The fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul generated immense anticipation, but the outcome was not as expected for many boxing fans. Tyson, once considered one of the most fearsome boxers in history, could not overcome the young YouTuber. However, he has since received an unexpected offer from Saudi royalty.
Despite Tyson’s underwhelming performance, Saudi businessman HE Turki Alalshikh remains confident in the former champion’s abilities. Alalshikh has made a surprising offer for Tyson to face Jake Paul again, with the promise of a knockout victory.
This bold offer has sparked significant speculation and debate within the boxing community. While some view it as a strategy to revitalize the sport and attract fans, others are skeptical about the authenticity of the proposal.
What is Alalshikh’s Offer for Mike Tyson to Fight Jake Paul Again?
According to FTTV Boxing, “Turki Alalshikh offers Mike Tyson $700 million to fight Jake Paul and win by 3-minute KO in a rematch.” Alalshikh added, “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.”
