‘I plan on finishing him off’: Boxing champion Mike Tyson comes out of retirement to fight Jake Paul

The youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history, 57-year-old Mike Tyson, will return to the ring on July 20 to face 27-year-old Jake Paul, who rose to prominence as a YouTube personality before taking on boxing.

Netflix with Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), announced On March 7, the fight might be broadcast live on Netflix. Tyson and Paul will fight on the Dallas Cowboys’ home stadium, AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The stadium can accommodate 80,000 spectators.

Tyson has a record of 50 wins and 6 losses. Paul, who calls himself ““Problem Child” is 9-1.

“I can’t wait to step into the ring with Jake Paul at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas,” Tyson said in an announcement. “He has developed significantly as a boxer through the years, so it should be fun to see what the need and ambition of the ‘baby’ can do with the experience and skill of the GOAT. This is a full-circle moment that might be incredibly exciting to watch; after I began his boxing adventure based on my fight with Roy Jones, and now I plan to end it.

Paul began making waves in his boxing profession in the course of the Tyson-Jones fight on November 28, 2020, when he knocked out former New York Knicks basketball player Nate Robinson.

“It’s crazy to think that in my second skilled fight I gained popularity for knocking out Nate Robinson on Mike Tyson’s undercard. Now, lower than 4 years later, I stand in front of Tyson and see if I even have what it takes to defeat one of boxing’s most famous fighters and biggest icons,” Paul said.

No undercard match has been announced yet.
