Mike Tyson, 57, announces boxing return for Netflix fight against Jake Paul

Netflix will be airing the highly anticipated boxing match between Mike Tyson and the former YouTuber now professional-boxer, Jake Paul.

During his prime, Tyson was famously referred to as the 'Baddest Man on the Planet'. Paul, who is 27 years old, has expressed his desire to someday become a world champion in the professional circuit.

The bout is set to happen on July 20th at Texas' AT&T Stadium. This will be the second instance where Paul and Tyson will be present together in a boxing competition.

In 2020, Paul was in the co-main event of a pay-per-view night where Tyson made a comeback to the ring after not participating in a fight since 2006. Tyson took part in an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jnr.

On that evening, Paul participated in his second official boxing bout. He managed to defeat and knock out Nate Robinson, who was once a renowned player in NBA, during the second round.

Paul has accomplished nine wins, one loss, and six knockouts in his career so far. As for Tyson, he was able to achieve a remarkable 50 professional wins out of 58 fights, with 44 of them being knockouts.

At the young age of 20 years, 4 months and 22 days old, Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion and broke the record. This was just the beginning of his success as he went on to achieve a remarkable feat- he unified the WBA, WBC and IBF titles, a feat that had never been achieved before. For three consecutive years, from 1987 to 1990, Tyson was the undisputed champion.

Paul expressed his astonishment over the fact that his second professional match gained Internet fame due to his knockout of Nate Robinson during Mike Tyson's undercard. He further added that it is unbelievable that in just under four years, he is preparing himself to confront Tyson himself and test his mettle against one of boxing's legends and larger-than-life icons.

He stated that in only two and a half years since establishing MVP (Most Valuable Promotions), they are on the verge of organizing the greatest fight ever witnessed in history. This match will take place in the largest NFL stadium in America and will be broadcast live on the largest streaming platform globally. This accomplishment is proof of all the remarkable strides they've made in such a brief period.

"I have my eyes fixed on becoming a world champion, and this opportunity will allow me to demonstrate my abilities against the most superior heavyweight champion to date - the toughest individual walking the earth and the fiercest boxer in history."

Tyson expressed his excitement about his upcoming match with Jake Paul. He acknowledges that Paul has improved as a boxer over time. Tyson is curious to see how Paul, a relatively inexperienced boxer compared to himself, can perform against someone with his level of skill and experience. Tyson referred to himself as the greatest of all time (GOAT).

"It's a moment of completion that will be extremely exciting to witness. I provided the initial push for his entry into the boxing world in the preliminary card of my match against Roy Jones, and now I intend to bring his journey to an end."
