This summer in Texas, there will be a fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, who was a former heavyweight champion.
On July 20, there will be a fight between Paul, who used to be popular on YouTube, and Tyson, who is 57 years old and is considered one of the most iconic fighters in the heavyweight boxing category.
The upcoming match will be aired on Netflix through their pay-per-view feature. Tyson has declared that he will defeat Paul, who is significantly younger than him. The event is set to take place at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, a massive venue that can hold up to 80,000 people and is the dwelling ground of the Dallas Cowboy's NFL team. Although Tyson is 58 years old, no one knows for sure if the fight will be a professional match or just an exhibition.
Tyson expressed his excitement about facing Jake Paul in the boxing ring. He acknowledged that Paul has made impressive progress as a boxer, making it even more thrilling to witness how the young athlete's eagerness and skills can merge with a legendary boxer's experience and abilities.
"It will be an exciting experience to witness the full circle moment as I introduced him to boxing by placing him in the undercard of my fight against Roy Jones, and now I have intentions to bring his boxing journey to an end."
Paul, a 27-year-old, posted on Twitter saying that promotion is unnecessary for the upcoming fight. According to him, the fight is the biggest of the 21st century and it will take place in the largest NFL stadium in the United States. Moreover, it will be streamed live on the biggest online streaming platform worldwide. Therefore, Paul believes that this is the MVP way.
If you're watching on Netflix or attending in-person, it doesn't matter if you support Paul or Tyson, or if this is your first time watching boxing or if you're a fan for life, you'll regret not experiencing this event. I am thrilled to share that this incredible fight will be accessible to all Netflix subscribers with Mike Tyson, a legendary boxer, on July 20th.
I am determined to become a global champion and this opportunity will allow me to showcase my skills against the top heavyweight champion in the world. This boxer is known as the strongest and most threatening fighter of all time. It's time for me to take him down and claim my title.
Paul had his most recent boxing match last Saturday, where he successfully defeated professional fighter Ryan Bourland in the first round. This victory improved his record to 9-1, with his only previous disappointment being a defeat against Tommy Fury, who is the half-sibling of the renowned boxer Tyson Fury. This loss occurred back in February of 2023.
After his retirement as a professional fighter in 2005, Tyson has only engaged in one match, which was an exhibition bout with Roy Jones Jr in 2020. The encounter resulted in a draw.
