Mike Tyson hasn’t fought Jake Paul yet, and he might already have his next opponent lined up

On November 15, AT&T Stadium will host the headline bout between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. Despite being more than double Paul’s age, Tyson has been looking good in his preparation.

The fight was originally scheduled for July 20 of this year but was postponed because Mike Tyson suffered complications from an ulcer during a flight in May that took time to heal.

He hasn’t even faced Jake Paul in his exhibition fight, and there’s already a challenger knocking on the door who would like to face Mike Tyson in 2025.

Who could be Mike Tyson’s next opponent?

Former heavyweight boxer Eric Butterbean Esch has stated that he could knock out Mike Tyson if they faced each other. Although many recently remember him as overweight, he has lost over 200 pounds since 2022.

Now weighing 290 pounds, he feels ready to return to the ring. His intention is to seek a fight against Mike Tyson in 2025 or against Logan Paul, Jake’s brother.

For Butterbean Esch, Tyson’s weak point is his chin, and he is eager to be the next one to hit it. Both Mike and Eric are the same age, 58 years old, making it a great opportunity to see two legends revive their past in the ring.

“I saw Mike about three weeks ago, and he looked pregnant. I would knock him out. He has no chin. His chin would be right there for the taking.” – Butterbean about Mikes?Tyson chin.

But Butterbean didn’t hold back, saying that the rivals Mike Tyson has faced during his career have not posed a real challenge for him.

“The problem with those who have lost to Tyson is they didn’t challenge him,” – Esch added.

After failing to get a fight with Jake Paul, he is now targeting Mike Tyson

Before starting to talk about Mike Tyson and a possible fight, Eric Esch sought to challenge Jake Paul earlier this year. Butterbean thought that a series of videos and posts on social media would be enough to provoke the influencer.

He even put a price on the fight, telling the younger Paul that if they fought, the winner would take home $1.5 million. Now that Esch is in shape, he is desperately seeking a fight to get back in the public eye, which is why he is provoking Mike Tyson and Jake Paul.
