Why is this fight controversial?
This fight is controversial for several reasons.
First and foremost is the age difference: Mike Tyson, at 58 years old, is 31 years older than Jake Paul, making this the largest age gap in professional boxing history.
It also marks Tyson's first professional boxing match in almost 20 years. (His last title fight resulted in a loss by technical knockout to Kevin McBride in 2005.)
The fight has caused consternation amongst some boxing fans, who feel the matchup is a potentially dangerous farce. These concerns were exacerbated when Tyson was forced to postpone the fight due to an ulcer flareup.

Mike Tyson's record comprises 50 wins, including 44 by knockout, and 6 losses.
