Over the next year Tyson beat up on lesser fighters and stirred controversy. King tried to schedule Tyson’s next fight on the same night and in the same city (Las Vegas) as a pay-per-view fight between Riddick Bowe and Evander Holyfield, causing an uproar among boxing circles. The fight was rescheduled when Tyson broke his thumb, and Tyson knocked out Buster Mathis in the third round of their eventual fight on December 16th in Philadelphia.
Deontay Wilder is a +150 underdog, while Zhang is -150 to win. The over under on rounds is set at 6.5. The oddsmakers clearly favor a knockout between these two heavy handed contenders, with Zhang given the slight edge to do so.
The colossal event will take place at the 80,000-seater home of the Dallas Cowboys and will be streamed live on Netflix. The streaming giant teased fans with a preview video showing Paul arriving via helicopter and squaring up to Tyson.
