Jake Paul, also known as “The Problem Child,” has been making waves in boxing since he turned pro in 2020. He won all four pro fights, three by knockout. He beat Nate Robinson, Ben Askren, Ryan Bourland, and Andre August. He has also been calling out some of the biggest names in the sport, such as Conor McGregor, Floyd Mayweather, and Canelo Alvarez.
Mike Tyson, known as “Iron Mike” or “the Baddest Man on the Planet,” is considered one of history’s greatest boxers. At 20, he became the youngest boxer to win a heavyweight title. He dominated the division throughout the 80s and 90s. He has a remarkable record of 50 wins, six losses, and two no-contests, with 44 of his wins coming by knockout. He is known for his ferocious power, speed, and aggression in the ring.
This will be Jake Paul’s biggest challenge yet, as he faces a boxing icon with over 30 years of experience and a reputation for being unstoppable. However, Jake Paul is not intimidated by his opponent. He said,
“Now, less than four years later, I’m stepping up to face Tyson myself to see if I have what it takes to beat one of boxing’s most notorious fighters and biggest icons.”
Mike Tyson, on the other hand, has expressed respect for Jake Paul’s growth and potential as a boxer. He said,
“He’s grown significantly as a boxer over the years, so it will be a lot of fun to see what the will and ambition of a ‘kid’ can do with the experience and aptitude of a GOAT.”
The game is scheduled to take place at AT&T Stadium, the home ground of the Dallas Cowboys, with a seating capacity of around 80,000. The event will be live-streamed on Netflix, expanding into the live sports arena after success with The Netflix Cup and The Netflix Slam. The details regarding the co-main event and the undercards will be revealed later.
This fight is expected to generate a lot of hype and excitement among boxing fans and casual viewers alike as they witness a clash of generations, styles, and personalities. Will Jake Paul pull off a stunning upset and prove himself as a legitimate boxer, or will Mike Tyson show him why he is still the baddest man on the planet? Tune in on July 20 to find out.
