What Is Mike Tyson Fighting For?

In a few weeks, Tyson will turn fifty-eight. He's back in training for his first officially sanctioned boxing match in nearly twenty years—a much-hyped matchup with the influencer-turned-pugilist Jake Paul that is set to be held in a football stadium filled with fans and streamed live to a potentially massive audience online. But right now it's time to get to work. Behind a rack of dumbbells, there's a large black-and-white poster board with a photo of Tyson—hands wrapped, towel over his head—and a quote from the former heavyweight champ himself: "Discipline is doing what you hate to do, but doing it like you love it."

And that's why their new line of attack is to argue that if President Biden can't campaign, he shouldn't try to govern, either.
