Check out where Mike Tyson is spending his final moments before stepping into the ring with Jake Paul at the Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium.
[autotag]Mike Tyson[/autotag] is returning to the ring for his first professional boxing match since 2005 on Friday night when he meets [autotag]Jake Paul[/autotag] in the main event of streaming giant Netflix’s first foray into combat sports.
The event is taking place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of the Dallas Cowboys, which is one of the more extravagant stadiums in the NFL. That means Paul and Tyson have some comfortable digs in which to prepare themselves before throwing down in the ring.
Thanks to legendary cutman Jacob “Stitch” Duran, who is in Tyson’s corner tonight, here’s an inside look at “Iron Mike’s” dressing room (via Instagram):
Despite the fact that it’s felt like the so-called Drake Curse in the sports world has gotten broken over the years, he’s still taken some Ls when it’s come to massive bets.
We’ll see what the outcome is of this bet, but with so much money pouring in on Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, it’s no surprise the rapper threw in some money. To be specific, he bet $355,000 on … Mike Tyson to win!
The win would net him over a million bucks, so good luck to him.
As he walked in hours before the fight was set to begin on Friday night on Netflix, we saw his attire: a really cool jacket with “Iron Mike” on the back and an iconic photo of Tyson from back in the day.
It’s a good reminder that he was once the most feared boxer on the planet, and maybe that was the idea to remind Paul who he was.
You can see the jacket above and his entrance below:

If their arrivals are any indication, fans at AT&T Stadium are overwhelmingly rooting for Mike Tyson to beat Jake Paul.
In case you’re wondering who the fans are favoring in the boxing match between [autotag]Jake Paul[/autotag] and [autotag]Mike Tyson[/autotag], their arrivals to AT&T Stadium should leave no doubt.
Paul and Tyson will finally meet in the ring Friday on the Dallas Cowboys’ home field in Arlington, Texas. They both arrived roughly 90 minutes before their showdown live on Netflix.
Tyson arrived wearing the same custom leather jacket he wore to the ceremonial weigh-ins, where he slapped Paul during their faceoff. And when the jumbotron on AT&T Stadium showed Tyson walking in, the crowd went wild.
Take a look at the videos below:

It didn’t take long for technical issues to rear their head in Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul.
One of the most highly anticipated boxing matches in recent memory is set to go down on Friday night in Arlington, Texas.
Mike Tyson, the former world heavyweight champion, squares off against internet personality and budding professional boxer Jake Paul. Tyson, 58, is more than twice the age of Paul, 27.
Fans were obviously excited for the fight, but it didn’t take long for technical issues to arise. Instead of being shown over pay-per-view as is typical for fights like this, it is instead a Netflix exclusive stream.
As anyone familiar with streaming knows, high-traffic events can cause disruptions, and Tyson vs Paul was no different. Even during the first undercard fight, fans took to social media to complain that the stream continued to buffer.
Whoops the Netflix fight started buffering and now the stream has stopped. Never saw that happen with Netflix before! pic.twitter.com/oAOQWEz3CI
The event is sure to draw a massive viewership as it has already been postponed from July 20 after Tyson had an emergency ulcer flare-up on a plane. And it seems those fans who have been waiting months for the fight have had to deal with some buffering annoyance.
“The First Lady of Boxing” is on the call for the highly anticipated match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson.
Rosie Perez is best known for an accomplished acting career that includes multiple Emmy Award nominations as well as an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress nomination.
However, Perez is also a boxing superfan, and she’ll be on the Netflix call when internet personality-turned-pro boxer Jake Paul and former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson face off in Arlington, Texas, on Friday night.
Perez, a Brooklyn native, is a longtime fan of the sport and has been dubbed “the First Lady of Boxing.” She’s a mainstay at both title and lower-stakes fights around the state of New York, and she boxes and trains regularly despite not actively participating in fights, according to The Guardian.
Fans were enjoyinghearing Perez on the call during the undercard fights on Friday night, and she’ll be on the call as the 27-year-old Paul fights a former champion who is now more than twice his age at 58.
Here’s when to expect Jake Paul and Mike Tyson to make their ring walks for the Netflix event headliner in Texas.
The unlikeliest of boxing matchups is here as [autotag]Jake Paul[/autotag] and [autotag]Mike Tyson[/autotag] will throw down in the ring. This heavyweight bout is taking place Friday, November 15 at the Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Who could’ve seen this coming? Tyson, a 58-year-old legend of the squared circle, taking on a 27-year-old YouTuber-turned-prizefighter. And yet, it’s finally here.
Paul and Tyson originally were supposed to meet earlier this year, but an ulcer flare-up put Tyson on the shelf and postponed the fight. Still, the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation sanctioned Paul vs. Tyson as a fully professional bout scheduled for eight, 2-minute rounds, which is shorter than the norm, with the fighters wearing 14-ounce gloves, lighter than normal 10-ounce gloves used for fights at 147 pounds or higher.
Tyson hasn’t competed in an actual pro fight since June 11, 2005, when he lost by TKO to Kevin McBride after he failed to answer the bell in between the sixth and seventh rounds. Most recently, Tyson competed in an exhibition against fellow legend Roy Jones Jr. in November 2020, with the two men fighting to an eight-round draw.
The Paul vs. Tyson lineup consists of seven fights. The three-fight preliminary card (YouTube) begins at 5:30 p.m. ET, and the four-fight main card (Netflix) at 8 p.m. ET, which features a rematch between Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor in the co-main event.

Perhaps Mike Tyson forgot in the moment that he was talking to a kid?
You never know what type of answer you might get from [autotag]Mike Tyson[/autotag] if you ask him a question, and it doesn’t matter how old you are. A kid interviewer found out in an all-too-real way this week.
The child, who appears to be no older than 13, got some on-on-one time with Tyson on Wednesday either before or after the press conference to promote his Netflix boxing match with Jake Paul. What could’ve (and even should’ve) been a fun and light interview took an unexpected dark turn when she asked Tyson about his legacy. Things got a little too deep for a kid her age!
Here’s her question:“In your return to the ring for this fight, you are setting a monumental opportunity for kids my age to see the legend Mike Tyson in the ring for the first time. What type of legacy would you like to leave behind when it’s all said and done?”
Whoever got Tyson to agree to this interview, there’s no way they expected it to go like THAT. Talking about death and dropping F-bombs in an interview with a little girl? Yikes!
Perhaps Tyson forgot in the moment that he was talking to a kid.
If you’re here, you may be wondering: who are the voices you’re hearing on the broadcast on Friday night of the main event and the undercard, too? Fear not! We have some answers for you.
Mauro Ranallo will be on play-by-play. You’ll also hear from Roy Jones Jr. and actress Rosie Perez as ringside analysts. Andre Ward will be the lead booth analyst, Sean Wheelock will be the rules and scoring expert, and you’ll see Ariel Helwani and Sibley Scoles as the reporters.
NFL fans were surprised to see curtains installed at the Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium for the fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson.
It’s almost time for the highly anticipated boxing match between internet star-turned-pro fighter Jake Paul and former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. And when we got our first look at the venue — AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas — one detail grabbed NFL fans’ attention.
The home of the Dallas Cowboys has put up curtains to block out the sun from the outside ahead of the fight. Of course, this prompted questions as to why owner Jerry Jones hasn’t added such curtains during Cowboys games as the glare has caused problems in games for years, most recently costing the team a touchdown when the sun got in CeeDee Lamb’s eyes in a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
