BREAKING: Jake Paul Cancel Fight with Mike Tyson After Being Knocked Out in Sparring | HO

Jake Paul has officially canceled his highly anticipated fight against Mike Tyson after reportedly being knocked out during a sparring session. The decision comes as a shock to fans eagerly awaiting the clash between the YouTube star and the boxing legend. Paul’s withdrawal from the bout adds a new twist to the ongoing saga between the two fighters and leaves many questions unanswered about the reasons behind his abrupt cancellation.

Amidst the boxing community’s anticipation, Jake Paul’s abrupt cancellation of his highly awaited bout against Mike Tyson sent shockwaves through the industry. The unexpected turn of events followed the release of a disturbing video capturing a sparring session between Paul and Tyson, which left Paul hospitalized with a broken back. Speculation arose regarding the authenticity of the altercation, with some questioning whether it was a staged publicity stunt or a genuine display of Tyson’s power.

In a social media post, Paul addressed the incident directly, asserting that it was an unprovoked attack rather than a routine sparring session. He expressed his disappointment and inability to proceed with the fight, citing concerns for his safety. The announcement left fans disappointed and critics mocking Paul’s boxing credentials.

Paul’s decision to call off the fight ignited debates about the ethics of exhibition matches, particularly those involving older fighters. Some applauded his prioritization of health and safety, while others questioned his motives and commitment to the sport. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the future of the Paul-Tyson matchup, Paul left open the possibility of a rematch contingent upon stricter safety measures.

However, the aftermath of the sparring video took a legal turn as Paul initiated a $200 million lawsuit against Tyson, alleging assault and premeditated malicious intent. The lawsuit, accompanied by video evidence and witness testimonies, added complexity to an already contentious situation.

In response, Tyson addressed the incident on social media, emphasizing the seriousness of boxing training and dismissing Paul’s disrespect. He warned against undermining the discipline and respect inherent in the sport, signaling his refusal to tolerate such behavior.

The exchange between Paul and Tyson sparked heated debates, with supporters and critics weighing in on both sides. Paul’s remarks stirred controversy, with some questioning his tactics and others sympathizing with his stance against aggression in the ring.

Ultimately, Paul’s transformation from a controversial YouTuber to a legal advocate against aggression in boxing captured headlines and dominated discussions within the boxing community. Whether he would prevail in court or be viewed as a savvy self-promoter remained uncertain, but one thing was clear: the saga of Jake Paul versus Mike Tyson continued to captivate the boxing world’s attention.

And heavyweight legend Iron Mike happened to be there the same day when the YouTuber-turned boxer was sparring.

But according to Hall of Famer Roach, the boxing icon had little interest in watching Paul and preferred to tour the gym walls.

Roach told FightHype: “Tyson looked at him and left.

“He saw 30 seconds of him sparring and said, ‘Freddie, can we go down and see the pictures?’

“He knows that’s where the good pictures are. He wasn’t as interested as I was.”

Tyson, 56, helped launch Paul’s boxing career with a spot on his undercard in 2020.

At the time, the social media sensation had won his professional boxing debut by beating online rival “AnEsonGib” in one round.

Tyson returned to the ring after 15 years out and drew with Roy Jones Jr, 53, in an exhibition bout.

But Paul, 25, stole the show as he brutally knocked out ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 38, in two rounds.

Since then, he has beaten former UFC pair Ben Askren, 38, and Tyron Woodley, 40, knocking the ex-UFC champion out in their rematch.

Paul returns on October 29 in Arizona against UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, who also has a 4-1 boxing record.

It is unclear when the American visited Roach’s gym but it is safe to say Manny Pacquiao’s mentor was not overly impressed.

He said: “The kid’s OK, a club fighter.

“I don’t know him personally and I’ve never really met him. He was in my gym and wondered if they could use the ring and I said go ahead.”
