Former cruiserweight champion Tony Bellew has only added to the pre fight hype for the controversial return of Mike Tyson, by being thrown out of the pre fight press conference.
Tyson, who is now 58, is the former undisputed world heavy champion who is returning to the ring after an absence of 19 years, against YouTuber and influencer 27 year old Jake Paul. The fight has been pushed back once already because Tyson had a stomach ulcer flare up on a flight.
Bellew landed a few blows at the influencer describing the fight as a publicity stunt, which led to the scouse fighter being ejected from the room.
Paul is no mere novice in the ring, and has racked up an impressive fight record winning 10 of his 11 bouts, 7 as Knock outs. In comparison “Iron” Mike Tyson has won 50 of his 58 bouts with 44 KOs.
The fight takes place at the AT&T stadium in Texas and will be streamed live on Netflix as a debut live event for the platform making it accessible for fans across the globe. The card also features a rematch between undisputed champion Katie Taylor and seven-division champion Amanda Serrano.
