Jake Paul is scheduled to fight Mike Tyson on November 1 in Arlington, Texas

Jake Paul is taking his ventures beyond the boxing ring and into the restaurant world with his latest partnership.

The YouTuber-turned-boxing sensation has teamed up with Dog Haus, an award-winning fast-casual restaurant chain, to become a 25-unit franchisee.

Jake Paul’s new knockout business plan

Paul’s expansion into the restaurant business will begin with four Texas locations, strategically timed ahead of his upcoming fight with boxing legend Mike Tyson on November 15 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

“This multifaceted partnership spans across the Dog Haus ecosystem, including marketing leadership, in-store experience, culinary innovation, franchise ownership, and the overall strategic vision of the brand,” Paul’s team announced in a statement.

The collaboration between Paul and Dog Haus goes far beyond a typical endorsement deal.

In addition to owning the franchise units, Paul will also take a seat on Dog Haus’ board of directors, working closely with the brand’s leadership to help shape its future growth.

His first stores will open across Texas, including in Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio, before expanding to other regions like Florida and Puerto Rico.

“I’m all in,” Paul said during a recent visit to a Dog Haus location in Arlington.

“I’ve been a fan of Dog Haus for years, and I’m fired up to push the limits and help take this amazing brand to a whole new level. I’m jumping in their corner and excited to introduce their food and experience to everyone across the country!”

Dog Haus CEO Michael Montagano shared the backstory of how the partnership formed, crediting Paul’s spontaneous visit to one of their Texas locations before his originally scheduled fight with Tyson.

Impressed by the experience, Paul reached out, sparking a conversation that would eventually lead to the partnership.

The timing of the collaboration couldn’t be better for Dog Haus.

The brand will play a prominent role in promoting Paul’s highly anticipated match against Tyson.

Dog Haus will be a branding partner for the fight, offering special promotions, in-store experiences, and even new menu items in the lead-up to the event.

In celebration of the fight, Dog Haus will host “Fight Night Haus Parties” at all of its locations nationwide on November 15, offering fans a chance to connect with the action.

Select locations will also provide the opportunity for fans to meet Paul in person.

Joaquin Buckley scored the biggest win of his MMA career in devastating fashion.

The welterweight contender extended his winning streak to five with a third-round knockout win over divisional great Stephen Thompson at UFC 307 on Saturday night.

Buckley forced Thompson onto his heels from the off as he supplied suffocating pressure.

In the third stanza, with ‘Wonderboy’ backing up, Buckley uncorked a vicious leaping right hook that left his adversary crumpled against the fence.

It was a shot even the great Mike Tyson would have been proud of – and the comparisons between the pair were rife on social media after the vicious stoppage.

One fan tweeted: “Wow Buckley kos Wonderboy with a leaping hook. Shades of Mike Tyson.”

Another wrote: “I’ve said since he fought Holland – Buckley reminds me of Mike Tyson with his boxing, love his weaving in and out.”

A third posted: “What a ko from Buckley holy s***.

“He’s like the Mike Tyson of MMA especially in this fight.

“Saw the ko maybe coming since buckley started to do better in the striking in rounds 2 and 3.”

Meanwhile, UFC welterweight champion, Belal Muhammad added: “Wow Mike Tyson Buckley.”

In the immediate aftermath of his stunning win, Buckley called out former 170lbs king Kamaru Usman.

Tyson left a fan frozen in fear when all he wanted was a memorable moment

Mike Tyson is regarded as one of the most formidable personalities in boxing. With his powerful physique and fierce reputation, Tyson has always been respected, making it clear that approaching him when he’s in a bad mood could spell trouble for anyone.

In a recent incident, a daring fan approached Tyson, hoping to capture a brief moment with the heavyweight champion. However, Tyson’s unexpected reaction left the fan frozen in shock during a live TikTok broadcast. Those who witnessed the moment were left on edge, fearing what could have unfolded next.

A close call between Tyson and a fan

Speculation started to fly regarding the true cause of Tyson’s bad mood. With the weight of responsibility on his shoulders, he is just moments away from stepping into the ring against Jake Paul at one of the most iconic venues in the United States, AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Tyson could either rise to legendary status by taking down the YouTuber or face a frustrating reality if he struggles to accept a victory from someone like Paul. The stakes couldn’t be higher.

What exactly triggered Tyson’s sudden mood change remains a mystery. Perhaps he caught a glimpse of the fan’s terrified expression and paused out of compassion. Or maybe he realized that his every move was being recorded live, and in today’s social media landscape, one could go viral for the wrong reasons in mere minutes. Either way, the tension in the air was palpable.

For a brief moment, it felt like the interaction could have gone sideways, but thankfully, it didn’t. Instead, it became a “legendary moment” for the fan to remember. If this TikTok user had been more insistent, one can’t help but wonder if he would have provoked Tyson’s infamous wrath. That’s a question many fans might be left pondering.

Former boxing star Butterbean has sensationally claimed that Mike Tyson’s fight with Jake Paul is ‘never’ going to happen.

And he also says the whole thing is simply a ‘scam’ PR stunt as a press conference involving the pair creeps closer.

Tyson and Paul will speak about their upcoming showdown on August 18, with their fight currently scheduled to take place on November 15.

Both men are adamant their battle will go ahead, despite already being delayed once

But Butterbean, real name Eric Esch, believes it won’t ever happen.

“Him and Tyson are never gonna fight,” he said during a Q&A.

“That has been a scam from the very beginning just to boost Jake’s name – and it has!

“This guy, everybody’s talking about him. But he’s never gonna fight Tyson.

They were never planning on fighting each other, because a promoter would never let him fight anyone else in between a fight.

“Never – not that big of a fight. So, it’s been a scam from the beginning.”

There is currently nothing to substantiate his claims.

Both Tyson and Paul are adamant they’re in a position to finally do battle, five months after their fight was first announced.

Mike Tyson’s latest training footage has supporters fearing the worst.

The former undisputed heavyweight champion returns to the ring against Jake Paul on November 15 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, live on Netflix.

They were initially scheduled to duke it out on July 20, however, the fight was pushed back four months after Tyson suffered an ulcer flare-up on a flight to Los Angeles in May.

His PR team insisted Tyson had made a full recovery, but further checks from the doctors deemed him medically unfit to compete this summer.

As a result, Mike Perry stepped in to replace Tyson on the original date and was subsequently knocked out in the sixth round, clearing the way for Paul to finally face ‘Iron Mike’.

Last month, Paul’s manager Nakisa Bidarian confirmed that Tyson had resumed his strength and conditioning work but hadn’t started boxing yet.

However, the boxing icon is now back punching again and has released a seven-second video of him smashing the pads on Instagram.

Reacting to the clip, fans expressed their concerns for Tyson as he gears up to box a man 31 years his junior.

One supporter wrote: “Jake knocking him out.”

Another commented: “It’s over for him. No chance Mike Tyson beats Jake Paul.”

A third posted: “Mike Tyson is going to sleep on the 15th of November.”

Meanwhile, somebody else added: “Mike Tyson on November 15th, Round 1, ‘Goodnight’.”

The Problem Child has a former world champion lying in wait in case Tyson pulls out

JAKE PAUL reportedly has a Plan B in place in case Mike Tyson is forced out of their showdown.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer was set to throw down with the former undisputed heavyweight champion in a controversial crossover clash later this month.

But their much-maligned Texas tussle ended up being postponed after Tyson suffered a medical emergency on board a flight from Miami to Los Angeles.

The pair, 27 and 58 respectively, are now slated to throw down on November 15 – provided Paul gets through his short-notice showdown with ex-UFC star Mike Perry.

But Paul is said to have already drawn up a contingency plan in case Iron Mike is forced to withdraw from the fight.

That’s according to World Boxing News, who claims he’s lined up former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr as a back-up opponent.

Chavez Jr was initially set to face former UFC welterweight title challenger Darren Till on the undercard of Paul vs Tyson.

But the Mexican will now fight Ultimate Fighter season 17 runner-up Uriah Hall.

Paul versus Tyson has controversially been sanctioned as a professional bout.

But the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation is understood to be keeping close tabs on Tyson’s health ahead of the rescheduled Dallas dust-up.

But the fight could fall through if Paul doesn’t come through his clash with Perry unscathed.

The YouTube sensation knows he’s taking a risk fighting ‘Platinum’, saying: “Now, as I prepare for my fight against Iron Mike, there’s no better opponent for me than Mike Perry.

Mike Tyson put on many a performance to remember over the course of his 20-year career.

With a persona as fearsome as his, ‘Iron’ Mike was often credited with beating men before they made their ring walk. If they put up a fight, more often than not Tyson would beat it out of them – at least in the early stages of his campaign.

As one of the most watchable fighters from any generation, Tyson’s opinion on ‘sensational’ fights and fighters carries plenty of weight.

To find the man he felt deserved the most praise takes looking back to 2013, when the former undisputed heavyweight champion spoke to ESPN’s Max Kellerman about Manny Pacquiao‘s recent win over Brandon Rios.

“No fighter, in the years I have witnessed, looked more sensational than Pacquiao looked the other night. Name a fighter that looked more sensational than Pacquiao the other night.”

“It was masterful; the side movements. He threw a lot of punches and Rios couldn’t get a punch off. He was like Willie Pep. It was brilliant. It was really brilliant.”

The fight, billed ‘The Clash in Cotai’, was for the vacant WBO Welterweight World title back in 2013. The US’s Rios entered the ring on the back of a loss – his career first – to Mike Alvarado.

Pacquiao was after licking wounds, too, returning to the ring following back-to-back losses against Tim Bradley and Juan Manuel Marquez and a call from his own trainer to retire should he lose a third time on the bounce.

He didn’t, his speed proving too much for Rios over twelve to win a unanimous decision with the scores of 120–108, 119–109, 118–110. Rios would say the Filipino fighting sensation was just ‘too quick,’

‘PacMan’ has fought ten times since, beating Bradley twice but notably losing to Floyd Mayweather and, most recently, Yordenis Ugas. Despite that last defeat being in 2021, he is currently in talks for a comeback to break a record he set himself.
