Mike Tyson has recently received an astonishing proposal—an opportunity to face off against Jake Paul in a rematch, this time with an eye-popping $700 million at stake if he emerges victorious.
In their first encounter, held in November, Tyson experienced a surprising defeat at the hands of the social media sensation Jake Paul, who won by unanimous decision. That fight, while not a standout event, gained attention for trending on Netflix.
Despite showing promise in the early rounds, Tyson found himself unable to catch up to ‘The Problem Child,’ even admitting to serious health concerns prior to their bout.
A Lucrative Offer: Tyson’s Chance for $700 Million
A recent report from FTTV Boxing indicates that Turki Alalshikh, who leads Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority, has proposed a whopping $700 million to Tyson. However, this lucrative offer comes with the stipulation that Tyson must win by knockout within the first three minutes of the match.
“Jake Paul is a joke. I am offering Mike Tyson $700 million if he commits to a rematch and wins by KO in under 3 minutes,” Alalshikh reportedly stated, highlighting his confidence in the spectacle this rematch could create.
This isn’t the first time we’ve encountered such an eye-catching offer. On November 26, Jack Lombardi II, a former congressional candidate, echoed similar sentiments regarding Alalshikh’s proposal. “A staggering $700 million offer is on the table for Mike Tyson if he accepts a rematch with Jake Paul and achieves a knockout in three minutes,” Lombardi stated.

In light of their previous encounter, achieving a knockout within the proposed timeframe will likely pose a significant challenge for Tyson. Therefore, it would be prudent for ‘Iron Mike’ to consider a financial guarantee if he is to contemplate accepting the fight.
As it stands, the situation remains speculative. Until official confirmation arises from Tyson, Paul, or Alalshikh regarding this potential rematch, fans may want to take these reports with a hint of skepticism. Meanwhile, Jake Paul is eyeing a world title bout following a challenge issued by current heavyweight champion, ‘Dynamite’ Daniel Dubois.
