Not money-motivated
Mike Tyson is gearing up for a £60million match against Jake Paul, but he insists that the hefty purse is not the driving force behind his return to the ring.
Return to the ring
Despite blowing through £250m during his heyday, Tyson claims that the money from the fight will not change his lifestyle and that he is back in boxing to test himself.
Changing the game
Tyson, who last fought professionally in 2005, sees this fight as an opportunity to be a trailblazer and be a part of changing the boxing landscape.
Health concerns
Tyson faced scrutiny after pulling out of the initial July 20 date due to a health precaution. However, he has been medically cleared to resume training and is looking forward to the fight.
Experience vs. Ten fights
Tyson believes that even a fraction of his former self will be enough to defeat Jake Paul, who has only had ten fights. He is confident that his experience will give him the edge in the ring.
