Mike Tyson Floats Jake Paul Rematch After Anthony Joshua Victory: “I Would Be Interested In That”

Following Jake Paul‘s first knockout loss in his professional boxing career, one legend wants another shot at the Vine alum.

Mike Tyson, who lost to Paul in a unanimous decision during their November 2024 sanctioned match, recently proposed a rematch after Anthony Joshua defeated the ‘Problem Child’ in Round 6 of Friday’s brawl, which streamed live on Netflix.

“I’m getting more and more confident, and I believe I’ll be better in the [Floyd Mayweather] fight coming up,” he told UK’s Mirror of the March 2026 match set for Africa. “But this fight right here, I think I’d be more adapted, because I had my other two experiences.”

During their Nov. 15, 2024 match, Paul landed 78 hits against Tyson’s 18 during the eight two-minute rounds. Paul threw 278 (28%) punches against Tyson’s 97 (18%).

A year later, Tyson is more confident in his ability to take on Paul in a rematch. “I realised how to train this time, more than other times… I think I trained a little bit too intensely [for Paul], and I left most of my fight in the gym.

“I’m just hoping, after this Floyd fight, maybe we can have a rematch,” added Tyson. “Yes, I would be interested in that.”

After their original match took Netflix’s No. 1 spot in 78 countries with 46.6M views in its first week, the streamer could have a knockout event on its hands in a potential rematch.
