Who Mike Tyson next fight be against?
After years of waiting, boxing fans were able to see Mike Tyson in the ring one more time in November. Unfortunately, he looked like a 58-year-old athlete in his loss to Jake Paul. While it is far from a guarantee he returns, he is open to the idea.
In the event he does have one final bout in the ring, matchups with Paul’s brother Logan, Evander Holyfield, or UFC legend Anderson Silva are possible.
- The Other Paul: There have already been rumblings that WWE has an interest in doing something with Tyson and Paul. An actual boxing fight with Jake’s brother is possible. And while Logan is bigger and stronger he is an inexperienced boxer that would leave openings for a highlight reel knockout.
- Real Deal: Holyfield and Tyson have a long history. One final bout between the enemies turned friends seems fitting to close out their careers as athletes.
- The Spider: Anderson Silva made the transition from MMA to boxing over the last decade. A boxing scrap between two icons of their sports, and men closer in age, certainly isn’t out of the question.
Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul recap
While the build to Tyson vs. Paul was a massive success as millions tuned in. Strains on Netflix’s servers and a boring bout disappointed the massive amount of fight fans who streamed the event.
What Happened: The fear was that despite looking great in hype videos, the reality of being a 58-year-old man would show. And sadly, that was the case in November as Tyson seemed to have trouble pulling the trigger and was unable to cut off the ring as Paul was on his bike.
The output from both men was low and by the end, fans were grateful the fight was only eight two-minute rounds.
The Fallout: Paul took much of the heat for how the fight turned out since he was the younger man by 30 years. Most hope Tyson officially retires but “Iron” seemed open to one more fight under the right circumstances.
What’s Next? It is likely Tyson will never fight again. But we also didn’t think he would fight two more times after walking around from the sport a couple of decades ago. So you just never know with Mike Tyson.
