In an exciting turn of events for boxing fans, legendary boxer Mike Tyson is making his comeback to professional boxing. The announcement was made at New York City's Fanatics Fest, which hosted a series of high-profile sports press conferences, talk shows, and meet-and-greets this past Sunday.

The first pre-fight press conference for the much-anticipated match between Tyson and Jake Paul took place at the event. Originally scheduled for July 20, the fight had to be rescheduled after Tyson experienced a health scare. Nevertheless, the hype surrounding the match has only intensified.

During an interview on IMPAULSIVE, Tyson expressed his belief that the world needs this fight right now. He pointed to the overwhelming interest and high demand for pay-per-view events as evidence of the fight's significance. Despite the unconventional pairing of a YouTube personality like Jake Paul with the boxing legend himself, Tyson emphasized the impact they have already made.

Tyson, at the age of 58, is eager to step back into the professional format, marking his first professional fight since his loss to Kevin McBride in June 2005. While he made a comeback in 2020 for an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr., his activity over the past 19 years has been limited. However, Tyson is confident that his primal boxing instincts remain intact and that his fight with Paul will showcase his enduring skills.

On the other hand, Jake Paul brings a strong reputation to the ring, riding a four-match winning streak in his young boxing career, with only a single loss in his eleven matches since 2020. Despite his recent rise in the sport, Tyson maintains a deep respect for Paul's abilities as a boxer and is keenly aware of the need to approach the fight with caution.

Tyson's determination to control his aggressive side is evident through his remarks about being "in handcuffs" when his tough persona emerges unnecessarily. He expressed his serious approach to the fight and emphasized the importance of not underestimating Jake Paul's potential as a formidable opponent.

With the fight set to take place on November 15, fans are eagerly anticipating the clash between these two renowned fighters. Tyson's return to professional boxing, combined with Paul's rising star in the sport, promises to be an electrifying event that is capturing the attention of both boxing enthusiasts and casual viewers alike.

As the countdown to the Tyson vs. Paul encounter begins, the boxing world eagerly awaits the opportunity to witness the timeless legend take on a new generation of fighters.
