Nate Robinson vs Jake Paul agree to fight on Mike Tyson undercard

by

In a fight that just screams ‘2020’, former NBA player Nate Robinson, and YouTube star Jake Paul will get in the ring on the undercard of Mike Tyson’s comeback fight in Los Angeles.

After it was revealed that Tyson, the former heavyweight champion of the world, was returning against Roy Jones Jr. on September 13 (AEST), The Athletic’s Shams Charania broke the news of Robinson’s foray into boxing.

“I wanted to show that I’m a world class athlete,” Robinson told Charania. “I played college football, played in the NBA for 11 years, and I’m excited for this venture into the sport of boxing.

“Jake Paul, I want all the smoke.”

Robinson, 36, was the 21st pick in the 2005 NBA Draft, and at 5-foot-9, displayed incredible athleticism throughout his career; winning the Slam Dunk contest three times.

But boxing is a different beast, and Paul actually has some experience in the ring.

Paul has fought twice — against other YouTubers — in the last couple years; winning both fights in convincing fashion.

He labelled Robinson an “elite athlete”, but told Charania: “Make no mistake, on September 12, Nate will meet the canvas early.”

According to Heavy.com’s Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson, the fight is scheduled for eight three-minute rounds at 185-pounds.

Mike Tyson is set to return to the ring in September

by

Boxing legend Mike Tyson is returning to the ring at 54.

Thursday afternoon, Tyson announced he would officially be making a comeback in September, scheduling an exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr.

The pair of legendary boxers are set to fight in an eight-round exhibition on September 12 at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California as part of his newly-announced Legends Only League.

“Iron Mike” is considered one of the most dominant boxers in the sport’s history, finishing his first year as a professional boxer with an undefeated 15-0 record, all wins coming via knockout. All-time, Tyson has a 50-6 career record, with 44 wins coming by way of knockout, with his last fight being in 2005.

Jones Jr., another World Champion in the sport, has an all-time record of 66-9. His last bout came against Scott Sigmon in 2018.

Here is the first official promo for the return of two boxing legends:

Why is Tyson returning to the ring?

“Because I can do it,” he said in an interview with Max Kellerman of ESPN. “I can do it, and I believe other people believe they can do it too. Just because we’re 54, that don’t mean we have to start a new career and our life is totally over. Not when you feel as beautiful as I do, and I’m sure other people feel the same way.”

When being compared to some of the other legendary boxers who came out of retirement to fight, namely Muhammad Ali, Tyson said he’s different than those that have come before him.

Despite being 54 years old, he still feels capable of putting forth an exciting fight for fans to watch Tyson vs Jones .

“I feel like I’ve taken better care of my body than other fighters before me that retired and came back,” he said. “The name of the game is to get our fans excited and see us again.”

The Rules for Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr Fight in Carson, California.

by

Ever since the news about Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr broke out, boxing fans have raised several questions. While some of them have been answered, many are not; for example, the rules of the fight. Do you know about the bizarre rule that Tyson and Jones will have to follow during their exhibition match?

Tyson ended his professional boxing career on a sour note. The American boxer suffered two back-to-back losses in 2004 and 2005. Almost 15 years after his retirement, the legendary boxer will enter the ring again to fight Roy Jones Jr.

Although age is not on either man’s side, Jones will have some momentum behind him. The 51-year-old last fought in 2018 and retired on a four-fight win streak.

The Rules for Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr.

Tyson vs Jones will go down at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California. The duo will not be wearing any headgear during the match. Besides that, they will compete with 12-ounce gloves. And there will not be a winner unless there is a KO or a TKO.

Jake Paul to fight Nate Robinson on Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr undercard

by

With the monster bombshell that 54-year-old Mike Tyson will fight 51-year-old Roy Jones Jr in an eight-round pay-per-view exhibition where nobody really tries that hard to win on Sept. 12, we’ve got another bit of massive breaking news: YouTuber Jake Paul will fight former NBA player Nate Robinson on the same card, Shams Charania confirms.

Paul made his “pro boxing” debut on Jan. 30 as part of a DAZN card in Miami, beating fellow YouTuber AnEsonGib via first round stoppage. Paul, 23, had the look and build of someone athletic — he wrestled in high school, I think, but I’m not going to any lengths to confirm my memory of that information being true — while Gib did not.

It had been expected that Paul (1-0, 1 KO) would fight KSI, who had beef with Jake’s brother Logan Paul, resulting in both an amateur and pro bout between those two. KSI won a controversial decision in a controversial DAZN main event last November. Jake and KSI did a little act after Jake’s January fight, but maybe Big Ed Hearn has lost interest in the sideshows for the moment, what with having to scrape and claw to put his actual boxers onto cards.

As an aside, BoxRec have AnEsonGib ranked No. 971 of 1,193 cruiserweights in the world and if I were the 222 guys ranked below him I might be pretty upset.
