How much is Mike Tyson worth ahead of Jake Paul's boxing fight?

It has been 19 years since Tyson, who remains the youngest ever heavyweight world champion, last fought competitively when he retired from his stool against Kevin McBride in 2005.

The fight with Paul on November 15 has been approved as a professional fight, with neither man wearing a headguard and a chance of either being knocked out.

Whatever happens, it will be a lucrative evening for both of them, further cementing Tyson’s recovery from the financial problems that hung over him in the final years of his career.

What is Mike Tyson’s net worth?

Tyson is said to have earned £300 million from his boxing career, but it was a very different story when he left the sport.

He declared bankruptcy in 2003, reportedly racking up debts of around £20 million, causing him to turn to exhibitions and celebrity appearances to raise money.

However, Tyson now has a successful podcast and cannabis company Tyson 2.0, which is said to have achieved nine figures in turnover in recent years.
