After nearly a year of back-and-forth taunts and postponements, the long-awaited boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul is just hours away. On Nov. 14, ahead of their big fight, the two pugilists stripped down for their official weigh-in and spoke to reporters about what to expect tomorrow night.
The weigh-in, held by Paul's company Most Valuable Productions, was closed to the public, so their exact weights remain unknown. But when speaking to The Hollywood Reporterlast month, Paul disclosed his weight of 216 pounds, while he expected Tyson to weigh 235 on match day. The match is being contested in the heavyweight division—a homecoming of sorts for heavyweight champ Tyson.
Both Tyson and Paul have been giving looks into their intense training regimens on social media in the months leading up to the bout. Tyson revealed on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in September that he spends about six hours a day in the gym in preparation for the match, while a video of Paul went viral as the YouTuber-turned-boxer withstood a flurry of punches directly to his stomach.
The fighters have been talking a big game in the lead-up to the match. Speaking to TMZearlier this week, Tyson said the bout transcends the world of sports.
"This is the biggest fight in the history of life," he said. "There's never been a fight this big."
Despite Paul being 30 years his junior, Tyson isn't worried about a younger person getting the better of him. "Friday night, they can look forward to seeing that man Jake Paul get beaten bad," he said. "My intention is to knock him out."
The match won't look like your typical regulation bout. It'll consist of eight two-minute rounds and will feature the boxers wearing 14-ounce gloves. While it was previously set to be an exhibition match, it's now an officially sanctioned fight that will go on both of their professional boxing records; this marks Tyson's first sanctioned match since facing Roy Jones Jr. in 2005.
It all goes down Nov. 15 when the main event streams live on Netflix at 8 p.m. ET.
