Why was boxer Mike Tyson at Cowboys-Saints game on Sunday?

Tyson attended Sunday’s game between the Cowboys and the New Orleans Saints at AT&T Stadium.

Was it is a publicity stunt?

Possibly.

Well, definitely.

Wearing a Micah Parsons No. 11 Cowboys jersey, Tyson was on the field prior to the game with boxer Jake Paul.

Tyson is scheduled to fight Paul as part of a fight card at AT&T Stadium on Nov. 15.

The card will also include a rematch in women’s boxing history, Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano.

The Tyson-Paul fight was rescheduled from earlier this year after Tyson was injured in training.

“Although we had to postpone the fight, I will resume training shortly. I am thankful to the medical staff that treated me and to MVP, Netflix, and AT&T Stadium for working diligently to find the best reschedule date for all parties,” Tyson said in a press release issued after the original fight was postponed. “While we have a new date, the result will be the same no matter when we fight. Jake Paul is getting knocked out. On Friday, November 15, watch this in-person at AT&T Stadium or live on Netflix.”
