ARLINGTON, Texas — Those wishing to snag a ticket to the highly-anticipated boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson can do so now!
Tickets for the boxing match, which will be a sanctioned professional fight, went on sale at 11 a.m. CST (noon EST) May 16 on Seatgeek.com. Over 120,000 fans signed up for presale access, officials said in a release.
Later on that same day, Paul and Tyson faced off at Texas Live! in Arlington for a pre-fight press conference. The two fighters will also have a press conference days earlier, on May 13, in New York.
When was Mike Tyson's last fight?
This depends on how you look at Tyson's boxing career. If you look exclusively at his professional boxing matches, Tyson hasn't fought a sanctioned fight since 2005, a corner retirement loss to Kevin McBride, back when Tyson was 38 years old.
However, Tyson fought an exhibition match in 2020, when he was 54 years old, against a 51-year-old Roy Jones Jr. The Tyson-Jones fight ended in a split draw. Ironically enough, this fight card also featured Paul, who fought NBA star Nate Robinson.
When was Jake Paul's last fight?
Paul's last boxing match was earlier this year, a first-round knockout against professional boxer and Golden Glove winner Ryan Bourland. The 27-year-old Cleveland native has amassed a 9-1 professional boxing record, fighting professional athletes, other celebrities, and more recently, professional fighters.
