According to media estimates, Jake Paul will receive $40 million in prize money, while "Iron Mike" will receive over $20 million for stepping into the ring in this showdown.

Mike Tyson is one of the greatest heavyweight boxers in the history of world boxing. Tyson's record is 50 wins and 6 losses, including 44 wins by knockout. The American boxer won his first 19 professional fights by knockout, 12 of which were in the first round.

"Iron Mike" also holds the record for being the youngest boxer ever to win the world heavyweight championship at just 20 years, 4 months, and 22 days old, famous for his knockout victory over Trevor Berbick to win the World Boxing Council (WBC) heavyweight title on November 22, 1986.
