Jake Paul’s Manager Opens Up About Why The Stakes Are So High For The YouTuber’s Fight With Mike Tyson

As a seasoned boxing enthusiast with decades of ringside experience under my belt, I can’t help but be thrilled about the upcoming showdown between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. The anticipation is palpable, and it’s not just because I’ve seen more fights than most people have had hot dinners.


In roughly a month, Jake Paul and Mike Tyson are getting ready for the highly anticipated boxing match generating buzz in this year’s combat sports events on TV schedules. It’s safe to say that many will be tuning in with their Netflix subscriptions, eager to see if years of experience can triumph over age, as a legendary boxer faces off against a younger opponent. There has been much discussion about the consequences for Paul if he gets knocked out, but his manager recently emphasized how critical this topic truly is.

Once more, without a contingency plan set, it appears that both combatants are in good health and ready for their encounter at AT&T Stadium on November 15th. Jake Paul’s representative, Nakisa Bidarian, discussed with THR the potential advantages Mike Tyson might gain, as well as the risks that Jake Paul may face.

This presents a chance for Mike Tyson to restore his reputation. Many recall his fight with Jones, where he failed to rise from the stool. Now, if Tyson, at 58, manages to knock out Jake Paul, he will be celebrated forever. He would have ended the YouTube influencer’s dominance.

There’s been a lot of discussion on what Jake Paul could potentially gain from fighting Mike Tyson. As another YouTuber and occasional boxer KSI points out, it’s a tricky situation for Paul. Either he will be known for defeating much older opponents like Tyson, or he will be remembered as the one who couldn’t defeat an aging legend.

A loss would certainly derail Jake Paul’s plan to petition for a title shot opportunity in professional boxing, but it feels a tad dramatic for Nikasa Bidarian to say a loss would “end” the fighter’s reign. Paul already lost to Tommy Fury, the brother of boxing champion Tyson Fury, back in 2023.

The fight served as evidence to certain commentators that although Paul has demonstrated exceptional strength by knocking out ex-UFC champions and aging boxers, battling someone of similar age and weight remains a test for him. As Bidarian suggests, overcoming Mike Tyson could pave the way for him: a significant achievement in his career.

Should Jake manage to defeat Mike Tyson, it’s likely that many would feel upset. However, such a victory would undoubtedly open up numerous possibilities for him within the realm of boxing.

I would similarly contend that he faces a significant test against Mike Tyson, who appears to be the most formidable 58-year-old globally. Tyson has requested shorter rounds due to stamina concerns, allowing him to land more blows. Known as one of boxing’s hardest hitters in history, it remains to be seen just how powerful his punches will be after recovering from his recent health issue.

After this notable fight, my main curiosity lies in knowing what’s next for Netflix, especially if this event turns out to be as significant as anticipated. Could we possibly witness more fights featuring Jake Paul or other high-profile figures on their platform? Given that they are acquiring Monday Night Raw from WWE in 2025 and some NFL games, it appears there is a strong emphasis on securing live content. I’m eager to learn about any major fights that might be lined up for the future.

Don’t miss out on Netflix this coming Friday, November 15th, as we witness the final showdown between Paul and Tyson. I can’t decide who might emerge victorious between these two formidable fighters, so I’m definitely scheduling my day to find out who will ultimately triumph.
