Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul UK start time - when to set your alarm clock for

Mike Tyson is set to return to the professional boxing ring for the first time in nearly two decades, facing off against YouTube sensation Jake Paul. Tyson's last professional fight saw him retire after five rounds against Kevin McBride in 2000.

He later participated in an exhibition match with fellow boxing legend Roy Jones Jr in 2020, which ended in a predictable draw after eight uneventful rounds. Paul, who knocked out NBA star Nate Robinson on the same card, has since embarked on his own boxing career, winning 10 of his 11 fights so far.

This week, he will step into the ring in front of up to 80,000 spectators at the AT&T Stadium for one of the most contentious bouts in boxing history. Here's everything you need to know... When is Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul and what is the UK start time?

The main card, consisting of four fights, will commence at 7pm local time, or 1am in the UK. Depending on the duration of the preceding three main card fights, the main event could start earlier or later than scheduled, reports the Mirror.

The full fight card includes Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson, Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano, Neeraj Goyat vs Whindersson Nunes, and Mario Barrios vs Abel Ramos. The Tyson-Paul bout, set to take place on Friday, is an exhibition match featuring eight two-minute rounds with 14oz gloves.

Meanwhile, Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano will reignite their rivalry two years after their thrilling first encounter at Madison Square Garden. In a peculiar pairing, professional fighter Neeraj Goyat will face social media star Whindersson Nunes.

The WBC welterweight title is up for grabs in the second world title fight on the card. Barrios has been promoted to 'full champion' due to uncertainty over whether Terence Crawford will stay at the weight to defend his belt.

Ramos, who has only won one of his last three fights, is set to be the underdog.

Shadasia Green, a teammate of Jake Paul's, is gearing up for her second world title fight this year. Despite falling short against Franchon Crews Dezurn, she bounced back with a victory over Natasha Spence - the same opponent Melinda Watpool defeated in her most recent bout.

Lucas Bahdi made headlines by stunningly knocking out Ashton Sylve in a comeback victory. Originally scheduled to face Corey Marksman on Friday night, an injury forced Marksman to withdraw and he was replaced by Armando Casamonica, who boasts an unbeaten record with 14 wins.

Featherweight Bruce Carrington is aiming to make a splash as he continues his journey towards success. Having stopped eight of his 13 opponents, he should prove too strong for Dana Coolwell, who has lost two of his 15 fights - both losses were against undefeated opponents.

Mike Tyson shared his philosophical view on age: "You don't know how old you are. Somebody told you how old you are. Julius Caesar had a big ego, he wanted an extra month so he said 'I'm going to create July'. So really, how old are you? These people are creating months and years to make people a certain particular age, you don't really know how old you are. I don't know how old I am. People design their own calendar, so we don't know how old we are. We know what people tell us how old we are. We know what people tell us what age we should be retired by this age. That's what they tell us! Our man's biggest downfall is to believe we have limitations and that's what we do, we believe we're a certain amount of age."

And Jake Paul discussed his training regimen: "It's been going amazing. Intense camp. I'm sparring 300lb guys back-to-back. So my body is aching, my bones are sore. They punch a lot harder and just wrestling with them in the ring and sparring is very difficult, but on November 15 I'm going to be prepared. We've trained hard to make the fight easy."
