the appeal of Mike Tyson, a fighter whom in his prime was the primary drawing card of his time in the ...

For a significant portion of 2024, the Boxing world has been buzzing over the announced bout between social media influencer, turned professional boxer Jake Paul and International Boxing Hall of Famer and former two-time World Heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. An encounter that just mentions of it has stirred a range of opinions and criticism. The primary reason for the criticism is obvious. Tyson, who has not fought professionally in over twenty years will be stepping back into the ring at age fifty-eight to face the twenty-seven year old Paul. While it needs to be pointed out for the purposes of factual accuracy that Tyson did participate in a charity exhibition in November 2020 at age fifty-four with fellow Hall of Famer Roy Jones, who was fifty-one during the global COVID-19 epidemic. While some may view an exhibition as something that might have helped Tyson work off theoretical “Ring Rust," there is a significant difference between an endeavor, which is designed to be an exhi...
