Although the former heavyweight champion’s economy will receive a huge boost for his fight in July, ‘Iron Mike’ is securing another success outside the ring.

Mike Tyson didn’t succeed in managing his fortune properly when he was a boxing superstar, but things seem to have changed a lot since then. Tyson’s fame has helped him to overcome his financial issues through exhibition fights, appearances on TV shows and movies, and his Hotboxin with Mike Tyson podcast. And now he will have the chance to make lots of money by taking on Jake Paul in an exhibition boxing fight in July.

But his best punch comes from cannabis. TYSON 2.0, the premium cannabis brand of the boxing living legend, and Carma HoldCo Inc, the parent company that operates it, made a big step toward expanding from North America to Europe. They teamed up with the multinational pharmaceutical company PHCANN to exclusively cultivate, manufacture, and distribute TYSON 2.0 products across Germany and the UK.

“Collaborating with PHCANN to bring my premium TYSON 2.0 cannabis products to Germany and the UK is a natural move as industry heavyweights,” said Tyson, co-founder, and chief brand officer of TYSON 2.0.

“I’m excited to make our world-class products available to medical cannabis patients in the region. Together, we’re setting new standards and delivering something that no one else is bringing to the table”, he added.

PHCANN International CEO Sasho Stefanoski said the partnership is a key move for the cannabis industry in Europe:

“We embrace this opportunity as many countries look toward regulatory changes. To partner with the TYSON 2.0 brand and join forces as well-respected industry leaders put us in a position where we can lead the charge in pushing industry boundaries.

Meanwhile, the PHCANN International Co-Founder Yuval Soiref expressed that “TYSON 2.0′s extensive selection of acclaimed cannabis products, will be available to German and UK patients this summer – on track to make it one of the largest cannabis brands in the world”.

The partnership takes place a few weeks after Tyson and the former wrestling legend Ric Flair teamed up with Elevated Labs in New Mexico through Carma HoldCo, a big move growth strategy in North America.

The Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight just got bigger. Not to be outdone by his brother, Logan Paul, announcing a new baby, Jake rolled out a stroller of his own to help him reveal a huge announcement that fans have been dying to see.

While nostalgia and internet clout will be the featured currency in the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight, their historic Netflix card now features a major event with critical stakes in the here and now. Fans already have a little taste of everything, and who knows who they might add next.

Mike Tyson has been incorporating sprint training into his preparations for the Jake Paul fight.

The boxing legend uploaded a video to social media of him running a 30-yard dash ahead of his upcoming clash with the Problem Child on July 20.

For a middle-aged man, he certainly looked impressive, but supporters have been left divided.

One fan posted on X: “He looks old.”

Another added: “Looking terrible Mike.”

Meanwhile, a third had a differing opinion, stating: “Mike Tyson looks better than 90 per cent of male people and he is almost 60 years old. Amazing.”

Jake Paul v. Mike Tyson: Netflix to air boxing match

When Tyson and Paul square off in the summer it will be a battle of age versus experience.

Paul is 30 years ‘Iron Mike’s’ junior at 27 but has nowhere as many fights under his belt.

The ex-Disney star has fought ten times (9-1) in the paid ranks since turning professional in 2020.

By contrast, Tyson has competed in 58 professional boxing bouts (50-6-2).

However, the last time we saw him compete in a pro bout he looked a shadow of his former self as he retired on his stool against Kevin McBride at the end of the sixth round.

Since then, he has returned to the ring twice.

Although nothing has been confirmed at the time of writing, Tyson insists it will be an exhibition with ‘real fight’ rules.

“This is called an exhibition, but if you look up exhibition, you won’t see any of the laws we’re fighting under,” he told Fox News.

“This is a fight. I don’t think he’s faster than me. I’ve seen a YouTube video of him at 16 doing weird dancing.

“That’s not the guy I’m fighting. This is a guy who’s going to try and hurt me, which I’m accustomed to, and he’s going to be greatly mistaken.”

Mike Tyson showed his social media followers Saturday just how ready he is to take on Jake Paul as he sparred with a member from his camp in a Nevada parking lot.

Tyson showed off his quickness with strikes to the trainer’s body and hands along with a powerful right hook. It was a clear warning to Paul to show that the 57-year-old former heavyweight champion still has it.

Tyson and Paul will square off on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The two competitors have started the trash-talking with more than three months to go before the bell sounds.

Paul appeared on “Jesse Watters Primetime” earlier in the week and said Tyson was “underestimating” him.

“I think he’s underestimating me. I truly, I truly think that. And it’s a heavyweight fight,” Paul said. “He’s the bigger man, but I’m the faster man. He’s the much stronger man, but I’m fresh. He’s experienced.

“I’m smart, but, in the ring, he may be smarter. So, it’s a really interesting matchup. But I think the whole world … and I think a lot of people see his training videos. And, yes, he looks like a beast. He’s a dog. He’s ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson.

“But I believe I have what it takes to beat him. I know this is the toughest test of my life, and it’s an honor to be in there with Mike. But at the end of the day, I’m gonna be the one who gets my hand raised.”

Tyson said on “Hannity” that he was “scared” about fighting Paul, but that was a part of him getting mentally ready.

Tyson said Paul has come “a long way from YouTubing.”

Jake Paul is one hundred percent focused on his preparation for the July 20 fight against Mike Tyson. The exhibition bout has the content creator working overtime preparing for him in boxing, even if it means delaying his other plans, such as his mixed martial arts (MMA) debut.

Paul’s attitude is understandable. Although the almost 30-year age difference evens the scales, “Iron Mike” is one of the toughest opponents the YouTuber-turned-boxer has faced in his short career.

So far, the only loss on Paul’s 9-1 record was against Tommy Fury, the only professional boxer he has faced. Although the result was a split decision and Fury is far from being a top-class boxer, this shows the difference that still exists between so-called influencer boxing and professional boxing.

That is why Paul has decided to focus on boxing, even at the cost of delaying his long-awaited debut in MMA. It is worth remembering that the influencer has signed a contract to fight with the Professional Fighters League (PFL) promotion in 2024.

Paul’s debut will have to wait

PFL manager Donn Davis assured that Jake Paul will debut in MMA but also admitted that plans are on hold due to his fight with Tyson“So his development in MMA is not coming along as quickly as we thought. Will he fight for the PFL? One hundred percent,” Davis declared.

The businessman was optimistic about Paul’s development at the promotion. “The good news is, if people didn’t think Jake was serious about combat, he’s proven to be serious,” he explained.

He’s gotten better. He’s doubled down on boxing at the minute, there’s no question about it,” Davis emphasized, explaining, “There was a time when he might have done 50/50, and right now it looks like he might be 90 /10 in boxing and MMA.”

The younger brother of influencer and fighter Logan Paul is currently in Colorado, training with the US Olympic boxing team. This shows how seriously he is taking his exhibition fight against Tyson.

However, Paul also set up a PFL-style cage at his training headquarters in Puerto Rico. Furthermore, the Problem Child does not miss the opportunity to engage in insults exchanges with as many MMA figures as possible.

In one of his recent posts on X, formerly Twitter, Paul responded to the unflattering statements of the UFC fighters Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz. He assured neither of them could defeat him in a boxing match, so he challenged them to face him in MMA but in the PFL cage.

With the highly anticipated bout between boxing legend Mike Tyson and YouTube sensation-turned-boxer Jake Paul getting closer, former opponent Roy Jones Jr. has issued a chilling warning to Paul, likening Tyson’s ferocity to that of a “Pitbull dog.”

Jones Jr. says Mike Tyson won’t hold back

In a recent interview with Boxing King MediaJones Jr., who faced Tyson in an exhibition match in 2020, emphasized that age wouldn’t hinder Tyson’s performance.

“We [are] warriors. We don’t care about getting punched-[we] don’t care what age we are. This [is] what we do,”Jones Jr. declared.

Jake wants rule changes for the Tyson fight

Given the significant disparities in age and weight between the two fighters, speculations about altered rules for the bout have been rampant. Some reports suggest using head guards and heavier boxing gloves, ostensibly to mitigate the punches.

While initially labelled as an exhibition match, Jake and Mike pushed the fight to be professional.

Despite Tyson acknowledging the bout as an exhibition, Jake contradicts the heavyweight legend. “Mike and I want this to be a pro fight, full face shots,” Paul told FOX News.

“We’re submitting that request to the commission. It’s an all-out war.”

Dispelling rumours of restrictions on landing punches, Paul dismissed speculations surrounding the use of oversized gloves and expressed his determination for an unbridled confrontation. “There’s been all these fake videos about not being able to hit each other, and we’ll be wearing big gloves but it’s all fake news,” he clarified.

Paul, who boasts a record of nine wins in ten professional fights, anticipates an iron-hard challenge from Tyson, notwithstanding the latter’s age. “I think he’s underestimating me, I truly, truly think that, ” and added, “It’s a heavyweight fight, he’s the bigger man but I’m the faster man. He’s the much stronger man but I’m fresh. He’s experienced. I’m smart but in the ring he may be smarter. It’s are really interesting match-up and people see the training videos and think he’s a beat.”

Despite recent footage of Mike Tyson looking back to his explosive best in training recently, Jake Paul believes he will be “too fast” in their fight.

Jake Paul has talked up his own credentials as he dismissed suggestions he should be wary of the threat posed by Mike Tyson heading into their glamour bout. With a 30-year age gap between the two competitors, the much-publicized bout has been a source of much debate – but it appears the pair are blocking out the critics.

Just ten fights into his professional career in the ring, the prospect of 27-year-old Paul facing off against a man three decades his senior has proven a divisive proposition. Having defined an era during his heyday, 57-year-old Tyson will be determined to prove that age is just a number when he dons his gloves at AT&T Stadium in July.

The man once known as the ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’ has rarely fought following his official retirement back in 2005, with his appearances limited to two exhibition bouts since then. Still, recent footage of the former world unified heavyweight champion putting in his preparations for his comeback fight in the gym in the past month appeared to show that the icon still has his famous explosive power.

In clips posted on Instagram by ‘Iron Mike’, he was shown packing a mean punch as he was put through his paces during a series of exercises on the pads. However, his upcoming adversary Paul remains confident that he is the favourite coming into this summer’s contest, predicting he will be “too fast” and insisting he is not scared by his training videos. He said on FOX News: “I think he’s underestimating me, I truly, truly think that.

“I was afraid of the Roy [Jones] fight. I was 100 pounds overweight, I was however old, 54, 53, and I said ‘Let’s do it'”, he continued, as he explained his thought process after accepting the Netflix-backed fight. “Anything I’m afraid of, I confront it. That’s my personality. Right now, I’m scared to death.
