Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson: Official Professional Bout Impacting Pro Records

The upcoming boxing match between social media influencer-turned-fighter Jake Paul and former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson is set to make waves in the boxing world. Scheduled for July 20 at the Dallas Cowboys AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, the bout will be sanctioned as an official professional fight rather than an exhibition, impacting both fighters’ pro records.

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations will oversee the highly anticipated heavyweight match, which will be livestreamed on Netflix. The fight will consist of eight 2-minute rounds, with both fighters using 14-ounce gloves. Contrary to rumors, knockouts are permitted, and neither fighter will wear protective headgear.

Despite their significant age difference, Paul and Tyson have a shared history. Paul made his second career appearance on the Tyson-Jones undercard in 2020, where he defeated Nate Robinson by knockout. Now, he will face off against Tyson, one of the most feared boxers in history.

Tyson, at 57 years old, hasn’t fought professionally since 2005 but remains a formidable opponent. Known as the “Baddest Man on the Planet,” Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in history in 1986 and boasts a record of 50 wins and six losses, with 44 wins by knockout.

On the other hand, Paul, 27, transitioned from social media to boxing in 2018 and has won nine of his first 10 fights. Despite facing criticism for his opponents, Paul is determined to prove himself in the ring and has his sights set on becoming a world champion.

The clash between Paul and Tyson is anticipated to be a fight of a lifetime, with both fighters eager to showcase their skills and determination. Boxing fans around the world are eagerly awaiting this showdown between the social media sensation and the legendary former champion.
