Throughout his active years in boxing, Mike Tyson has earned huge paychecks while sparring inside the squared circle. Despite being 58 years old, Tyson is expected to earn a huge amount for his fight against Jake Paul. That is what his close friend and two-weight UFC champion Henry Cejudo has suggested, as he believes Iron Mike could make $20 Million from his upcoming boxing battle.
“I feel like there is probably a really good payday for Mike. He’s probably going to wind up making close to about $20 million and he’s about to turn 58 years old,” Henry Cejudo said as per Mirror.

Speaking of Jake Paul, the YouTuber-turned-boxer is expected to earn double the amount that Mike Tyson would receive. Paul, who has been defeated just once at the hands of Tommy Paul, had claimed that he would be making $40 Million while speaking at a press conference in August 2024.
“I’m here to make 40 million dollars and knock out a legend. I don’t give a f**k about anything else,” Jake Paul claimed.
The Jake Paul-Mike Tyson fight was supposed to happen on July 20, but the 58-year-old fighter sustained a major health issue after his ulcer flare-up and then he felt nauseated on a flight, which made him unable to train for the match-up. While there were talks of him being replaced, Tyson assured that he would be a part of the match. The Tyson-Paul fight is scheduled to happen on November 15, 2024, at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
