What are the odds in the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight? What Tyson’s last fight tells us
Roy Jones Jr. was Tyson’s last straw man fight, which took place at the Staples Centre on November 28, 2020. It looked like Tyson, who was 54 at the time, was going to fight Jones, 51, right away, and he did so for most of the eight rounds. Because of COVID-19 rules, no one was allowed to watch the fight.
When the fight was over, Jones stayed on his feet, and three former WBC winners called it a draw. USA TODAY Sports gave Tyson the win by a score of 78–74.
At first, Tyson looked a lot like his old self. He ran after Jones and threw hard blows. He hit Jones several times with strong blows. Jones looked hurt in the second round after taking another body shot.
After that, though, Jones often held Tyson in a clinch to lessen Tyson’s strength and help him make it to the end.

Mike Tyson’s return to boxing, use of toad venom
Before the fight, there was a lot of trouble leading up to that Saturday night. At the weigh-in on Friday, Tyson said that the psychedelic drug toad venom helped him get back into fighting at age 54.
A psychedelic drug called 5-MeO-DMT told Tyson, “I took the medicine and the medicine told me to get in shape.” He said this in an interview on the day of the official weigh-in. “It blew my mind.” It told me to get in shape and come back.
Jones weighed 210 pounds and Tyson weighed 220 pounds.
Tyson said that his training plan, which included walking on a machine for 15 minutes every day, helped him lose 100 pounds. He said that his first day of fighting was “terrible.”
“Even though I was getting hit hard during that boxing match, I never once asked myself, ‘What the eff am I doing here?'” “Woo, I belong here,” I said.
Tyson said after the fight that he had smoked pot before the fight with Jones.
He said, “That’s just who I am.” “Honestly, it doesn’t have any bad effects on me.” It’s who I am, what I do, and how I’ll die. There’s no reason given. “There is no beginning and no end.”
