Boxing icon Mike Tyson will fight Jake Paul in an exhibition fight in July

Jake Paul, who rose to fame as a YouTuber and later pursued a career in boxing, is scheduled to square off against heavyweight icon Mike Tyson in an exhibition match on July 20.

The exclusive broadcast of the event will be on Netflix, taking place at the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, which serves as the home ground for the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys.

At 57 years old, "Iron Mike" Tyson's last professional bout dates back to June 2005, where he amassed an impressive career record of 50 wins and 6 losses, with 44 of those victories achieved through knockouts. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest boxers of all time.

On the other hand, Jake Paul, aged 27, made a transition from YouTube to professional boxing, clinching victory in nine out of his ten matches. His sole defeat occurred against Tommy Fury, the younger half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, in February 2023.
