Iron Mike’ Tyson is heading back into the ring
Former undisputed world Heavyweight boxing champion Iron Mike’ Tyson is heading back into the ring later this year at the age of 57.
Netflix today revealed that social media star-turned-boxer Jake Paul will fight Tyson on July 20 at the A T&T stadium.
The streaming platform will provide live coverage of the bout between the 27-year-old Paul and 57-year-old Tyson, who hasn’t fought since he and Roy Jones JR. met in a 2020 exhibition that ended as a draw.
Paul built a significant fan following as a youtube influencer and turned professional in boxing four years ago.
He has won nine of 10 fights with six knockouts against mostly undistinguished opponents…………….his only loss came last year to Tommy Fury, half brother of WBC heavyweight champ Tyson Fury.
“Iron Mike” Tyson was the undisputed World Heavyweight Champion from 1987-90 and retired in 2005 after winning 50 fights, 44 by knockout.
Paul’s second professional fight was on the undercard of the Tyson-Jones fight……….his most recent fight was last Saturday, when he knocked out Ryan Bourland.
