Mike Tyson might receive an offer worth $700 million to rematch Jake Paul and win in just three minutes. The reported deal comes from Turki Alalshikh, head of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority, who has been heavily involved in turning the country into a boxing hotspot.
This news follows Tyson's recent loss to Jake Paul at AT&T Stadium. The 58-year-old boxing legend lost via unanimous decision in a controversial fight, with critics accusing him of purposely holding back to secure his payout. Rumors now suggest Saudi officials want to host a more competitive rematch.
Social media posts from sources like FTTV claim Alalshikh is willing to pay Tyson the massive sum if he knocks Paul out in under three minutes. Alalshikh reportedly called Paul “a joke” and said he wants Tyson to take this fight seriously.

Despite the buzz, the rematch faces challenges. Jake Paul earned $40 million from his last fight with Tyson and may not see the need for a rematch, especially given the controversy around the first bout.
Additionally, Paul and Alalshikh reportedly have a rocky relationship. The Saudi official has criticized Paul for fighting influencers instead of professional boxers, saying it damages the sport’s reputation.
“I respect Jake Paul’s fanbase, including my kids who like him,” Alalshikh said. “But if he wants to be taken seriously as a boxer, he needs to fight real opponents, not turn it into a show.”
For now, there’s no confirmation that Tyson has accepted the offer, leaving fans wondering if this mega-fight will ever happen. Source
