Alright, let’s gab about this fella, Mike Tyson, in 2023 and beyond, you know, the one who used to knock folks out real quick. He’s been in the news a whole bunch lately, and not just for, you know, bein’ all tough and stuff.
Mike Tyson, that old fella, he’s comin’ back! Can you believe it? At 58 years young! I tell ya, that’s older than my prize-winning rooster, Heh! This fella, he’s gonna fight again. And who’s he fightin’? Some young whippersnapper named Jake Paul. This Jake, he’s one of them YouTubers. You know, those young’uns makin’ videos on the internet. I don’t get it, but the grandkids, they love it.
This fight, it’s gonna be a big deal. They’re sayin’ it’ll be at that big football stadium in Texas, where them Cowboys play. Imagine that, Mike Tyson, in a football stadium! They’re talkin’ about November 15, 2024. That’s a ways off, ain’t it? Gives Mike plenty of time to get hisself ready, I reckon. He’s gotta get them bones movin’ again, ya know? At his age, that ain’t easy.

- Date: Friday, November 15, 2024
- Location: AT&T Stadium, Arlington, Texas
Now, they say Mike ain’t been in the ring for a fight since, well, since way back in 2005. That’s almost 20 years! A long time, I tell ya. Back then, things were different. Mike was the champ, the baddest man on the planet. Now, well, he’s older, a bit slower maybe. But don’t you go countin’ him out! He still packs a punch, I bet.
This Jake Paul fella, he’s gonna get a whole lotta money for this fight, like 40 million dollars or somethin’. That’s enough to buy a whole lotta chickens, I tell ya! And Mike, well, I reckon he’s gettin’ a pretty penny too. He needs it, I guess. They say he had some troubles a while back, lost some money, got sick even. Heard he needed a whole bunch of that blood stuff, transfusions they call ‘em. Lost a lot of weight too, poor fella.
But Mike, he’s tough. He bounced back. He’s got this weed business now, and he’s always showin’ up places, makin’ deals. They say he’s worth about 10 million dollars now. That’s a lot, but not as much as he used to have, I heard. But money ain’t everything, right? Health is more important.
Mike Tyson’s Health Scare: Now, somethin’ scary happened to Mike not too long ago. He almost died, they say. Had to go to the hospital and get all that blood. Lost a whole bunch of weight too. Scared everyone, I bet. But he’s a fighter, that one. He pulled through. Now he’s back trainin’, gettin’ ready for this Jake Paul fight. He’s even trainin’ at some place called Verde Valley BJJ, whatever that is.
This fight, it’s kinda strange, ya know? An old fella like Mike fightin’ a young YouTuber. It’s like somethin’ out of a movie. But people, they love it. They wanna see if Mike’s still got it. They wanna see if he can knock that young fella out. Me? I just hope Mike don’t get hurt. He’s old enough to be that Jake’s grandpa, for goodness sake!
They’re sayin’ this might be Mike’s last fight. And that makes sense. He’s been fightin’ since he was a teenager. He’s had his ups and downs, won championships, lost money, got into trouble. But he always comes back. He’s a survivor, that Mike Tyson.
Born way back in 1966, this fella started boxin’ when he was just 18 years old. Knocked some fella named Hector Mercedes right out in the first round. Imagine that! Just a kid, and already knockin’ folks out. He was somethin’ special, that’s for sure. He became the heavyweight champion of the world, the youngest ever, they say.
Mike Tyson’s Legacy: Now, even though he’s older, and maybe not as fast as he used to be, Mike Tyson is still a legend. People all over the world know his name. He’s one of the greatest boxers of all time. And this fight against Jake Paul, win or lose, it ain’t gonna change that. He’s already proved himself, years ago. But, you know, it’d be nice to see him win one more time. It’d be a good story to tell the grandkids.
So, we’ll see what happens come November. Will Mike Tyson win? Will he knock Jake Paul out? Or will the young YouTuber surprise everyone? It’s hard to say. But one thing’s for sure, it’s gonna be one heck of a fight. And I’ll be watchin’, that’s for sure. Maybe with a nice cup of tea and some cookies. Heh!
And maybe, just maybe, this old fella Mike has one more knockout left in him. We’ll see. We’ll just have to wait and see.
