Mike Tyson Will ‘Eat Raw Meat’ Before the Fight with Jake Paul?
Mike Tyson, 58 years old, is set to face Jake Paul, 27 years old, on November 15 at AT&T Stadium. The fight was previously postponed due to Tyson experiencing a medical issue on a plane, which required hospitalization.
Preparing for the Showdown
Known as the ‘most dangerous man on the planet,’ Tyson is back in training for his first legal fight in 20 years. He revealed that to prepare, he was eating raw meat, stating: “I have to eat it because my opponent will be raw meat.” This reflects Tyson’s determination to return to the ring.
In a recent interview with Netflix, the former heavyweight champion surprised fans by retracting his earlier claim about eating raw meat. He affirmed, “I will never eat raw meat.” When asked about his culinary preferences, Tyson mentioned, “My wife eats raw meat, but I do not. I enjoy Japanese dishes, like sushi.” This change offers a more intriguing glimpse into the dietary habits of the boxing legend.
Declining Interest Despite High Ticket Sales
The fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul seems to be losing attention from fans, even though ticket sales remain high. To attract more spectators, organizers have decided to reduce ticket prices. Let’s take a look at some key highlights of this event!
Discounted Tickets to Fill the Stands
Although current ticket sales are over 40% higher than Texas’s previous record for combat sports, organizers have cut ticket prices by half. This ensures that more boxing fans can attend the fight. Some tickets on Seat Geek are now as low as $37 (£28), while those on StubHub are priced at $52 (£40).
Highest Ticket Prices in Fighting History
However, tickets close to the ring remain expensive, around $10,000 (£7,749) per seat, offering fans a close-up experience of the event. Notably, ringside tickets from Box Office can reach up to $50,000 each, which includes premium hospitality services and various perks.
Jake Paul Confident in Defeating Tyson
Jake Paul appears confident as he promises to deliver a great performance. He emphasizes his strategic plan to fight from the outside and use his movement skills to keep Tyson at bay. Paul stated, “I will attack when he is in a disadvantageous position.”
Mike Tyson Responds with Confidence
With his usual bravado, Mike Tyson retorted that Paul cannot create an exciting fight simply by running away. Tyson asserted, “It won’t be long; as soon as I catch him, he’ll run like a thief.
