Saudi billionaire Turki Alalshikh has just announced a proposal that has set off a storm in the boxing world, offering record sums for a fight that has all the hallmarks of becoming one of the most talked about challenges in history. In an official statement, Alalshikh said he would be willing to pay Mike Tyson $700 million if he could knock out Jake Paul in 3 minutes in a future fight. The proposal was immediately picked up by international media, circulating on the web.

Mike Tyson’s proposal is unprecedented. If the former heavyweight champion were to knock out Jake Paul in less than 3 minutes, the Saudi billionaire would guarantee him an extraordinary compensation of 700 million dollars. Tyson, 57, has already shown in the past that he still has the power to be a threat to anyone in the ring, but the question on everyone’s mind is whether he will be able to compete with a younger opponent like Jake Paul, known for his strength and fighting spirit.

Not only Tyson, but also Jake Paul were at the centre of the offer. If he agrees to a rematch with Tyson, Alalshikh is ready to immediately offer him 200 million dollars. But the offer does not end there: if Jake Paul manages to knock out Tyson in 1 minute in the third round, as he has done before against other opponents, he will receive an additional bonus of 400 million dollars. A figure that, if reached, would make him one of the highest-paid athletes in history.

Reactions to Alalshikh’s proposal were immediate and mixed. On the one hand, Jake Paul fans see this as a great opportunity for their idol to once again prove his strength and earn hugely. On the other hand, many boxing experts question the fairness of the offer, especially given Tyson’s age and physical condition.

Many critics point out that Tyson, despite his legendary career, might not be able to hold his own against a youngster like Jake Paul, who has built a solid boxing career despite his previous opponents not being at the level of professional athletes.

If the deal goes through, the match could represent a historic moment in the world of sport, attracting millions of viewers around the world. The fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, with an impressive amount of money as an incentive, would undoubtedly be one of the most talked about events, not only in boxing, but also in the world of entertainment.

Alalshikh’s offer could therefore revolutionise the boxing landscape and give rise to a rivalry that will delight fans for a long time to come. All that remains is to wait and see if Tyson and Jake Paul will accept these astonishing numbers and begin what could become one of the most epic battles in boxing history.
