Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson: Canadians to fight first

Ontario Boxers Set to Shine on Undercard of Mike Tyson and Jake Paul Fight

Two talented boxers from Ontario, Melinda Watpool and Lucas Bahdi, are gearing up to showcase their skills in undercard matchups before the highly anticipated showdown between boxing legends Mike Tyson and YouTube sensation Jake Paul.

While the Tyson-Paul bout has sparked debates about its authenticity and significance in the boxing world, for Watpool and Bahdi, this event presents a real opportunity to prove themselves and make a mark in the fighting community.

Lucas Bahdi, who earned his spot on the Most Valuable Promotions-organized event by upsetting their rising star Ashton Sylve, is determined to show that he is one of the best lightweights in the world. His unexpected victory in July propelled him onto the big stage, where he will face Italian boxer Armando Casamonica on Friday.

On the other hand, Melinda Watpool’s journey to the top has been a deliberate one. Turning down offers from Most Valuable Promotions multiple times, she has honed her skills against various opponents and is now set to battle Shadasia Green for the World Boxing Organization’s women’s super middleweight title.

Watpool, who discovered her passion for boxing at the age of 17, is excited for the opportunity to showcase her talent on such a grand stage. With thousands in attendance at AT&T Stadium and millions watching online via Netflix, she believes that including women’s matches in the program will highlight the technical prowess and strength of female boxers.

For Bahdi, who has a perfect record of 17-0 with 15 knockouts in his career, representing Canada on such a significant platform is a dream come true. Embracing the pressure of the moment, he is determined to make his mark and show the world what he is capable of.

As Friday’s event approaches, all eyes will be on these talented Ontario boxers as they aim to make a statement and leave a lasting impression on the boxing world.
