Mike Tyson and Jake Paul Set to Face Off in Professional Boxing Match on July 20

In a surprising turn of events, boxing legend Mike Tyson and YouTube sensation turned professional boxer Jake Paul are set to face off in a sanctioned professional bout on July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX. The news has sent shockwaves through the combat sports world, with many questioning the significant age gap between the two fighters.

Paul, who boasts a 6-1 professional record, will be looking to bounce back from his split decision loss to Tommy Fury last year. The 27-year-old has since scored impressive victories over Nate Diaz, Andre August, and Ryan Bourland. On the other hand, Tyson, at 57 years old, hasn’t competed in a professional bout since 2005 but has been actively training and sharing clips of his preparation for the upcoming fight.

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations has officially sanctioned the bout, which will see Tyson and Paul go head-to-head in 14-ounce gloves over eight two-minute rounds. This will also mark Netflix’s first foray into live sports broadcasting, adding to the excitement surrounding the event.

The co-main event will feature a highly anticipated rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano for Taylor’s undisputed super lightweight title. With the Tyson vs. Paul fight now confirmed as a professional bout, anticipation for the event is at an all-time high.
