Mike Tyson set for boxing return, to face Jake Paul in Blockbuster bout at AT&T stadium
Legendary boxer Mike Tyson, 57, is set to step into the ring against the formidable 27-year-old Jake Paul on July 20th at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The highly anticipated event will be aired exclusively on Netflix.
In a statement, Jake Paul expressed his excitement about the upcoming match, reflecting on his journey from viral sensation to contender. “Crazy to think that in my second pro fight I went viral for knocking out Nate Robinson on Mike Tyson’s undercard,” Paul said. “Now, less than four years later, I’m stepping up to face Tyson myself to see if I have what it takes to beat one of boxing’s most notorious fighters and biggest icons.”
Paul also highlighted the significance of the event, emphasizing its monumental scale. “Within just two and a half years of founding MVP, we’re about to produce the biggest fight in history, a fight in the biggest NFL stadium in the US, broadcast live, on the biggest streaming platform in the world — a testament to all we’ve accomplished in such a short amount of time.”
With Tyson turning 58 by the time of the fight, anticipation is building for this clash between generations in what promises to be an unforgettable spectacle in the world of boxing.
