Nikki Sixx and Gene Simmons Weigh in on Tyson vs. Paul Fight

Posted on by

One of the most highly anticipated boxing matches in recent memory will take place tonight, as Jake Paul takes on Mike Tyson live on Netflix.

There are many layers to the hype surrounding the bout. Tyson, as most people know, is one of the most decorated – and feared – fighters in boxing history. However, he’s also 58 years old and hasn’t had a professional match since 2005.

Meanwhile, his opponent is 27 years old, and has had an unlikely rise to boxing fame. For years, Paul was best-known for viral videos and acting in a Disney Chanel TV show, however he switched to boxing in 2018 and has since become one of the sport’s biggest attractions. Paul has come under criticism for the opponents he’s faced. Many — like former basketball player Nate Robinson and former MMA fighters Ben Anderson Silva and Nate Diaz – were not boxers by trade.

Fans around the globe are excited for the Tyson vs. Paul fight, including some of rock’s biggest stars. Surprisingly, they are overwhelmingly backing the 58-year-old former champ.

Gene Simmons and Nikki Sixx Among Mike Tyson’s Supporters

On X (formerly Twitter), Gene Simmons lent his support to Tyson. “My sincere best wishes tomorrow night to the one and only Champ, Mike Tyson,” the Kiss bassist wrote, his words accompanied by a photo of the rocker alongside the boxer.

Similarly, Motley Crue’s Nikki Sixx predicted the former heavyweight champ would reign supreme.

“Mike Tyson is looking stronger and faster than I’ve ever seen him,” Sixx declared on social media. When a fan responded by pointing to Tyson’s advanced age, Sixx replied: “I see you know a lot of boxing and Mike’s style versus an amateur. There will be blood.”

PAUL STANLEY Open To Possibility Of Future One-Off KISS Concert: ‘KISS Is So Far From Over’

Posted on by

In a recent interview with Michael Christopher of Daily Times, KISS frontman Paul Stanley expressed that he’s open to the idea of performing a one-off KISS show, whether it’s part of a Kiss Kruise or a reunion with his former bandmates for a few songs.

“Anything’s possible,” he said. “KISS is so far from over, though KISS as we know it is done. But having our hands and our ideas and our fingers in what KISS continues as makes all the sense in the world. So, I look forward to whatever comes next without knowing what comes next. But I’m open to it all.”

Stanley previously discussed the possibility of KISS performing a one-off show during a January 2023 interview with Yahoo! Entertainment music editor Lyndsey Parker. When asked whether the final concert of KISS‘s “End of the Road” tour would truly be the band’s last performance or if there might be opportunities for one-off shows or a Las Vegas residency in the future, Stanley responded: “I really can’t say. But it is the last of any kind of regular shows or touring.

“It’s just time. And in the same way, it’s time consuming. And physically, it’s grueling to do what we do. Hell, if I could go out on stage in my jeans and a t-shirt, give us another 10, 15 years easily. But what we do is a whole different sport. I mean, we’re athletes; we’re running around on stage with 30, 40, pounds of gear, and it’s not possible to do it that much longer. So we’re not like other bands.
