YouTuber Jake Paul is set to step into the boxing ring with former world champion Mike Tyson on 20 July in what promises to be a highly anticipated match-up. The fight, which will take place in Texas, will be broadcast live on streaming platform Netflix.
While it is unclear if the bout will be an official fight or an exhibition match, both fighters are gearing up for what could be a historic showdown. Paul, 27, is coming off a victory over Ryan Bourland in his 10th professional fight, while Tyson, who last fought in an exhibition bout in 2020, will celebrate his 58th birthday just three weeks before facing Paul.
Tyson, known for his explosive start in the boxing world that saw him become the youngest heavyweight champion in history at the age of 20, will bring his wealth of experience to the ring. On the other hand, Paul, who has been making waves in the boxing world with his impressive record, is determined to prove himself against the legendary Tyson.
The fight will take place at Arlington’s AT&T Stadium, home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys, with a seating capacity of 80,000. With both fighters eager to come out on top, fans can expect a thrilling match-up between the two competitors. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting event.
