What is Mike Tyson's net worth in 2025? Financial status of the boxing legend (Image via Getty) Mike Tyson was once the highest-paid boxer in the world. He earned hundreds of millions during his career but lost most of it due to poor choices and spending. In 2025, many fans are curious about his money situation again. After living a life filled with highs and lows, Mike Tyson seems to have struck some balance. His life story is unpredictable, and now people want to know how much he is actually worth as of now. Let's find out. Mike Tyson's net worth in 2025 Current estimates suggest that Mike Tyson has approximately $10 million in net worth this year. Celebrity Net Worth and other money websites provide this information. This amount isn't particularly close to what he once had, but it is still a pretty good number, especially to have something years after going broke. Mike Tyson earned over $300 million from fighting and sponsorships in the 90s, and in 2003 he filed for bankruptcy. Bad spending habits and problems with money hurt him badly. Mike Tyson's house and where he lives now Mike Tyson now lives in Nevada, near Las Vegas, in a calm area called Henderson. His home is worth about $2.5 million, as per Mansion Global. It's not too flashy but has everything he needs—space, privacy, and even a spot for his pigeons, which he has loved since he was a boy. How Mike Tyson Makes Money Now Mike Tyson no longer fights like he used to. But he still makes money. He started a company called Tyson 2.0, which sells cannabis products. Tyson 2.0 has been very profitable. He has a podcast called Hotboxin' with Mike Tyson, where he talks with notable athletes and celebrity guests. In 2022, he had an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. Reports indicated that he earned roughly $10 million from the exhibition match, as reported by The Sun. What Mike Tyson says about money Last year, in a talk with Men's Health, Mike Tyson said, 'Money comes and goes. I had it, I lost it. Now I just want peace.' That shows how his thoughts have changed over time. Where Mike Tyson has been seen in 2025 He is still popular to see. He was seen swinging by a bigger boxing match, the Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia match in May 2025. The crowd went wild when they saw him. What comes next for Mike Tyson Mike Tyson might take part in a tiny fight later this year, but he is focused on helping those younger fighters and being healthy in his life cycle. Mike Tyson has had ups and downs but always makes it work. Also Read: WrestleMania 41: Is Boxing Legend Mike Tyson Planning To Make His WWE Return Soon?

Canelo vs Scull: Former world champions make their predictions for undisputed title fight
Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez will make his bid to become a two-time undisputed super middleweight champion on May 3 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia - taking on the IBF champion William Scull live on DAZN PPV . What have some of boxing's most respected voices been saying about this fight in the build-up? Roy Jones Jr Roy Jones Jr appeared on the Ring Champs podcast and made his predictions for the undisputed clash this weekend. The former four-weight world champion foresaw that Scull, if he stays true to his Cuban heritage, could pose a threat to Canelo. 'We don't expect this guy to beat Canelo,' Jones Jr explained. '[But] who were the only two people to give Canelo a really hard time – Floyd Mayweather [Jr] who was a supreme boxer and Erislandy Lara who is a Cuban extreme boxer. "[ Cubans ] are mindful boxers, usually have very good feet and both caused Canelo the most problems in his career. If this guy has any boxing IQ and he has any kind of feet - this could be a rough night for Canelo, but if he doesn't then Canelo should walk through him' George Groves The former WBA super middleweight champion and one half of the legendary Froch-Groves rivalry did not see Scull as any competition for Alvarez. He cast him aside as a stepping stone for Canelo to reach a super fight with Terence Crawford and believed there were no fighters at super middleweight who could lay a glove on the Mexican. 'You go against Canelo at your peril,' Groves told CasinoBeats. 'Because he's been so dominant at super middleweight over the years. I can't see Crawford putting a dent in him. Obviously, he's got to get past Scull first, but I don't think he'll struggle to win that fight. But at super middleweight, I haven't seen anyone of late who I think is going to give him a run for his money.' Teddy Atlas Teddy Atlas is a well-known boxing trainer, most recognised for his work assisting Hall of Fame trainer Cus D'Amato in developing a young Mike Tyson and guiding Michael Moorer to the world heavyweight championship in 1994. Since retiring as a trainer, he has been an active voice in the boxing world and has weighed in on Canelo-Scull, believing that Canelo will win in whichever way he sees fit. 'Unless Canelo is mentally off,' Atlas explained on his YouTube channel The Fight with Teddy Atlas. 'I think this is the kind of night where he can write his own story and his own ending to the story. It's up to Canelo completely. I see what can be a very handy, if not easy win for Canelo.' Juan Manuel Marquez As a compatriot to Canelo, it is unsurprising that Juan Manuel Marquez should show strong support for the unified super-middleweight champion. This is exactly what the former four-weight world champion did when asked about Scull's chances in the fight. Marquez dismissed Scull. 'William Scull is nobody," Marquez told ES NEWS. "He is nobody in the sport of boxing – He's the IBF champion but do you know William Scull? I don't know William Scull.'

Simranjeet set to be 1st woman pugilist from Punjab to turn pro
Simranjeet Kaur Bath, 29, is all set to become the first woman boxer from Punjab to turn professional. Simranjeet, who was born in Chakkar village in Jagraon, was a part of the Indian team at the Tokyo Olympics and has been signed by former American professional boxer Roy Jones Jr and Indian boxer Mandeep Jangra. The duo will help her complete the transition from amateur to professional circuit and train her for upcoming matches. Simranjeet represented India in the light welterweight category. She is the first woman boxer from Punjab to participate at the Olympics. 'I am happy that my career is starting with such a promoter, who has given many star boxers to the world. Mandeep is already making the country proud in the professional ring and I will also try to get recognition for the country. Roy Jones Jr is the best promoter and I will take my career forward with him,' Simranjeet, who is a two-time Asian Championships medallist, said. She will be the third Indian boxer after World Championship medallists Nishant Dev and Amit Panghal to turn pro this year. Roy Jones Jr praised Simranjeet and said she was India's top boxer. 'She has been doing well at the amateur level and I am confident that she will prove herself on the professional circuit as well,' he said. Mandeep too expressed thrill over Simranjeet's switch to the pro boxing arena. 'I am happy that we will help her in her professional journey,' he said. Over the years, Beijing 2008 bronze medallist Vijender Singh, Commonwealth Games silver medallists Sarita Devi and Neeraj Goyat along with Olympian Vikas Krishan, have turned pro.
