Mike Tyson, 57-year-old former heavyweight champ, to fight 27-year-old former YouTube star Jake Paul

Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson will fight social media star-turned-boxer Jake Paul on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Tex.

Tyson, 57, hasn’t fought since he and Roy Jones Jr. met in a 2020 exhibition that ended as a draw. Paul, 27, 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 undistinguished opponents.

Tyson was the undisputed world heavyweight champion from 1987-90 and retired in 2005 after winning 50 fights, 44 by knockout.
