is finally set to take to the ring against who is regarded as the greatest boxer of all time in a much-awaited bout at the AT&T Stadium in Texas, November 15.

The fight is already surrounded with controversy considering that Tyson is 31- years older than social media star Paul. The blockbuster bout was originally scheduled for July, but Tyson, who is a former two-time heavyweight world champion, had to pull out due to an ulcer problem.

The 58-yer-old returns to the ring almost 20 years after he retired in 2005.

It is said behind every successful man, there is a woman central to the achievement but who are the women behind this jaw-dropping bout? Pulse Sports takes a look at women who have played a crucial role in making the bout in the United States possible.

— She is Paul’s fiancee and come fight night, she will enter the arena hand-in-hand with Paul. Paul’s girlfriend follows his extravagant lifestyle in the public eye and attracts publicity. Leerdam, is a highly successful athlete who has won World Championship titles and even an silver medal in speed skating at the Winter Games in 2022.

Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, 57, encountered a medical emergency during a flight to Los Angeles just two months before his fight with 27-year-old Jake Paul.

Born in the Netherlands, Leerdam’s achievements in the rink have opened many doors for her. She has followed in the footsteps of her boyfriend in becoming somewhat of a social media sensation. The Dutch regularly posts snaps of her either competing, living her extroverted life with Paul, or showing off her glamorous getaways.

Paul struck up relationship rumours with spectacular skater Leerdam in March 2023 when the pair were caught packing on the PDA during a romantic date night in Miami, Florida. It didn’t take long for the Dutch star to confirm that they were an item. The pair have now been together for a year-and-a-half.

— The 47-year-old is an entrepreneur, author, and business owner, who does not have social media and is rarely seen with her husband Tyson. She is Tyson’s third wife and their relationship got off to a rocky start.

Former heavyweight champ Mike Tyson is set to fight YouTuber Jake Paul in a much-anticipated bout at AT&T Stadium, Texas.

Spicer had trouble with the law when they met and served a six-month prison sentence in 2008 after being embroiled in a fraud and conspiracy case. Spicer, also known as ‘Kiki’ is rarely seen in public unless with her husband as she likes to keep a low profile, but she is expected to be there in Texas to cheer ‘the baddest man on the planet’.

Tyson and Spicer have been together much longer. The couple met in 1998 while ‘Iron Mike’ was 28 and his current wife was only 18. At the time, he was married to his second wife Monica Spencer. Spicer was sent to prison aged 31 but following her release, the pair wedded in 2009 and have two children.
