Mike Tyson is chasing immorality with his upcoming fight with Jake Paul — but is ready to leave it all in the ring if needed.
Tyson, 58, slated to fight boxing-Youtuber Jake Paul in a match on Nov. 15 that will be broadcasted on Netflix , said he’d rather die in the ring than on a hospital bed.“This is really big for me, if I win, I will be immortal,” Tyson said according to a clip released from Netflix ’s upcoming documentary on the fight. “If I do it bad, I don’t want to die in a hospital bed, I want to die in the ring.
While he has been training hard for this fight, Tyson hasn’t been punched in the face at full strength during a professional boxing match since 2005, when he quit on the stool while fighting Kevin McBride.The sad farewell to the boxing ring was followed 15 years later by an exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr., where there were unclear rules for the match.
No knockouts were expected in the fight, any cuts that occurred would result in the end of the fight and it was listed as a draw.“I don’t do anything if I don’t risk being embarrassed,” Tyson said in the Netflix clip. “Like now I want to fight this young motherf–ker.”Erik Pendzich/Shutterstock
