Boxing legend Mike Tyson says he does not need to be 100% for Jake Paul

They were hoping the Texas Licensing Regulators would monitor Tyson closely before the bout takes place next month. However, according to World Boxing News, the Texas Licensing Regulators will not only assess Tyson until the day before the fight. Therefore, there is a high risk that the bout could be cancelled just 24 hours before Iron Mike is set to step back into the ring.
Tyson earned his reputation as one of the most fearsome punchers the sport of boxing has ever known, racking up 24 first-round knockouts in a professional career that spanned from 1985 until his initial retirement in 2005.
Paul, 27, is an American YouTuber, actor, and professional boxer. His boxing career began in August 2018 with a white-collar boxing match against Deji Olatunji, in which he won via technical knockout. His professional boxing debut was against AnEsonGib in January 2020.
