Mike Tyson is poised for an unexpected career shift as he prepares for his highly-anticipated matchup against Jake Paul.

Cage Wars is an emerging Pro/Am mixed martial arts promotion that is gaining significant traction in popularity.

The event is scheduled for Friday at Rivers Casino & Resort in Schenectady, New York, where Tyson will be collaborating with his son, Amir Tyson.

This New York venue is particularly special to Iron Mike, as it is where he made his professional boxing debut in 1985, scoring a first-round technical knockout against Hector Mercedes.

Having hosted his podcast « Hotboxin’ with Eben Britton » for several years, Tyson is no stranger to the commentary scene.

At age 58, he has also performed a one-man show in Las Vegas and on Broadway.

Interestingly, this new role as commentator and analyst is for an MMA event rather than a boxing match.

Tyson is preparing for what could be his final boxing bout as he faces Jake Paul on November 15 at the 80,000-capacity AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The 27-year-old YouTube star-turned-boxer, announced the unexpected showdown with the 58-year-old former undisputed heavyweight champion, initially slated for July 20.

However, Tyson’s medical issues caused a postponement, allowing Paul to instead knock out Mike Perry, advancing his record to 11-1.

Paul has expressed no worries regarding Tyson’s fitness and readiness for their fight.

Tyson stated, « I don’t have any concerns. He’s doing well. He’s super healthy behind the scenes and feeling great, so that’s our focus, and there isn’t a backup opponent right now. »

Tyson also expressed confidence in his ability to defeat Paul, saying, « Once I catch this guy, he’ll be running around the ring. As soon as I connect, it will be over. »

« I’m going to make him pay. »

Tyson is widely considered one of the greatest boxers in history, boasting a record of 50 wins, six losses, and two no-contests throughout his 58-fight professional career.
