March 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Mike Tyson has shared a video from his training for his upcoming fight with Jake Paul. Despite being nearly 60, Tyson looked to be in great shape and was able to put a lot of power behind his punches. Furthermore, Tyson appeared in high spirits, stating that the “fun was just getting started”. It’s unsurprising that he still has power. Chuck Liddell told TMZ last week that it’s the last attribute to go for a fight.

Tyson will fight Paul in late July in Dallas. The event will be streamed exclusively on Netflix. “Mike Tyson is one of the biggest icons in boxing history and Jake Paul is one of the biggest disruptors in boxing history. Saturday, July 20 will be pure drama in the ring in Texas. We are thrilled to partner with Most Valuable Promotions for this historic event and we can’t wait for these two to face off for fans all across the world on Netflix,” said Gabe Spitzer, VP of Sports Nonfiction at Netflix. The event will be the latest sports offering from the streaming giant. There has been previously been the Netflix Slam for tennis and the Netflix Cup for an F1/PGA crossover.

Logan Paul Reveals Rejected Fight With Mike Tyson, Calls Boxing Legend “Senile”

However, not everyone is hyped for the fight. Logan Paul has revealed on his podcast that he rejected a fight with Mike Tyson. “He’s too old. He’s senile,” Paul reasoned. Interestingly, Jake Paul had also previously spoken about not wanting to fight Tyson. “Look, I’m confident, but I’m not stupid. I would not go into the ring with them. Nah, no chance,” the then 2-0 boxer told TMZ in 2020.

Furthermore, KSI has took aim at the fight as well. “50+ years old. No one wanted this…So sad to see man…,” KSI wrote in response to the announcement. However, it’s not the first time that KSI has gone after Paul. In December, KSI announced that he was no longer interested in fighting Jake Paul after news broke alleging that Paul was yet to sell out his fight against Andre August. “Yeah, he ain’t got any hype anymore. I ain’t wasting my time to fight him lol,” KSI wrote on X.

March 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Mase recently revealed that Cam’ron ran into Mike Tyson just after picking Jake Paul to beat the legendary boxer in their upcoming fight. Opening their It Is What It Is show, Mase explained that Cam’ron was still on his way to the studio and called him to let him know he spotted Tyson behind him at the airport.

“Cam is on his way here, he’s probably not gonna make this show. He was calling me while he was getting on this flight and he had some sad news,” Mase explained. “Mike Tyson, the guy he was running his mouth about, was standing right behind him when I saw him on FaceTime. I think Mike was whispering too him, ‘Cam, I need to talk to you.’ And then Cam say he gonna call me back but he never called me back. So for everybody watching this, pray for Cam right now. I’m praying for Cam, you pray for Cam that Mike Tyson did not take his comments seriously. This is what happens when you run your mouth. How ironic was it that Mike Tyson was there right behind him?”

Cam had taken Paul during a previous episode of the show, explaining that it depends on how long the fight lasts. “Mike is my man [but] this is my prediction for the fight: if Mike don’t get him out of there in five rounds, then I believe that Jake Paul’s gonna win the fight,” Cam theorized. Mase replied at the time: “Killa, I hope you don’t see Mike. Mike gonna want to talk to you about that.” Check out Mase’s latest update on Cam below.

Logan Paul Reveals Rejected Fight With Mike Tyson, Calls Boxing Legend “Senile”

March 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Logan Paul has revealed on his podcast that he rejected a fight with Mike Tyson. “He’s too old. He’s senile,” Paul reasoned. The news comes just under a week after Netflix revealed that Logan’s brother Jake would be fighting Tyson in July. Interestingly, Jake Paul had also previously spoken about not wanting to fight Tyson. “Look, I’m confident, but I’m not stupid. I would not go into the ring with them. Nah, no chance,” the then 2-0 boxer told TMZ in 2020.

“Mike Tyson is one of the biggest icons in boxing history and Jake Paul is one of the biggest disruptors in boxing history. Saturday, July 20 will be pure drama in the ring in Texas.

Logan Paul Emotionally Recalls The Rock Dropping Him After Infamous Japan Video

Elsewhere, Logan recently bared his heart on his podcast, telling John Cena about the impact that the Rock dropping him had on his psyche. “I knew I let my family down. I knew I let my fans down. But letting my idol down? That really hurt,” Paul explained, the emotion in his voice tangible. What hurt even more, Paul explained, is that prior to The Rock dropping, the pair had been close and Paul considered the wrestler and actor a genuine acquaintance.

According to Paul, the inciting incident for The Rock dropping him was his infamous 2017 Japan vlog. Paul and his friends, who had been traveling Japan, decided to visit and film in Aokigahara, also known as the “Suicide Forest” due to the high rate of suicides that take place there. As part of Paul’s vlog, which was uploaded to his YouTube channel, he filmed a recently deceased individual that he and his friends encountered. While Paul had been controversial prior to the video, the vlog was one of the first incidents that defined Paul as one of the site’s most divisive creators. And from what Paul has now revealed, it appeared to cost him a relationship with one of his heroes.

Video Of Jake Paul Saying He Wouldn’t Fight Mike Tyson Resurfaces

March 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

A video from 2020 of Jake Paul saying he wouldn’t fight Mike Tyson has resurfaced after the pair announced a bout in July. “Look, I’m confident, but I’m not stupid. I would not go into the ring with them. Nah, no chance,” the then 2-0 boxer told TMZ. Paul will fight Tyson in a boxing match at AT&T Stadium in Dallas and streamed live on Netflix. The streaming platform announced the July fight on social media to the surprise of the sporting world. The fight, which will likely be fought as an exhibition match, comes in the midst of Paul taking his boxing career more seriously. The last time that Tyson fought was an exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr in November 2020.

KSI Mocks Paul-Tyson Fight

However, not everyone is keen for the fight. KSI has taken aim at the recently announced fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. “50+ years old. No one wanted this…So sad to see man…,” KSI wrote in response to the announcement. However, it’s not the first time that KSI has gone after Paul. In December, KSI announced that he was no longer interested in fighting Paul after news broke alleging that Paul was yet to sell out his fight against Andre August. “Yeah, he ain’t got any hype anymore. I ain’t wasting my time to fight him lol,” KSI wrote on X. The smaller venue fight at an Orlando casino was being hailed by Paul as his way of proving his boxing credentials rather than his PPV draw ability.

Despite this, Paul is clearly looking beyond KSI at this point. Paul took aim at Canelo Alvarez after beating Ryan Bourland with a first-round TKO in Puerto Rico. “Hey, Canelo, stop ducking. I know you want it. I’m repping Puerto Rico; you’re repping Mexico. So, it’s Puerto Rico versus Mexico,” Paul said. It’s not the first time that Paul (9-1) has called out Alvarez (60-2-2). However, Canelo told the YouTuber-turned-boxer to “stay in his lane” the last time Paul made such a challenge.

However, Tyson is not the only boxing legend Paul is coming for. Paul took aim at Canelo Alvarez after beating Ryan Bourland with a first-round TKO in Puerto Rico. “Hey, Canelo, stop ducking. I know you want it. I’m repping Puerto Rico; you’re repping Mexico. So, it’s Puerto Rico versus Mexico,” Paul said. It’s not the first time that Paul (9-1) has called out Alvarez (60-2-2). However, Canelo told the YouTuber-turned-boxer to “stay in his lane” the last time Paul made such a challenge.

However, Paul’s MVP event in his adopted island home was not all good news. MVP was forced to scrap Amanda Serrano’s Puerto Rican homecoming just minutes before the fight was meant to begin. Serrano was deemed unfit to fight due to an eye injury sustained on Friday. “She wanted to fight, but the doctor didn’t allow her to fight, because of the problem in the left eye. I assume the fight will be rescheduled and we will sanction the fight,” WBO President Paco Valcarcel said. MVP offered full refunds and promised to pay out Serrano’s opponent’s purse.

Mike Tyson Plane Fight Victim Asks For $450K in Pre-Litigation Settlement

November 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Melvin Townsend, the man assaulted by Mike Tyson on an AirBlue flight last year, has demanded $450K from the boxer, according to pre-litigation documents. Townsend’s attorney, Jake Jondle, claims that the amount of money would cover Townsend’s legal and medical bills, as well as ending any legal claims against Tyson.

However, Tyson’s attorney has dismissed the demand as nothing more than a “shakedown”. “I have received a shakedown letter related to some instigator’s harassment of Mike a year ago and the aftermath. There will be no shakedown payment,” Alex Shapiro said. Tyson has long maintained that Townsend instigated the confrontation by throwing a water bottle at Tyson and “f-cking with me”, in Tyson’s own words. Furthermore, prosecutors declined to charge Tyson in relation to the incident. This remains a developing story and we’ll have any updates as they emerge.

Mike Tyson Calls AI Biggie & 2Pac Song “F-cked Up”

Tyson typically keeps to himself nowadays. However, some of the moments from his podcast, Hotboxin’ With Mike, go viral. Back in May, Tony Yayo stopped by Mike Tyson’s podcast, Hotboxin’ with Mike. They discussed many topics, including the shooting of Yayo’s close friend 50 Cent. However, they also broached the topic of AI art.“Let me tell you how ill computers is takin’ over. You ever heard of AI music?” Yayo asked Tyson and his co-host DJ Whoo Kid. “Do me a favor: play ‘Many Men’ by 50 Cent, 2Pac and Biggie.” The AI-generated song, while not a perfect imitation of the three iconic rappers, was enough to shock the studio.

“That’s f-cked up, bruh,” Tyson commented before simply adding, “Woah.” Whoo also added a similar thought on the track. “Yo! This is crazy! This is insane. That don’t even make no sense.” While Yayo was impressed by the track, it shows the potential of what AI can do – bringing back dead artists. However, with that comes with concern as the industry grapples with the question of whether those artists, their memory, and their legacy, should be left alone.

Mike Tyson Net Worth 2023: What Is The Boxing Heavyweight Legend Worth?

November 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

As of 2023, Mike Tyson, the iconic figure in the world of boxing, boasts an estimated net worth of around $10 million. This figure, sourced from Celebrity Net Worth, paints a complex picture of a career marked by astounding success and notable challenges.

Born on June 30, 1966, in Brooklyn, New York, Mike Tyson’s journey from a troubled childhood to a world-renowned heavyweight champion is a tale of grit and determination. Growing up in a high-crime neighborhood, Tyson was embroiled in petty crimes and street fights. This led to multiple arrests by the age of 13. However, his life changed dramatically when his boxing talent was discovered in a juvenile detention center.

Tyson’s Rise To Fame

Tyson’s professional debut in boxing was nothing short of spectacular. At just 18, he won his first fight with a first-round TKO. This set the stage for a series of early victories that quickly propelled him into the limelight. In 1986, at 20, Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in history, a record that still stands. His aggressive style, characterized by ferocity and power, earned him the title of “The Hardest Hitter in Heavyweight History” by ESPN.

Despite earning over $430 million from fights and endorsements during his career, Tyson’s financial journey has been tumultuous. His lavish lifestyle, mismanagement, and legal troubles led to a significant loss of his fortune. In 2003, Tyson filed for bankruptcy, with debts amounting to $23 million. His financial woes were further compounded by exploitative contracts and high fees paid to promoters and managers.

The Controversial Career Of A Legend

Tyson’s career was not without its controversies. His boxing license was rescinded in 1997 following an infamous incident where he bit Evander Holyfield’s ear during a match. Legal issues also plagued Tyson, including a conviction for rape in 1991, resulting in a six-year prison sentence.

Tyson’s legacy in the boxing world remains unchallenged despite the ups and downs. His unique style, combining defensive tactics with aggressive counter-punching, revolutionized heavyweight boxing. Tyson’s influence extends beyond the ring, with appearances in films and television showcasing his multifaceted personality.

Mike Tyson’s Net Worth In 2023

As of 2023, Tyson’s net worth is estimated at $10 million. This figure reflects his earnings from boxing and endorsements and his ventures into entertainment and other business endeavors. Tyson’s journey from a troubled youth to a boxing legend and cultural icon is a testament to his resilience and enduring appeal.

Mike Tyson’s story is one of extraordinary talent, personal challenges, and financial rollercoasters. As reported by Celebrity Net Worth, his current net worth of $10 million underscores a career that has been as much about battling personal demons as it has been about dominating the boxing ring. Tyson remains a figure of immense interest and respect in the sporting world, his legacy a complex tapestry of triumph, tragedy, and redemption.
