The Golden Boy, Oscar De La Hoya, has voiced his concerns for Mike Tyson’s safety as Tyson prepares to return to the ring after almost two decades. Tyson, at 57, will be facing the much younger 27-year-old Jake Paul, who has gained recognition beyond his YouTube origins as a professional boxer. The bout is scheduled to take place at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, under professional rules set by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. The match will consist of eight rounds, each lasting two minutes, with both fighters wearing 14oz gloves for added protection.
De La Hoya, a former champion across six weight classes, expressed his worry for Tyson’s well-being, urging him to be cautious in facing the formidable Paul. De La Hoya conveyed his apprehensions in an interview with TMZ, emphasizing his respect and concern for Tyson’s safety in the upcoming match. Despite Jake Paul’s only loss in the ring last year, he is considered a strong favorite to secure a victory against Tyson, who has a professional record of 50 wins and 6 losses. Despite the odds, Tyson expresses gratitude for the opportunity to compete in the match against Jake Paul.
In addition to the discussion around the upcoming bout, there is a mention of community engagement, promotions, and the option to leave the community. This information seems unrelated to the boxing match and may be intended for a separate context.
