The hype for the match began in November 2023 when Netflix announced that it would stream Jake Paul’s upcoming boxing match. While no details were given at the time, it was soon revealed that the opponent Paul would be facing was none other than former undisputed Heavyweight World Champion Mike Tyson. This got fans both excited and puzzled about the match. While many argued the match was no good since Paul was in his prime while Tyson was not, others were excited to see the G. O. A. T box again. However, now The Rock has inserted himself into the wagon. Johnson took to social media and posted, “I’m Looking forward to your fight with the GOAT. As we briefly chatted, you wouldn’t want it any other way. I can’t wait to watch.”
