A legend against a youtuber turned boxer.
It will become a reality on July 20.
– It will be the most watched event in modern boxing history, says promoter Nakisa Bidarian.
Back in 2020, Jake Paul was on the undercard when Mike Tyson had an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr.
Now the two will face each other in the ring.
The gala will take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and will be broadcast on Netflix.

“Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson is a once-in-a-lifetime dream matchup and I expect it to be the most watched event in modern boxing history,” Bidarian said in a statement.
30 years separates the two boxes. Jake Paul is 27 years old and Mike Tyson is 57.
Debuted in 2020
Tyson is considered one of the best heavyweight champions of all time and Paul made his professional debut in 2020. He lost to Tommy Fury last February, in his first fight against a “real” professional boxer.
Tyson has not been in a professional fight since 2005 and it is not yet decided if the match against Paul will be classified as a professional or exhibition match.
