Highly-rated American prospect Bruce Carrington has reportedly been added to the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson undercard.

The 13-0 featherweight will take on Australia’s Dana Coolwell in an eight-rounder on November 15 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, according to ESPN.

Carrington had an excellent amateur career, winning the 2017 New York City Golden Gloves and the 2020 US Olympic Trials.

However, he decided to turn over as a professional after the Tokyo Games were delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Carrington finished his amateur career with an impressive record of 255-31 and has hit the ground running in the paid ranks.

The Brooklyn boxer boasts an unblemished 13-0 record with 8 of those wins coming by way of knockout.

Up until his last outing against Sulaiman Segawa, Carrington had run right through his opposition.

But the Ugandan veteran proved to be a serious test for Carrington and pushed him all the way to a majority decision.

CompuBox stats show Segawa outworked Carrington, landing 108 of 416 total punches compared to the 91 landed out of 358 attempts from the 27-year-old.

Coolwell (13-2) is expected to pose a similar threat.

Both of his losses came against undefeated opponents and were via narrow split decisions.

Elsewhere on the bill, India’s No.1 ranked boxer Neeraj Goyat takes on Brazilian content creator Whindersson Nunes in the curtain-jerker.

Meanwhile, Mario Barrios defends his WBC welterweight title against Abel Ramos before Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano duke it out for all the marbles at super lightweight in the co-main event.

Adding Carrington into the mix means there are now three genuine boxing bouts on the crossover card that will appeal to hardcore fans even if the feature attraction has come under heavy criticism.

The main brunt of the backlash is directed at the staggering 31-year age gap between Paul and Tyson.

Tyson recently celebrated his 58th birthday while Paul is in his physical prime at 27.

Despite not competing in the paid ranks since retiring on his stool against Kevin McBride in 2005, the contest has been sanctioned as a professional contest under the auspices of the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.

That means that knockouts are allowed – unlike in Tyson’s exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr in 2020.

Several medical experts have come out and insisted that the bout could be ‘catastrophic’ for Tyson’s health.

World-renowned fitness expert and former Chelsea, Leeds United and England physio Dave Hancock recently told OLBG: “Looking from the outside, Mike Tyson’s comeback is purely money-driven.

“If someone’s gonna offer you, X to do Y, you can make a decision whether to do that or not at any age – so therefore your incentive is cash.

“Therefore you will be prepared to put your body on the line in those circumstances in that sport because you know the reward is the cash.

“But physically, as a medical person, I think it could be catastrophic. Especially at that age, because reflexes are reduced, his reaction time’s reduced, he’s not as fit as he used to be…

“There might be cardiothoracic issues, pulmonary issues, all sorts of issues that you’ve inherited as you’ve got older, lifestyle issues, you’re not living the same as what you were doing when you were training.

“But at the end of the day, money talks, going back to the same scenarios about footballers going on end-of-season trips and pre-season trips, it’s because there are huge amounts of money involved.

“It’s no different for an individual athlete that could get a payday for a one-off bout with a YouTuber.”
