Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul. Proč a kde se máte dívat na box železného důchodce s hubatým influencerem?

Kdykoli to někdo v uplynulých měsících řekl nahlas, znělo to jako vtip. Mike Tyson, světová boxerská legenda, která byla v ringu naposledy v roce 2005, bude v osmapadesáti letech znovu zápasit. Železný boxer v důchodu neodolal lákavé nabídce hubatého sedmadvacetiletého influencera Jakea Paula, který se pokořením legendy chce vydat na cestu profesionálního šampiona boxu. Serióznosti akce navíc moc nepřidalo, že byla v červnu odsunuta z původního termínu. Nyní je ale všechno jinak. Oba bojovníci zveřejnili svá tréninková videa, ve kterých dřou jako koně. Proběhly mediální tréninky i tiskové konference. Do Texasu míří na boxerský galavečer sto tisíc lidí a na Netflixu, který to bude pro své předplatitele streamovat živě, se jej chystá zhlédnout sto milionů diváků. Díky pozvání Netflixu jsem v texaském Arlingtonu osobně a na webu reflex.cz vám přinesu postřehy z této monstr akce.
