Mike Tyson recently fought Jake Paul in Dallas, reportedly earning up to $60 million. Unlike other aging boxers, Tyson's reputation remains intact despite the fight, which was more about money than legacy. Previous fighters like Evander Holyfield and Roy Jones Jr. have faced criticism for continuing to fight past their prime. Holyfield's last match was particularly concerning, as he struggled against a younger opponent. Jones Jr. remains active and may consider a fight with Paul, despite his declining performance. Meanwhile, Danny Williams, who once defeated Tyson, continues to fight at 51, highlighting the risks some boxers take in prolonging their careers.
