Mike Tyson or Jake Paul – who has the bigger net worth?
The big fight everyone is talking about is fast looming. Mike Tyson and Jake Paul will meet face to face and battle it out at the 80,000-plus seater AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas – home of the Dallas Cowboys – for an epic night of boxing.
The bout will air live on Netflix as the streaming giant looks for a knockout entrance into sports broadcasting. Hall of Famer 'Iron Mike' last fought professionally in 2005 when he quit on the stool against Kevin McBride. But the 58-year-old has looked in dynamite shape since putting the gloves back. Logan Paul, 27, meanwhile is a famous YouTuber-turned-boxer who has regularly claimed he has what it takes to become a boxing world champion. Paul is 10-1 as a professional, with his sole defeat coming against Tommy Fury, who is the only pro boxer he has faced. He now has his sights set on the biggest win of his career by far.
The clash has been sanctioned as a professional fight, meaning this will go on the records of both men. But how do they shape up outside the ring and on their bank balances?
