Mike Tyson looked in a lot better condition as he stepped out last night for an appearance at Terence Crawford vs Israil Madrimov in Los Angeles.
The previous world heavyweight champion just turned 58 and is ready to return to the ring for his first skilled fight in almost 20 years against Jake Paul on November 15. The pair had initially set a date towards the tip of July, but needed to postpone when a medical emergency forced Tyson out of motion.
And after walking the red carpet and meeting with other major celebrities in California last night to look at Crawford narrowly edge out Madrimov, he can have quelled some concerns concerning the recent date. He is predicted to return to full boxing training shortly and start fight camp.
Radio host Big Boy believes Mike Tyson was ‘able to fight tonight’
Boxing legend Mike Tyson was in attendance on the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles on Saturday night to look at Terence Crawford’s smash-and-grab victory over Israil Madrimov. And he appeared in high-quality form as he posed for pictures and walked the red carpet, meeting with one other of other A-List names including Scottie Pippen and Vince Vaughn.
Tyson was sat ringside with promoter Eddie Hearn and the game’s recent supremo Turki Alalshikh. And speaking exclusively with Bloody Elbow, radio host Big Boy who had frolicked with the heavyweight icon noted that he was likely able to compete much sooner than November.
“I feel he’s all the time able to fight,” Big Boy, whose real name is Kurt Alexander, said of Tyson. “He was able to fight tonight! Hell yeah I might go watch Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson. That’s one among the Jake fights I might go to. I like Jake, he was so good with my family I might never say nothing bad about that brother.”
Mike Tyson stays coy regarding Jake Paul fight during Los Angeles appearance
While on the red carpet, Tyson was asked about his fight with Paul by reporters including one from Riyadh Season. Nevertheless, he kept his cards near his chest, simply replying “You’re going to should wait and see, you don’t got long to attend.”
Tyson has declared that the fight will mark “Jake’s wake”, and after watching the social media star knock out BKFC star Mike Perry in a substitute fight last month declared that the “clock is ticking.” Immediately after the fight, Tyson uploaded a video to social media showing himself watching Paul on a TV.
Despite not saying anything within the video, the clip went viral, and he followed it up with a message that read: “Countdown Begins – 118 days – 16 weeks and 6 days – 17 weekends – 2,832 hours – 169,920 minutes – 10,195,200 seconds. Clock Starts Now. #TysonPaul #TheClockIsTicking #JakesWake.”
Mike Tyson was pulled from Jake Paul fight over medical emergency
The initial July date for Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson was called off when the boxing legend suffered an ulcer flare-up during a flight that required him to receive urgent medical attention. He claimed to be feeling higher within the immediate aftermath, but doctors said in another way and the brand new date was made.
But progress has been solid since, speaking with USA Today last month, Tyson’s agent Andrew Ruf explained that he will probably be back training in the approaching days. “The whole lot is heading in the right direction,’’ he said in a positive update for the fight. “His doctor over at UCLA, they’ve been monitoring him really closely.
“They’re super comfortable with the progress. The whole lot is sort of full track to get back in there end of July and get working. I’ve been told that every part is totally heading in the right direction and he’s on pace to haven’t any limitations in any respect. His physicians, Dr. Issa particularly, don’t consider there’ll be any limitations in any respect.’’
