The winner of the much-anticipated bout between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul has been decided by a 3D simulation.
Former heavyweight world champion Tyson will enter the ring to take on YouTuber turned-boxer Paul at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on November 15.
The pair were originally scheduled to battle in July but it was cancelled due to Tyson suffering a medical emergency on board a flight from Miami to Los Angeles.
Ahead of the bout, a 3D simulation of the fight from back in 2023 has re-emerged.
It predicts that Paul is knocked out just 38 seconds into the second round, with the 27-year-old unable to get back to his feet after taking a brutal flurry of blows from Tyson. You can watch the footage below.
Iron Mike’s former heavyweight rival Lennox Lewis is also backing him to get the job done against Paul.
“It’s hard to box when you’re that old, moving around the ring, throwing punches, getting punches thrown at you, but I think he can handle it,” Lewis told Sky Sports.
“I was thinking that Jake Paul was going to be in trouble, because Mike Tyson knows how to throw great body punches, great head shots. We just have to see if he’s going to do them in the ring – I’m hoping that he’ll do that.”
Speaking in a recent interview, Tyson said: “There’s nothing nice about me.
“I’m not a nice person. I’m a decent person, I try to do the right thing. But a nice person, I am not. Anybody with the [idea] that I’m a nice person is gonna be disappointed. I’m just not. I don’t make people happy for no reason, I’m just who I am.”

The American added: “I’m not trying to gain friends, that’s basically what I’m saying. I don’t want to make friends with you, I don’t care if you put me on your yacht, I don’t give a f***. I’m not gonna ever be nice to nobody; I’ll be kind, but never nice.
“When I was a champion, I had nothing of substance to do. Party, drink, women, talk s***. There was no substance back then.”
