Mike Tyson plans to make a comeback in November, facing Jake Paul in a controversial crossover fight. The former undisputed heavyweight champion is also considering a surprising match with Anthony Joshua should he beat the YouTuber-turned-boxer.
Tyson has been intensely preparing for his return to the ring, his first since battling Roy Jones Jr. in November 2020 during the Covid pandemic.

The 57-year-old boxing legend is aiming to eventually share the ring with Joshua in a charity bout. However, Tyson must first overcome YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul, who will be 31 years younger than Tyson on the night of the fight.
“I’m very interested [in fighting Joshua],” Tyson told TMZ.
“If doing that means we can have a bigger charity exponent, well so be it, I’m down to do that, too.
“I would love to [fight Joshua]. That would be mind-blowing.”
A concerned Joshua
Meanwhile, Joshua has voiced concerns about Tyson‘s health as he prepares for his comeback. The boxing community has reacted with outrage to the announcement of Tyson vs. Paul, with many fans expressing their disapproval of Paul.
“[Mike Tyson is] older now,” Joshua told the The Jonathan Ross Show.
“I pray that he comes out healthy. I think Jake Paul because of youth – that’s the only thing.”
Surprisingly, Joshua supports Paul‘s gimmick-driven fights despite the controversy.
Originally set for July 20, the bout between Tyson and Paul has been rescheduled to November 15 due to a medical issue faced by Tyson.
In his last appearance, Joshua delivered a powerful second-round knockout against former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou in a Saudi Arabia match in March.
