Mike Tyson will return to the boxing ring to fight YouTuber Jake Paul in Texas on Friday night. This marks Tyson's first official bout in nearly 20 years, after a previous health scare delayed the fight originally scheduled for July. Tyson, 58, is a legendary heavyweight with 50 wins in 58 fights. Despite once earning over $300 million, he declared bankruptcy in 2003 due to extravagant spending. He has since rebuilt his net worth to around £10 million through ventures like a cannabis business. The fight will feature eight two-minute rounds and will be broadcast live on Netflix. Tyson is expected to earn about $20 million, while Paul claims he will take home $40 million. The event is generating significant interest among fans.
