Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul July 20th on Netflix

Former YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul is gearing up to take on heavyweight icon Mike Tyson in an exhibition boxing bout scheduled for July 20. This high-profile event will be exclusively aired on Netflix and hosted at the massive 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, which is famously the home ground of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys.

At 27 years old, Paul has successfully transitioned from the realm of YouTube to the professional boxing arena, securing victories in nine out of his ten fights. His sole defeat came against Tommy Fury, the younger half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, back in February 2023. Tyson, a revered figure in the boxing world and a member of the Hall of Fame, famously emerged from retirement to face Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition match in 2020, which ended in a contentious split draw. Notably, Paul clinched a victory over former NBA player Nate Robinson in the undercard of that event.

The upcoming showdown in July is poised to rake in substantial financial gains for both competitors. Moreover, Tyson’s participation promises fans the electrifying opportunity to witness one of history’s most formidable fighters back in the ring.
