Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight time: UK start time and fight ring walks

by · Manchester Evening News

This weekend, former undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson will face off against Youtuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in a clash of worlds. It's been nearly two decades since Tyson participated in a professional boxing match.

Now, he's set to take on Paul, who has recently made waves in the influencer boxing world, winning 10 out of his 11 fights, with his only defeat coming at the hands of Tommy Fury last year. Despite entering the boxing scene through an influencer bout, Paul has carved out his own path, defeating several MMA stars such as Nate Diaz and Ben Askren.

Tyson's last professional fight was in 2005 when he retired after five rounds against Kevin McBride - though he did square off against Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition match in 2020, which ended predictably in a draw.

What time is the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight in the UK?

The main event is slated to start at 4am UK time on Saturday morning, or around 10pm in Dallas. Official ring walk times have not yet been confirmed but it will be shortly before then.

The six-fight undercard is scheduled to kick off at 1am. The final fight before Tyson vs Paul, a lightweight title bout between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, is expected to begin at 3am, reports the Daily Star.

What they have said

Meanwhile, Paul shared his rigorous preparation routine, saying: "I'm sparring 300lb guys back-to-back. So my body is aching, my bones are sore. They punch a lot harder and just wrestling with them in the ring and sparring is very difficult but on November 15 I'm going to be prepared."
