As excitement builds around the upcoming Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul bout on November 15 at AT&T Stadium, fans and experts alike are beginning to speculate about what the future holds for both fighters once they leave the ring. With the fight still two months away, the spotlight is not just on the clash itself, but also on the future plans of these two high-profile figures in boxing.

For Mike Tyson, the former heavyweight champion and boxing legend, the upcoming fight will mark his first time stepping back into the ring in 19 years. At 58 years old, Tyson has already built a business empire that includes ventures in cannabis, podcasts, and various media projects. After the fight with Paul, Tyson is expected to return to managing his expanding enterprises. While the fight presents an exciting opportunity for Tyson to remind the world of his legacy, it’s clear that his focus will remain on his business empire once the dust settles.

Unlike Tyson, Jake Paul’s future seems to be shifting away from the world of boxing. According to Peter Murray, CEO of the Professional Fighters League (PFL), Paul is set to “turn his back” on boxing after facing Tyson, with plans to transition into MMA. Paul signed a multi-year contract with PFL in 2023, becoming the first fighter in the league’s PFL PPV Super Fights division. This shift could be a significant turning point in Paul’s career, as he prepares to make his MMA debut in 2025.

Murray revealed that Paul is already planning his next move: “We’re lining it up, Jake is finishing up boxing this year with this massive fight against Mike Tyson, then a lot of planning is going into Jake Paul’s debut in 2025.” Originally, Paul had been slated to debut in the PFL at the end of 2024, but the delay of the Tyson fight due to the boxing legend’s ulcer flare-up has pushed his PFL debut into next year.

For Jake Paul, the November 15 bout offers a chance to leave boxing on a high note. With a record of 10 wins in 11 official fights, including a recent victory over Mike Perry in July, Paul could exit the boxing world in a blaze of glory if he manages to defeat Tyson. The fight offers Paul the opportunity to cap off his boxing career with a major win before making the full transition to MMA.

On the other hand, Mike Tyson has his own motivations going into this fight. The former heavyweight champion is looking to make a triumphant return to the ring, and what better way to do so than by handing Paul a defeat? With Tyson’s long history and reputation in the sport, a victory over Paul could serve as the perfect way to conclude his comeback to boxing.

As the Tyson vs. Paul fight approaches, one question looms large: Will Jake Paul leave boxing with a victory over one of the sport’s greatest legends, or will Mike Tyson send him out with a humbling defeat? The stakes are high for both fighters, and fans are eager to see how this clash of generations plays out in November.

For now, all eyes are on November 15, where the future of both Mike Tyson and Jake Paul will be shaped in what is set to be one of the most talked-about bouts of 2024.
