Who had this one on their 2024 bingo card?
Boxing legend Mike Tyson will reenter the ring in July to face YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul at the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, in Arlington, Texas.
The high-profile bout between “The Baddest Man on the Planet” and “The Problem Child” will air on Netflix.
Tyson will be 58 years old when he squares off against the 27-year-old Paul. It’s been nearly 20 years since Tyson wrapped up his professional career, which featured a 50-6 record with 44 knockouts. The former heavyweight champion most recently faced Roy Jones Jr. in a November 2020 exhibition match that ended in a controversial draw.
Paul, meanwhile, boasts a 9-1 record with six knockouts in his boxing career. His opponents have ranged from MMA fighters like Anderson Silva to boxers like Tyron Woodley. He even faced ex-NBA player Nate Robinson on the undercard of Tyson vs. Jones Jr.
But now Paul will be in the main event as he battles one of the sport’s all-time greats.
