Just three weeks on from their heavyweight clash in Texas, Mike Tyson has reportedly been offered a shopping $700 million for Jake Paul rematch. Saudi Arabia boxing chief, His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, had stated he will pay Tyson $700m if he can knock ‘The Problem Child’ out inside three minutes.
Mike Tyson Offered $700 Million For Jake Paul Rematch
Just weeks after their heavyweight clash at the AT&T Stadium in Texas, there is talk of a potential rematch between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul.
The fight didn’t exactly live up to the hype on October 15, but did set new viewership records on Netflix. Not to mention the co-main event between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, which is now officially the most watched female fight of all time.
Jake Paul defeated boxing legend ‘Iron Mike’ via unanimous decision, but the fight lacked excitement from start to finish. Boxing fans were hoping for a dramatic fight, but instead got a tame contest that felt more like sparring.
That being said, a key figure in boxing circles has revealed he is willing to pay Mike Tyson a staggering $700 million for a Jake Paul rematch. However, it isn’t as easy as that, there is a catch. For Tyson to bag the $700m, he must knock Paul out within three minutes of their bout.
If he does so, influential Saudi Arabian boxing chief His Excellency Turki Alalshikh has insisted that he will pay the heavyweight icon $700m. Quite the offer from Alalshikh to a 58-year-old man, who lost a wide decision to ‘The Problem Child’ just weeks ago.

‘Jake Paul Is A Joke’ – His Excellency Turki Alalshikh
His Excellency Turki Alalshikh has been heavily involved in world championship boxing for the past year or two now, putting on some of the biggest and best fights boxing fans have ever seen.
The Saudi Arabia boxing chief has stages events such as Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk, Anthony Joshua vs Francis Ngannou and Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol, both for undisputed status at heavyweight and light-heavyweight respectively.
He continues to put on monumental boxing shows, including the Usyk vs Fury rematch and the Beterbiev vs Bivol rematch too.
However, Alalshikh has also welcomed Jake Paul to take part in some of his Riyadh Season cards, if he wants to face real boxers. If he isn’t fighting real fighters, then Alalshikh simply doesn’t want to know.
One fight His Excellency does want is the Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul rematch. Not only that, but he has reportedly offered Mike Tyson a whopping $700 million if he can knock ‘The Problem Child’ out inside three minutes.
“Jake Paul is a joke. I am giving Mike Tyson $700 million if he agrees to fight Jake Paul this time in a real fight and wins by KO in a maximum of 3 minutes,” Alalshikh told FTTV Boxing.
What an incentive for ‘Iron Mike’. This high-stakes challenge could turn their next boxing match-up into a must-watch event. Time will tell if this has any legs or not, or if Jake Paul will head off in another direction.
