His wife, deeply concerned for his well-being, was adamant that he shouldn’t go through with the upcoming fight against Jake Paul. “You don’t have to do this, Mike,” she insisted, her voice trembling with worry. But Tyson, as resolute as ever, responded, “No, I do have to do this.”Their exchange was revealed by Mike Tyson to Esquire Magazine in a emotional interview.

“My wife keeps saying, ‘You don’t have to do this. You don’t have to do this.’ And I’m like, ‘No, I do have to do this,’ ” he tells me, stressing that the millions he’s reportedly making from the fight “will not change my life financially in any way.”

Mike Tyson was scheduled to take on Jake Paul in July, a fight that had fans buzzing with anticipation. However, the bout was postponed due to Tyson suffering an inflamed ulcer during a flight from Miami to Los Angeles. This health scare forced him to halt his training and left his wife more convinced than ever that he should reconsider the fight.

Despite her pleas and the critics’ ongoing concerns, Tyson remains steadfast in his decision to step back into the ring. The fight has been rescheduled for November 15, and while Paul claims his rival has returned to the gym, the question remains: at what cost to his personal life?

Tyson and Paul were scheduled to fight in front of more than 80,000 fans in Texas this weekend but the heavyweight boxing legend was forced to postpone the fight due to health issues. He suffered an inflamed ulcer on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles in May and was forced to stop training.

Paul claims his rival has now returned to the gym after the fight was rescheduled for November 15 but critics of the bout, which will be 58-year-old Tyson’s first professional outing since 2005, have continued to slate the event. And even Tyson’s wife has her doubts.
