Mike Tyson Accepted Jake Paul Fight (Image Credit: Getty Images)
Mike Tyson is going back to the fight. On July 20, Tyson and Jake Paul will square off in a boxing bout at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, which is home to the Dallas Cowboys.
To eventually contend for a world title, YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul (9-1, 6 KOs) had stated that he wanted to concentrate on taking on professional boxers. Rather than that, he will take on the long-retired Tyson (56-6, 44 KOs), one of the greatest boxers in history and a former heavyweight champion. He lost by TKO to Kevin McBride in June 2005, over 19 years ago in his last professional fight. At the time of the fight, Tyson will be 58 years old.
In December, Paul who is 5-0 with four knockouts in his professional fighting career defeated Tyron Woodley by stoppage in the sixth round, his second straight victory over the former UFC champion. In keeping with its growing sports division, Netflix will be the only place to watch live coverage of Tyson’s battle.
