Mike Tyson BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Mike Tyson has been making waves this week both inside and outside the ring. Fresh off last November’s record-smashing fight against Jake Paul, which drew over 65 million concurrent viewers on Netflix and ended in a unanimous decision loss for Tyson at age 58, the former champ is right back in the headlines. That fight remains a hot topic: there was rampant industry chatter about pay disparities, but Nakisa Bidarian of Most Valuable Promotions recently set the record straight on the Jaxxon Podcast, confirming Tyson and Paul walked away with even purses—a gesture Bidarian said was about respecting Tyson and reinvigorating his cultural relevance for a new generation.
Now Tyson is back in the public eye for a multimillion-dollar bet. Earlier this week, Jake Paul posted a viral FaceTime clip in which the two boxers bantered and hammered out a $1 million wager on the women’s boxing trilogy between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, set to headline Madison Square Garden July 11. Tyson is openly backing Taylor, while Paul is sticking with his long-running promotional partner Serrano. The loser also owes the winner a dinner—“a date,” as Paul called it, laughing, signaling just how friendly this rivalry remains. The bet has fueled mainstream headlines and major buzz, with Times of India noting how the wager has supercharged the event’s anticipation.
Tyson is also active behind the scenes. In business news, Digital Journal just reported that he has become the brand ambassador for the online broker NAGA, marking his latest foray into the finance sector, and reinforcing his renewed stature as a celebrity investor. Meanwhile, Buddy Magazine highlighted Tyson’s net worth rebounding to an estimated $20 million to $30 million—a significant achievement given his well-documented past financial pitfalls.
On social media, Tyson’s presence continues to resonate. A widely shared July 8 Instagram post featured a motivational quote from him about perseverance, reflecting on his career’s ups and downs. That same day, the boxing world revisited one of his more somber moments: the 2005 fight against Kevin McBride, where Tyson famously quit on his stool, admitting he no longer had the stomach for the sport—a candid assessment making the rounds again in boxing circles and underscoring the dramatic arc of his legacy.
Tyson’s upcoming public appearance includes an autograph signing scheduled for July 26, as listed by Crave the Auto, ensuring fans will keep seeing the icon in person. No unconfirmed reports or rumors surfaced of new fights or controversies, and if anything, Tyson’s recent activities signal a seasoned star still finding fresh ways to command attention—whether in the ring, the boardroom, or the broader cultural conversation.
