Mike Tyson to Return to the Ring in Exhibition Fight Against Jake Paul: Preview, Odds, and How to Watch

The boxing world is abuzz with excitement as the countdown begins for Mike Tyson’s return to the ring after nearly two decades. The former heavyweight champion is set to face off against YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in an exhibition fight on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, with the event streaming live on Netflix.

Tyson, who has been making media appearances in the lead-up to the fight, recently admitted in an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity that he is “scared to death” about the upcoming bout. However, he also expressed confidence, stating, “And in reality, I’m invincible.”

On the other side of the ring, Jake Paul, with a current boxing record of 9-1, has his sights set on Mexican boxing star Canelo Alvarez. Despite Paul’s aspirations, Canelo has made it clear that he is not interested in a fight with the YouTuber.

In a recent interview with TMZ Sports, Canelo dismissed the Tyson-Paul fight as more of a show than a true boxing match. He emphasized that while Netflix may be good for boxing, this particular bout does not align with the sport’s true essence.

As the anticipation builds for the Tyson vs. Paul showdown, oddsmakers have already weighed in on the potential outcome. Jake Paul is currently favored at -360, while Mike Tyson stands at +300.

Fans eager to witness this historic event can tune in on July 20 to watch the action unfold at AT&T Stadium or stream it live on Netflix. With both fighters gearing up for what promises to be an unforgettable night, the boxing world is in for a treat.
