ONE of the biggest questions on the lips of boxing fans this week will be how much Jake Paul and Mike Tyson weigh for their blockbuster fight.
The pair are set to meet on November 15 at the home of the Dallas Cowboys, with the fight being live streamed on Netflix to tens of millions of people around the world.
Due to the 31-year age gap between the Problem Child and Iron Mike, there are a number of rules in place that differ from the usual boxing fare – as well as a huge pot of cash.
That includes softer gloves and shorter rounds.
The bout is also set to take place at heavyweight, which has many fans wondering how big Jake Paul will come in.
The former Disney star and YouTuber has never fought at heavyweight before, while Tyson spent the whole of his glittering and controversial career in the sport’s biggest division.
Both men have been training hard in recent months but it remains to be seen just how big they will be.

How much will Jake Paul and Mike Tyson weigh for their fight?
Mike Tyson fought at heavyweight for the entirety of his career and will have no problem getting to the right size.
He spent the later years of his career at around 233lbs but in his 2020 fight against Roy Jones Jr he weighed 220lbs.
In his pro career so far, Jake Paul has not yet fought at heavyweight and has been fighting at light-heavyweight and cruiserweight.
He weighed 185lbs for his fights with Tommy Fury and Nate Diaz but has been at just under 200lbs for his last three.
Paul bulked up to 230lbs during the summer when he was first scheduled to fight Tyson, but dropped back to 200lbs when he then fought Michael Perry instead.
It remains to be seen how heavy he will come into this fight.
