Jake Paul Is Going To Fight Mike Tyson In Huge Match Set For July In Dallas!
At 57-years-old, Mike Tyson is getting back in the ring… to face Jake Paul. The fight was just announced today (March 7) and came as a shock to many.
Paul, the YouTuber turned fighter, claims this will be the “biggest fight in history,” but obviously he’s forgetting about World War II. That was a pretty big one, at least that’s what we’ve heard.
The 27-year-old star reflected on just how far his boxing career has come…
It’s crazy to think that in my second pro fight, I went viral for knocking out Nate Robinson on Mike Tyson’s undercard. 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.
According to the report, the fight will air on Netflix. It’s not clear if you’ll have to pay extra to watch it, but that would be pretty annoying if so.
It’s set to take place on July 20 at AT&T Stadium, which is one of the largest stadiums in the world. It’s where the Dallas Cowboys disappoint their fans on Sundays.

Tyson’s last professional fight was in 2005 against Kevin McBride. He built an impressive 50-6 record in his professional career. Meanwhile, Paul is 9-1, but he’s mostly been going up against retired athletes, so you know, not as impressive as beating people in their prime.
Paul and Tyson are friends, so it’ll be interesting to see how “intense” this match is. We’re willing to bet it’ll be a huge disappointment, but we’ll see.
One thing’s for sure, Tyson and Paul will be cashing in BIG checks.
