Mike Tyson and Jake Paul will return to New York City on August 18, 2024. Moderated by ESPN and The Pivot‘s Ryan Clark, the two heavy-handed heavyweights will face off at an exclusive press conference during the inaugural Fanatics Fest at the Javits Center.
“When we launched Fanatics Fest earlier this year, our vision was to create a platform where sports legends and cultural icons could connect with fans in unprecedented ways,” Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin said.
“Hosting the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson press conference at Fanatics Fest NYC is a testament to that vision. This event embodies the energy, excitement, and passion that we aim to bring to every Fanatics Fest experience.”
Mike Tyson and Jake Paul are inching toward their highly-anticipated showdown on Friday, November 15 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Setting the stage as Netflix’s first major boxing event, Tyson-Paul will be supported by a monumental rematch featuring Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano along with a battle between Neeraj Goyat and Whindersson Nunes.
“After eating Mike Perry as an appetizer, I’m ready to go for the main course on Friday, November 15,” Paul said.
“To be fighting the biggest baddest boxer ever is a dream come true for me and it is going to be a nightmare for Mike Tyson. It’s cool to be featured at Fanatics Fest alongside some of the biggest names in sports and I look forward to delivering a show the fans won’t soon forget on Friday, November 15th.
