In the final news conference before his highly anticipated fight against YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, 58-year-old former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson opted for brevity in his responses. The event took place at a small concert venue near the home of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys, where the fight is scheduled to take place.
The issue of Tyson's health, which had caused a postponement of the bout from its original date in July, was not a topic of discussion during the press conference. Tyson had to be treated for a stomach ulcer after falling ill on a flight, resulting in a delay of the fight to Friday night. Despite losing 26 pounds during his recovery, Tyson has been medically cleared for the upcoming bout.
