However, the fight has now been confirmed to be taking place this November by Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), the company organizing the occasion. The event will still take place at the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium – home of the Dallas Cowboys – in Arlington, Texas, with streaming service Netflix retaining exclusive broadcast rights.
This provocative mimicry extends to his trash talk, echoing Tyson’s own words, promising a brutal showdown: “I’m the most brutal, vicious, and most ruthless champion there’s ever been… On the 20th, I’ll come out victorious, I promise you.” Fans are left questioning: Is Paul’s tattoo a real commitment or just temporary bravado for hype? His theatrical homage blurs the line between respect and audacity, igniting anticipation for the fight.
Round 5: Joyce tries to open up and increase the pace. He needs to and a few shots get through. He is at least out-landing Zhang in this round but still eating monster left hands every so often. Joyce is just never off the line, Zhang could hit him with his eyes closed at this point. Good short left hook from Joyce, Zhang felt that. Talking of eyes being closed, Joyce’ right eye is in very poor shape. By poor shape, I mean it looks like a truck has run over the right-hand side of the Juggernaut’s face.
The victory made it a clean sweep for Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions, site here which was squaring off with rival U.K. promoter Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing in a unique 5 vs. 5 team concept created by Turki Alalshikh, the chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority.
Adding, “We sat down and spoke and he didn’t really want to fight and he wasn’t prepared to and that was one of the reasons he got the tattoo. After a good hour talk, I was in tears when I left the house that night. I went and stayed in a hotel because I was pretty despondent.”

Chinese powerhouse Zhilei Zhang scored an emphatic fifth-round TKO over Deontay Wilder and may have closed the lid on the former WBC heavyweight champ’s career at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh on Saturday. The official time was 1:51.
In a dramatic turn of events, the second press conference between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, held Thursday in Texas, concluded with an unexpected altercation. The previously lighthearted atmosphere witnessed…
I was excited on the ride back to Tryon. I was sitting with a bunch of Cus’s roses in my lap. I had never seen roses in person before, only on television, but I wanted some because they looked so exquisite. I wanted to have something nice to take back with me, so I asked him if I could take some. Between the smell of the roses and Cus’s words ringing in my ears, I felt good, like my whole world had changed. In that one moment, I knew I was going to be somebody.
Paul built a significant fan following as a YouTube influencer and turned professional in boxing four years ago. He has won nine of 10 fights with six knockouts against mostly undistinguished opponents. His only loss came last year to Tommy Fury, half-brother of WBC heavyweight champ Tyson Fury.
Wilder finally throws a right but Zhang lands a right of his own that has Wilder moving. He cannot stay off the ropes and he refuses to get respect with his hands. There is only one possible outcome if this continues. Uppercut from Zhang in the corner just misses.
“Yeah, man, we almost got him, we almost got him,” they laughed. I had no idea what they were talking about and then they told me. They were boxing Mr. Stewart, one of the counselors. Bobby Stewart was a tough Irish guy, around 170 pounds, who had been a professional boxer. I was in my room one night when there was a loud, intimidating knock on the door. I opened the door and it was Mr. Stewart.
“My sights are set on becoming a world champion, and now I have a chance to prove myself against the greatest heavyweight champion of the world, the baddest man on the planet and the most dangerous boxer of all time.”
While Tyson is busy training, Paul is doing the podcast circuit talking about getting a tattoo. In fact, he says he wants to get a tattoo inspired by the Tyson face tattoo. “So I’m just like, f*** it, like, why not just do it because Tyson did it? It’s a story behind Tyson’s face tat is, it was like Wednesday of his fight week, and he just got it, and he showed up to the presser the next day with the face tat and he didn’t tell anybody. So I’m thinking about doing that in honor…”
Zhilei Zhang vs. Joe Joyce took place April 15 at the Copper Box Arena in London, England. WBO interim heavyweight champion Joe Joyce (15-1) put his belt on the line against Zhilei Zhang (25-1-1) in the night’s main event. The fight aired live on ESPN+.
But there was also a contingent of younger audience members who professed their loyalty to Paul, whose platform on YouTube and social media has made him an icon for a generation with an unconventional, if uneven, exposure to boxing.
